tammymusic1

So two half weeks ago after I did an 11 mile run I started to have some hip pain on the left side about an hour after then run. Iced it and took so Ibuprofen That Monday went out for a 4 mile run and at 3 miles had a sharp pain go all the way down to my foot. Felt better after ice and meds again so tried again on Wed to go out but after 1 mile hobbled back home in so much pain I could barley make it home. For the last 2 weeks have been off not running at all and started to feel better on Friday .Today I felt pretty good so i thought I would go out and try a 2 mile run well half mile in I Felt this pop in my hip or side right where you carry a baby or where your jeans hang on you.I am in so much pain now I can't even move. ANyone experience this as a runner. Can't get into DR till Saturday they are booked.

I had similar pain after my first longer distance run (but it was only 10 km!). Mine was caused by tight hip flexors, which I'm guessing is what's sore on you. I couldn't even lift my legs up to put my pants on, I had to grab my ankle and lift with my hands.

But if something popped and you are still really sore, you definitely should see your doctor to find out what's going on!

Best of luck!
