Returned to running 4 weeks ago now I've been diagnosed with hip flexor strain, on Wednesday told to take ibuprofen, pain killers, ice hip and complete rest. How long should it take before I should be pain free, move properly and sit down without having to straighten my right leg in the air and fall into seat? Baths and going to the toilet right now is Comedy Central! How long do hip flexors take to heal?

It is a lot better no pain today and have done a few very basic hip flexor stretches without pain then I have iced it.
I've read here - https://hipflexorsinfo.com/hip-flexor-strain-exercises/ and here - https://www.summitmedicalgroup.com/library/adult_health/sma_iliopsoas_tendonitis/ that it depends on the severity of the strain, but in most cases it takes up to 6 to 8 weeks for a strained hip flexor to fully heal.
