I am 6′2″ 215lbs and have what would be considered “Flat feet” ( I do not use Orthodics, never have). I have had MRI’s (arthrogram/Regular), x-rays, physical therapy, etc and nothing has worked and no one seems to know anything. Here are the details, if I rotate my hip out and in a circular motion I will get a click or crunch sound deep in my hip. When I am running, at the onset of hard acceleration my hip flexor or groin area will pop or snap, causing pain deep inside and basically stop me from accelerating. This will happen every time I accelerate hard. I would say the area of pain is located about 4-5 inches down and an inch and a half inwards from the front point of my hip that you can feel (4-5 inches to the right of bellybutton and an inch or so down) on my right right leg. It seems to happen less when I keep my abs flexed real hard and if I warm up and stretch for 20-30 minutes before this accelerating, but it still happens either way. I also experience deep pain in that area when performing the butterfly stretch. Its not the normal stretch type of pain.
I am wondering if I had some injurt that led to this? Someone mentioned an inguinal hernia before? How do you find out if you have one? I am I play a lot of sports and I can not play as hard or as aggressive bc of this injury. Any help would be appreciated.

I had shoulder arthroscopy with a Bankart Repair, Remplissage (technique to deal with large, engaging Hill-Sachs lesions that involves anchoring part of the rotator cuff into the divot in the bone), and tightening of the front of the joint capsule on January 5. I just started, per surgeon’s orders, physical therapy this past Monday (February 1).
All that’s being done at this point is passive movement, mostly stretching, not past 30 degrees of external rotation or above shoulder height to the front.
I’ve only had it twice, but the pain is excruciating. On the pain scale of 0-10 (10 being the worst, 0 being no pain) I went from approximately a 3 (on 800mg of ibuprofen) or a 5-6 (no painkillers) on Sunday to an 8 Monday night after PT, had my second session today, and am currently hovering around a 6 on percocet (which was prescribed post-surgery- I had a few left and the pain after PT was around a 9).
Anyway, what I’m wondering is, is this level of pain normal at this stage? I’ve left a message for my surgeon, but tomorrow is his surgery day, so it’s unlikely he’ll get back to me before Monday (possibly tomorrow night if he checks with his office before going home). If it reaches such a high level (8-10) again, should I just not worry about him for the moment and go to the emergency room, or is this to be expected and the ER will just tell me to ice/rest/take anti-inflammatories, etc?
Just some stats that may or may not be relevant:
22-year-old female in good physical condition (5′5″, 117, exercise regularly and eat healthily)
Injury was from a bicycle accident in October that resulted in a dislocation and severe instability
Currently taking Avelox (Leviquin) for chronic sinus infection
No other health problems
