Bad Hip/Loose Joints

Does anybody else have this problem?: I've had loose joints my whole life, which was great when I was a competitive swimmer, but now that I'm trying to run I really have to be careful. I find that my Right hip get sore really easily-today the tendon in the front just kills whenever I move my leg foreward or backward. It's been hurting since about 1/2 way thru my run yesterday. 9 times out of 10 it's just my Right hip.
Anybody out there know anything about this??

I have lose ligaments in all my joints and destroyed the ligament in my knee. I can't jog because it's to much stress on my knee.0

I was a swimmer for a bit but have had joint problems my whole life. I actually worked with a personal trainer who specializes in kinesiology about a year ago and he worked with me on developing a weight training program to build the muscles around all my joints (sholders, hips, knees & ankles) and stretches to keep them moving smooth. Since doing the program consistently for a year I have not had nearly as many joint issues. Actually when I take even 2 weeks off I can feel it and my knees start to get too loose again.
The other thing that helped me was seeing a chiropractor. Part of my joint probles is that I have poor arches in my feet which can then throw off my ankles, knees & hips. Every once and a while I see a chiropractor to make sure everything is in line so it can fll function smoothly.0 -

Maybe I'll go back to physio! I used to go to it all the time when I swam! That's soo $$$ tho :S Oh well, it'll be an investment in my health!0
