    KAR328 - Bummer, sorry to hear your hip is bothering you again. Mine bothers me when I walk. It's fine when I run. Wanna trade? :laugh::bigsmile: Mine seems to be the piriformis muscle and has the added bonus of sciatic pain...especially when going up stairs. I'm trying to stretch it a couple times a day and I'm also foam rolling the heck out of it trying to beat it into submission. :laugh: Some days it works, others not so well.

    I've been reading up on that muscle. Mine also hurts more going up steps or inclines than down them. I did stop googling hip fractures since the pain was completely gone for over a week and I did a few miles on them. I've found some stretches, the pigeon pose works well and I use a foam roller but probably need to do more. I'm going to NYC in two weeks and need the legs so I'll stick with walking for now.

    PS - you're higher on my Fitbit dashboard than you usually are. Nice going! :flowerforyou:

    What are the odds you're having similar pains?!? I haven't tried that pigeon pose....I'm doing a different variation (don't know the name for it), but it hurts so bad. I can't stretch it very far. I sit on the floor with my feet as far apart as I can, then pull one foot in tight so my knee is bent and then I try to lean forward. Well mostly I lean way to the side because that's the only direction I can go without the pain sending me through the roof. Not sure what else I can do. I've been walking approximately 2 miles every weekday at lunchtime and it starts off so tight, but does loosen up after about a half mile in....enough so I can walk without looking like I have a hitch in my step. I hate it. Not sure what started it or how I hurt it. I remember back in maybe March when I was running on the treadmill and heard a pop in a tendon near my hip and then there was bruising a couple days later, but that pain was more on the direct side of my hip. My previous research pointed at it maybe being my tensor fasciae latae and the noise I heard was a hip bone plucking it like a rubber band. Maybe in letting that heal, it changed the way I walk or run and that caused an inbalance that led to the piriformis acting up? I don't know. I'm not a doctor. I'm not even a health professional like you are. :laugh: Anyway, I hope we can both get this figured out because it's no fun!

    Thanks for the cheers for my Fitbit steps! I'm pretty happy about having a decent week. :smile:

    Happy to be back,,,now to recoup from the vacation...so adding 8.08 walking miles for today.

    Sounds like I'm able to join the "PAIN IN HIP" club. I've gone to see my chiropractor and he told me my pelvis was out of alignment, So with some adjustments the pain is gone from the hip, now the muscles are upset from the release of the tension. Oh well I'll just keep moving and get the adjustments done as needed.

    3.2 mile walk. Stopped to pet two mini collies (twice, coming and going) and then had to stop to take a picture of the doe on the path, staring me down.

    ... I have a busy week ahead if I am to catch-up with myself! Was feeling very lazy this week. We have our annual week of sunshine so it was so much easier to laze around than run :laugh:

    Man - I'm so sorry to hear about everyone with hip pain - a hip injury is what kept me out of the game for about a year. NO FUN! I really endorse the pigeon pose as a good one... I mean, really, just sit in that pose for as long as you want - minutes upon minutes if you can (warm up first, though - don't just go right into it). My injury doctor also had me do a bunch of exercises to strengthen the other muscles around my hip/butt, etc. He recommended doing something called the Myrtl routine. You can google it. I do it (well, should do it - I've been a bit more lax about it lately but I still try to do it) 3 times per week. It takes about 10 minutes to go all the way through the routine, so not too time consuming, and I noticed a huge difference after just a few weeks of doing it, in terms of my ability to do it and my ability to run further without increasing the pain. I really hope you all get better very very soon!!!

    For myself, I'm adding 22 miles today (1 of which was a mile at 8:30 pace, which I believe is the fastest mile I have EVER run. And I wasn't completely dead at the end! WOOT!)

    ETA: when I said "google it" above, I really meant find it on YouTube. I think it's by some guy named Coach Jay or something like that. The video is just a woman demonstrating the exercises - nothing fancy.
