Hamstring
The three hamstring muscles, semitendinosus, semimembranosus, and biceps femoris, run down the back of the thigh and help you bend (flex) your knee and extend your leg. Among its many functions, this trio of hamstring muscles is responsible for propelling your body forward with every step. These muscles originate at the bottom of the pelvis and attach to different areas after crossing behind the knee joint. During a hamstring strain, one or more of these muscles gets overloaded and may even start to tear.
Unfortunately, hamstring strains are both familiar and painful. They occur during activities that involve a lot of running, jumping, or sudden stopping and starting. These injuries are common among athletes who participate in sports such as running, soccer, skateboarding, football, soccer, and basketball.
A proper diagnosis and treatment plan will lessen the recovery time for this injury.

Femoroacetabular Impingement
Femoroacetabular impingement, or FAI, is a condition caused by too much friction in the hip joint. Basically, the ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum) rub abnormally, damaging the hip joint. Damage may occur to the articular cartilage (smooth white surface of the ball or socket) or the labral cartilage (soft tissue bumper of the socket).
The main symptoms of FAI are stiffness or pain in the groin or the front thigh and/or a loss of your hip’s full range of motion. With FAI, repetitive hip motion, such as prolonged walking, will become painful. Sometimes, groin pain occurs when you stand up after being seated for long periods. If you experience pain when walking on flat ground, this may indicate that the cartilage that cushions the hip ball and socket is wearing thin. This, left unchecked, may lead to osteoarthritis. Due to the wear and tear on the hip joint, Osteoarthritis is becoming more common for people under 50 years old who participate in professional and recreational sports.
Proper diagnosis is critical with a Femoroacetabular impingement so that the condition does not worsen.

Gluteus Medius
Gluteus medius syndrome is a condition that causes pain and inflammation in the outer portion of the hip. The gluteus medius muscle is one of three in the buttocks. It is responsible for moving the thigh away from the other thigh (abducting) and stabilizing the hip while walking, running, and jumping.
Tears of the gluteus medius usually occur where the tendon inserts at the greater trochanter (a protrusion near the femur), causing lateral hip pain. Gluteus medius syndrome may indicate a 1 or 2 muscle or tendon strain. Grade 1 strains cause pain, but the tendon is not lengthened.
Grade 2 strains include a lengthened ligament due to the ligament being stretched or partially ruptured. With grade 2 strains there is still function, although the function is decreased. To receive the proper diagnosis and treatment of Gluteus medius syndrome, you should see an orthopedic specialist
