I went to the state physio and they looked at everything past injuries and stance all that.. they found out that i had an imbalance in my core and legs... I didn't know how to use my glutes at all!!! while doin certain exercises, so i had to build them up and isolate them.. I was givin a machine and it told me which muscles i was using during the exercises.. it as put on my hips and glute... My hips were way too tight from all the extra stress i was putting there to compensate...

But yeah im still in the season atm... I waiting for it to end and them im working hard on strengthin my core and legs...

You better not neglect this injury trust me.. there a guy who used to play and hasn't for like 2 years now...

And it can develop into Tendinosis, which is fuked and its hard to ever recover.. Best thing to do is always ice after practice and games.. and find out what the cause is now before it gets worse... If it hurts while playing, don;t play..

Go see a GOOD physio, who finds out the cause
I agree, but it's much worse if it hurts the day after u play.. In the beginning it'll only hurt when playing, so it's a good idea to stop there. Unfortunately alot of players will play through because it only hurts a little while they play, and i gets better when they get warmed up... But if you continue to do this and it hurts the day after you are ****ed cuase it's so hard to get rid of again.. So my advice to everyone is to get rid of it while it is a minor problem, cause otherwise you may not be able to play ever again or atleast have a looooong break...
