Hip pain

[uniquemich]

Ok so I'm only beginning week 2 and I feel good and I'm taking it slow however I had terrible hip pain on last run and now I'm actually in pain . Surely it can't be the running ..

Did anyone else get this or have any recommendations.

Definitely give it a rest for a bit.

You should never ever run through or with pain. Even Olympic marathoners sometimes forget this (she ended up with a stress fracture of her hip).

If it doesn't get any better over the next few days, get it checked out by a qualified medical professional, eg. your GP.

Rest, use an icepack, maybe painkillers if you can't sleep. If it's still bad after a day or two see a doctor. Whatever you do don't run until it's better, and if it clears up when you rest and then starts again, see a doctor.

As you have already been advised..no run until no pain and if it does not go... then get expert support and advice

Thankyou all ☺️ Won't lie I probably would of run through it without this advice.
