Subject: Left Hip Pain on the side Used to run consistently years ago and never had this sort of thing . . . New runner, I just started running about 6 or so weeks ago - light running, only to about 35 minutes, at about 3.8 mph and only about 2x per week (using aqua jogging to supplement ). So not pushing it at all. Things are going pretty well, but lately I am getting a nagging left hip pain in the muscles/tendons on the side of the hip. It seems to be more muscles as it burns, than actual pain like I hurt myself. Because of this, I find that it changes my gait and in turn increases my HR. When I notice the change in my gait I try to correct but my proper position (for me ) makes it hurt. I try to do side leg lifts, side band steps and use the foam roller on the hip (hurts like hell on the left, no pain on the right ). I am sure working more on my aero bars on the bike this week didn't help much as well as doing alot of leg work in the pool HELP, what can I do? |
