Recently diagnosed but now suffering from constant joint and hip pain

Agreed, but then I’d hardly call 57 an advanced age.

I'm a few weeks off 68 but I think my flexors might be older retreads.

You haven't torn or pulled a hip flexor by any chance? I did mine for the third time in June and got the classic sharp pain in the right side groin radiating down the inner thigh, pain in the hip socket, lack of mobility in the whole leg, and the same sock problem. There's a toenail issue further down the line.

Taking pressure off the flexor meant the muscles on the outside of the leg shortened and tensed, my knee turned out, and gave me further pain in glutes, knee and shin. Naproxen worked well on the inflammation.

Three months on it's much better but it needed some physio, and will need more before I play again. Nothing to do with Type 2, all to do with playing rough games when old enough to know better.

I did something similar 37 years back training? (Dance.) over pushed myself & didn’t feel it at the time had taken painkillers for a banging headache so as not to let the person I was training with down for the session..
& never felt it. But the following day?
It came & went over the years especially when my knee was knocked out.. (someone bumped into me once. Felt like I’d been stabbed in the right hand side of the groin? & stemming down the inside leg.)
Until about the last decade?
No recurrence. (T1 just insulin. No statins.)

I’m 57 years old..

The initial flexor injury was around 10-12 years ago, and was caused by turning round to the left, pivoting on the right foot. I was much heavier at the time and the flexor decided it had had enough. Possible design fault.
