hip pain... again? (Read 686 times)

How many miles do you have on your running shoes? (You are running in running shoes, not department store sneaker, right?) :-) Could you be more specific about where you are feeling this hip pain? Victor

If your hip pain is right in your lower buttocks, right where your femur meets your hip socket, then I feel your pain. Believe it or not, it usually only bothers me really bad when it is going to rain. When I start noticing it more, I get a new set of inserts for my shoes. I use the Spinco soft arches inserts. You can try them out at your local running store. They are not very thick like some other inserts which can cause your heal to move too much because of the cushioning and rub a hole in the heal of your shoe. I have used them for years in Saucony grid hurricanes. They go in place of the stock insert. Any time your shoes need refreshing, get a new pair of inserts. Worth a try.

I think I might have bursitis. Thanks for all your help

Not really, it was mostly at the beginning of my run and would go away after a mile or so and if I stopped, it would hurt when I started again. It's better now that I have taken 3 days rest, but it still comes back at the beginning and end of my run.

They actually are different shoe brands. I currently have Asics and I used to have Mizuno, but it happened in my old shoes too.
