How long to recover from a pulled hip muscle?


Question:
1st off, I wear a single B.K. (Below Knee) prosthesis.
Whenever I need to move a short distance (like from my bed to the bathroom) I simply HOP.
My hip muscle (of my still "good" leg) seems sore during the past four months. - I might have taken a few too many "hops" around my house.
I still feel a definite SORENESS all around my hip muscle all day long; more seriously in the early morning hours, after I get up even after donning my (other leg) prosthesis.
What are my possible options to encourage this muscle to recover?
And, would it be rational for me to use a wheelchair to move from my bed to the restroom in the early morning hours, instead of hopping?
I hate having to don and remove my prosthesis just to walk only 5 or 6 paces from my bed to my restroom. - EH! - SUCH A WASTE OF EFFORT.

Answers:
I had this problem. Laying on the ground, propping yourself up on ur elbows, lift that leg up 5 times and do 5 sets each day and night... thats from my physical therapist and it helps
