A few years ago I tore the cartilage in my right hip which resulted in a labral tear with early osteoarthritis (with no surgery option unfortunately). Then a year ago I had pain around my kneecap in the same leg. After strengthening my glutes the pain went away in my knee, the physio said that was the cause of the problem (so I assume it's related to the labral tear).
Every now and then I get a little bit of hip / knee pain from weight training in the gym, but nothing too bad.
But I had 3 pretty heavy nights out over the weekend for my birthday, and I woke up after the 3rd night out with pain in my right hip and my knee. The knee pain feels just like what I had a year ago and have now had it for around 36 hours.
I cannot understand where the pain has come from, as I haven't trained my legs in about a week! All I can think of is that the alcohol and dehydration has caused some inflammation in my joints?
