(That was it. I was able to squat tonight with minimal to tolerable pain. This is the first squat workout I have been able to do in awhile, so the prehab/rehab work I’ve been doing must be working. Leg strength is down right now, but as long as I’m able to lift with little to no pain in my hip it should come back quickly.)
