Hip Pain After Running Posted: 11-13-07 13:52pm
Hi! I have been having hip pain for a
while now. I saw a PT for the right hip
pain. I had to stop running for about 6
weeks too. I think it was time, not the
PT that helped it get better! Now I've
started running again and my left hip
hurts! It doesn't hurt so much WHILE I'm
running, but after, and the next day. It
is right around my hip bone. Anyone have
any suggestions or ideas?

Hip Pain Posted: 11-13-07 15:59pm
Hello! If I were you - I would go to an
orthopedic doctor - preferably one that
specializes in hips. I had hip pain for
years before being diagnosed with
bilateral hip dysplasia at age 28. I had a
hip scope done then to repair a torn
labrum - which did not help. Since then I
have had 2 children - and the hips hurt
more and more. I too had to stop running.
They didn't hurt while I ran - just
after. I get a dull ache deep in the hip -
and get sharp pains in the groin after I
sit. My hips also "pop" and "crack" a lot.
I am still able to walk, swim and do the
elliptical - but am limping around by the
end of the day.
I am now facing either replacement or
resurface in both hips - or a surgery
called periacetabluar osteotomy where they
try to reconstruct your own hips. (and I
am only 33!!!)
I now not only have the dysplasia (the hip
socket is too shallow for the "ball"), I
now have osteoarthritis and cysts in both
hips.
Hope all goes well - I know that having
hip pain is no picnic!

Thanks! Posted: 11-13-07 16:18pm
Thanks, I should probably go to an
orthopedic. The PT really didn't help and
I don't think she figured out what the
real problem is. She thought it was a
back injury and treated it that way. None
of the online research I've done
accurately describes the location and
level of my hip pain. A dr would be the
best bet! By the way, I am also only 38 -
not old enough for hip replacements

An MRI and X-rays would tell if there was
a problem with the joint itself.
Does the pain cause you to limp?

The regular family doctor didn't think it
was the joint because of certain test he
did (pushing, having me bear weight). The
pain certainly does cause me to limp after
I've run, and after I've been sitting and
I get up to walk. The strange part is
that it was my right hip, I rested for 6
weeks (with PT) and now it's my left hip.
Of course, by the time I finally went to
the PT, both hips were starting to hurt
along with my knees and I couldn't even
walk fast without serious pain! I went
way too long before going to the dr.

Left Hip Pain Posted: 11-18-07 17:40pm
I too have hip pain. It originally was
only after a run, and then progressed to
during a run as well. It is deep in the
hip and towards the back at the top of the
gluteus maximus. I took 8 weeks off
running and began a series of 10 rolfing
sessions. My rolfer finds points in and
around my hips that shoot hot pain through
my hamstrings. I have extremely tight
gluteus maximus and minimus. I have been
stretching and rolfing now for over 10
weeks. I began running again (5 minute
walk, 10 minute run, etc. for 30 minutes).
I still have hip pain after I run but not
as extreme. I have been told that I am
engaging my stride with the wrong muscles
due to my gait. This is very difficult to
change, but I am working on it. Have you
seen a deep tissue massage therapist or
rolfer? I do feel this helped me some.
My rolfer is awesome, however I do not
feel that it cured my hip pain and am
exploring the orthapedic option as well.
I am 35 years old...also feel too young
for hip pain! I sympathize with you.
This is the only injury I have had that
has not gone away with rest and proper
stretching. It has been going on now
since June. Any advise out there is
appreciated and I hope that you may find
relief soon!

It could possibly be due to trochanteric
bursitis-an inflammation of the bursa
surrounding your hip joint. Things that
can help this include injections,
ultrasound, iontophoresis, and a therapist
who knows how to deal with this type of
injury.

Hip Injury Posted: 11-25-07 20:46pm
I also had a hip injury about a week ago.
We had finished harvesting our olives and
I came into the house to do some ironing.
Suddenly, the iron fell off the ironing
table and onto the carpet. I made a
sudden, lurching motion to try to grab the
iron off the carpet, and I felt this
incredible, searing pain and heard a
popping sound. I almost fainted.
Literally saw stars. Got the iron up and
laid down. Didn't do much for a few days.
Then went out into the vineyard and was
doing o.k. and then again made the
movement going from left over sharply to
the right and again the same pain. Barely
made it back up to the house.
I don't know if there is a hairline crack
there or something just out of place.
Just know it really hurt.
