Hi Folks,
Just joined the forum after a bit of browsing around. Greetings from Glasgow.
I'll give you a quick resume, please try to stay awake :d
I'm 33 and fairly active. I did a load of running 8yrs ago then switched to lifting weights for a few years and using cardio machines but no road running.
Due to a new addition to the family in january I took a few months off, then last month I decided to start running again as it took up less time than the gym did.
Started off running 2-3 miles - all fine. then I changed my shoes and ran 3 nights in a row and since then I can't shake the pain/stiffness in my left hip which occurs immediately after the run and lasts through to the next day. no pain during running.
I thought it might be my shoes, so I went to a running shop and had gait assessment done and was recommended to change shoes to Asics Kayano. Seems that my left ankle tends to roll inwards pretty badly while running.
Anyway, this was last Saturday and since then I've stepped up my runs to 5 miles, done one sunday and one last night and it's no better.
After trawling the www I found an article on ITBS which says the pain can occur at the hip not just the knee and a few causes are : over pronation and increasing intensity too quickly, both of which I have been guilty of.
Incidentally, if I press on the bony bit on the outside of the hip it feels like pressing a bruise.
Considering a physio or chiropractor shortly but was just wondering if anyone has experienced similar.
PS Albmaleaf, I ordered some of your product a couple of days ago for this :d
EDIT: wow, that's clever, I typed kayano and it makes a nice wee link, cool
