Hip pain

After completing C25k and running 3x a week for 30 mins I haven’t been able to run since early December 😢. After X-ray showed no arthritis the dr has diagnosed Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS). I have exercises to do and I am doing yoga and aqua classes. There are days when I think it’s getting better but if the running caused it I’m not sure I’ll be able to run again. Feeling very fed up.

Really sorry to hear that, sounds tough. It’s great you’re keeping your fitness levels up too. Have you tried a sports physio? They’re often better equipped with exercises? Wishing you all the best and hope you’re back out soon 👍
