what to do for hip flexor pain
Your hip flexors do a lot of work a lot of the time. They can be in pain from sitting too long and from doing the work to move you forward when you walk and run. To get rid of this pain: every 20 minutes stand for 20 seconds so you don’t sit so long, stretch regularly, that’s a whole body stretch routine, and strengthen other muscles besides the hip flexors to make them support the whole hips better the easiest way to do it is to walk backward and sideways at the kitchen counter until muscles are tired.

My favorite treatment is to counter the pressure with my hand and massage below the knee cap.
