Vallerina 2 #1 December 1, 2003 Almost three weeks ago, I went jogging on a treadmill. This is nothing unusual; I have jogged on a treadmill almost every other day for the past 10 months. I'm used to the normal aches and pains, but three weeks ago, I got this brand new pain. It felt like my hip gave out on me while walking around later that evening. It makes a weird popping sound while doing crunches. There is much soreness around my hip joint (I think...to describe where the pain is...on the lower right side of my back/side just above my butt.) It feels like a huge bruise that won't go away. I've tried rubbing it, and I've tried some hip joint stretches. It still hurts, and I still can't walk right after jogging. Don't tell me to stop jogging, because it's the one time during the day when I can tune everything out!!! I don't really want to go to the doctor, just because. I don't know why it happened either. I didn't increase my mileage, and I have decent running shoes that have plenty of life left in them. I have searched runnersworld.com for answers, but I'm not getting much. Just trying to figure out how to make this annoying pain go away....one day I'll see a chiropractor to fix all of my weirdo joint problems! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it might be a good idea to at least modify your exercise if it's hurting you. Try biking - it's extremely low impact, so if it's a joint issue, that may help. Or try swimming, which is both less range of motion and zero impact. Continuing to run on a damaged hip can cause nasty things like arthritis. >I don't really want to go to the doctor, just because. Well OK then! You could always ask some engineer on the net instead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ick...I really like running, but I guess if it's best for me and all that kind of stuff, I'll try something else out for a bit. Biking might be okay.
