Dealing with groin and young adult hip pain

  • Following a sprain/sudden pain: 2 days of relative rest is fine. Do keep moving generally though and do not take to bed. 
  • Do as much as your pains will let you then build up general activities over the coming days and weeks.   
  • Healthy weight: Being overweight greatly increases the chances of going on to have arthritis of the hip joint. See the links below for some suggestions of national and local services available to help on this front.
