Default Ghost Door...???

Hey everyone!!!
I got a funny situation going on with my drivers side door all of a sudden. 2 days ago it started to get very hard to open all the way, and hard to close. It almost feels as if something on the other side of where you either pushing or pulling from seems to be working against you. Feels very "spongy" like resistance.

Now for the record, I have not been in any accident, adjusted door hinges, or been in severe/extreme weather conditions at all. I also played around with the idea of cabin pressure by opening up the windows a bit when closing to see if that eliviated the issue, but no luck. Not to mention that the resistence is felt at about halfway distance when either opening or closing the door from its complete range of motion.

I kinda looked around the hinge area, and depite my original thought that there might be some sort of strut/shock that could be leaking or holding in excessive air (or whatever), I could not see anything but "hinge" like body parts.

Anyone have any suggestions as to what may or may not be the issue? Or anyone with same problem?

Thanks for you help guys!!!
