Hip pain question

I would suggest that you have it checked by a doc. I've been having hip issues for the past year. Massage therapy really seems to do the trick, but my docs also treated me for bursitis.

Yes, get it checked out. But also, when you want to go faster you should actually shorten your stride. Keep it short and fast. When you try to push it longer it can cause hip flexer probs. Good luck!!

Your thigh has a tendon that goes in by and attaches to the pelvic bones. When that tendon gets tight, as tendons will do when pain is present, it shortens up pulling the thigh into your hip socket binding things up and making it hard and painful to move your leg. Lay on your bed with your legs pulled up, bent at the knee so that your feet rest flat on the bed. Run your finger down the crease of your hip and body until you get to around your pelvis. There you should find a bump in the crease. Take that bump between your fingers and thumb and press together or press into the bump as hard as you can. Hold for 30 seconds then slowly lower your leg out to the side. It should go almost all the way to the bed if released. Then release the pressure but hold your leg there for another 30 seconds.
it sounds odd but i know someone who had a lower lumbar strain and it effected their hip so you can try this to see if it works .. make sure you are doing good stretches as well but you should also check with your doctor better safe than sorry .. hope this helped

Definitely check with a doctor and make sure it isn't anything serious. If it is just a muscle, try looking up stretches on Youtube or many other sites, there are many great stretches you can do. My problem turned out to be the piriformis muscle was too tight and it was pressing on my sciatic nerve. Very painful. But a few weeks stretching that muscle and good as new. Good luck.
