Well this year has not started as we had hoped.  3 weeks ago, before the first game son injured his hip flexor gunning a runner down from left.  He heard a loud pop and fell to the grass.  He was not able to walk off the field on his own accord.  They sent him to the training office to be evaluated.  They diagnosed him with a Hip Flexor Strain (saying they didn't know if it was 1,2,or 3 and strain pretty much covered all of it) and he has been doing therapy on it daily since.  They had him do some pool work, massage, heat, tinge, stretching and he actually managed to do a light jog.  Majority of his pain has been in his lower abdomen attachment point with some obviously in the groin area.  There was no bruising that he could see.  HC said they would treat it conservatively for a few weeks and see how he heals.  HC sent me long text msg basically saying it was his experience that if this didn't take care of itself with minimal treatment it usual meant he would be medically unable to play for an extended length of time.   Therapy has helped but the trainer feels he is not healing quite as well as they would like to see.  They are sending him to the sports orthopedic rehab docs tomorrow for an evaluation.  Can anyone tell me about medically redshirting in NAIA?  He was never able to play an actual game as his injury was in an intersquad  game.  Has anyone any experience with this injury? What is the general outcome returning to 100% with this type of injury.  He's a speedster and he's a little nervous about his ability to return to full speed and frankly we are all a little on edge.    

Please go see the doctor!!  Son heard similar pop while running and it was a Pelvic Avulsion Fracture.  It can take from 6 weeks to 6 months to heal depending on the type of athlete, severity of fracture or if surgery is required.

He goes tomorrow.
