Pain in hip when coming out of side stretch

[ray barnett]

Can anybody help with this problem.

when coming out of a side stretch I experience pain in my right hip which also runs down my femer, the greater the stretch, the more the pain.

At times it can be so severe that I can bearly move or bear any weight on the leg, it only last for a few minutes once I am out of the stretch.

I ensure that I am tilting my hips while doing the side plit and I believe my legs to be strong enough.

Thanks for any help :

If the pain is on the outside of the hip and down the outside of the leg or across the gluts have your hip checked for hip bursitis.
