    Does it click?

    I don't know about the OP, but for me-it's my left crotch-ish that hurts, and my right hip feels like it "needs" to click/pop, but despite the soft porn stretching, that hasn't happened yet...

    I get that too, mine (I think) is caused by the hills that i run on my route everyday, plus running on the same side of the street/sidewalk, it ends up putting that pressure on the same side of my leg .. just my thoughts.. kind of feels like I pulled a muscule on the inside of the upper thigh/groin area.

    I usually stretch before/after and that helps, if it get too bad, I'll take a day or change routes to ease it up some.

    I strongly suggest you go and see your Dr.

    I am re-habbing from hip/groin pain. I am a runner (on hold at the moment) and I do other workouts. I was having the same type of random flare ups and at times chronic pain. After going to physio, acupuncture, Dr., sports injury Doc and having an ultra sound and a CT scan they discovered that I had torn the cartlidge from the bone in my hip as well as having signs of osteo-arthritis. I was close to 6 weeks with no exercise.

    Sports Doc thinks it could of been from doing lunges holding a weight and twisting and then the running aggravated it further.

    I would hold off on exercise until you have it looked at. In the meantime ice and rest.

    All the best.

    Thanks guys, for all the suggestions. Think I may pop along to the ol' doc and get it sorted out. Don't want to take too much time off...especially after the holidays.

    I had a pain like that and th Dr. said sometimes we can get a "spur" (calcium) that forms. He did x-rays to rule it out and then just told me if it hurt take pain meds :(

    Ok, hold on a minute. I have been doing yoga for more than 10 years. If there is one thing I have learned, it is that you should NOT stretch an area that hurts. Give it a break until you figure out what is wrong. You could be exacerbating an injury, especially if it is something like a ligament tear or an inflamed tendon.

    Ditto here. I've been doing yoga for about 10 years too and started running about 3 years ago. I think any injury I have gets WORSE when I try to fix it doing yoga. I get "warm" and then overstretch. The next thing you know I can't walk without pain.
