    The pull out is not effective....

    Ask my sister. She is on baby number three with the pull out method.

    Wait. What?!?

    I had the same issues with running after I had my son. I went to see a chiropractor (find a highly recommended one in your area). You will have to see him a lot at first possibly 3 times a week, but you won't have to do that for long. Your hip sounds like it needs to be set back into place, and I've been told this is common for runners. The chiropractor can also help you with your ankle issues. You may have to wear a brace .... they actually had to pop mine back into place (it sounds worse that it is), but all of that pounding does take a toll on your body. I am not a doctor, but you sound like you have the same issues I had when I started running again after I took off 4 months when I was pregnant. ICE EVERYTHING AFTER YOU ARE DONE AND STRETCH YOUR HAMSTRINGS well - not so much before your run but after your run, before you go to bed, and especially when you wake up in the morning. You will notice a HUGE difference if you stretch and ice both your hip and ankle after a run too. Sucks getting old! :)

    Sounds like the running is hard on your joints. I have similar issues and I don't run. I would see a doctor just to get the clear to either run, or advice not to run. I was told as a teen that I should stop all sports with jumping (like my favorite basketball) because my knee had so many problems. I was given the option: you can play now, OR you choose to be able to walk when you're 40. I'm over 40, and even though it was hard to give up the sports I loved, I'm grateful for the advice of the doctor. I was able to pursue other things, including strength training and even walking. Not as exciting, but still rewarding.

    See a doctor and don't push through it unless you get an "all clear."

    My advice, if you are thinking that you need to pull out, it's time to slow down.
    *remove mind from gutter*
    But seriously, for me, taking a bit of a break from running helped. I went down to running maybe twice a week, for ten minutes only, for a couple of weeks, and focused instead of low impact cardio. I went from being a couch tato to running, and my body gave up. Taking it a bit slower helped. Get my body used to that movement for a long duration on the elliptical, then start adding the high impact back into the equation.
    I have a funky hip too. I can't figure out how to get it back in place, but sometimes I can stretch just right that there is a glorious "pop" and suddenly I can run and everything moves how it should. Also have some pretty interesting issues with my left heel that tried to eat my soul when I started running.
    Best of luck!

    As a woman, I can say the clear answer is to always PUSH HARDER!

    Oh wait, on topic... those are some strange symptoms you are describing. Aching = understandable when beginning a new activity. Swelling and Popping = not normal. Go to a dr.

    See a doctor first before you just give up. Sometimes there are things we can have done for preventive measures. By the way....shame on me for clicking on this link! :blushing:

    dang i feel like quagmire when he is misguided
    on topic you should really see a doctor and see what's wrong
    Giggidy, I agree.

    Joints aren't something you want to mess with, they don't just grow back. I should know, I've been dealing with joint problems all my life. You should definitely seek a doctor's opinion on whether they think you should push through the pain or if you're risking permanent injury.

    My opinion is: Pull out!
