WTF just happened to me?

Can you walk without pain?

Can you run without pain?

Yes, can walk with mild discomfort and also run easy with little pain. It's the pop that concerned me - never felt anything like that.It kind of felt like a nerve thing to me.....

is it popping constantly or just that one time? My knee pops on occasion. Step odd...pop...no pain and I carry on.

honestly my pelvis pops sometimes i was worried about it at first but then i realized it wasw prolly fine. read someything awhile back that popping doesn't necessarily mean something changed something about release in gases or something.

Just the one time.....never happened before. Strange sensation. No severe pain so Im assuming I didn't mess anything up?

When I was a lad I got carried away with a yoga stretch and popped my hip joint pretty bad. It ached for quite a while after that and I was careful to not stretch it aggressively for years. 40 years later and zero hip problems when many my age are getting replacements. It helps that I am a.rock climber so get lots of natural mobility from that.

It was when I was stretching the hip and it did feel like something "snapped" - but without a jolt of pain. My best guess is the tendon got "snagged" on my hip bone and "snapped" when it reset.

24 hours later and I was able to run today (about 8 miles easy). Started off with mild discomfort in upper thigh, but it subsided and I had a pretty good run. BUT, tonight it is tender and I am walking with a bit of a hitch in my stride.

Seems like I avoided any major tears in my hip flexor (still not sure what the pop/pinch feeling was), but I am wondering if I should avoid running until it feels 100%, or if there pain is minimal I can train though it.....thoughts?

Aggressive stretches are not a good idea.

Having said that, a snap or pop in and of itself might not be a problem if there are no other symptoms. But you are saying there are some symptoms. The problem is we can only guess really. We can't see you or your muscles, tendons, ligaments, etc. Presumably you didn't tear anything as I think you'd really know about it (although some people don't).

I just looked it up and it's ass to grass split which is a really severe stretch IMO, it's not even really meant to be a stretch, it's for strength gains!

Where in your upper thigh? Can you provide a diagram with a mark on it to show where the problem is?

I think this picture is pretty accurate where the pain is. Regrettably the pain is worse now 48 hrs later. No bruising or swelling, but it is tender to the touch and I feel it pulling if I walk normally.
