It's now been three weeks since I have been able to run due to my hip being in pain. I have an appointment today, hopefully I will be back at it soon.

Thanks everyone. Appointment went well, turns out my hip is locked up. The left side is 7mm lower that the right side and the sacriatic nerve is being compressed. I start three weeks of therapy tomorrow. This sucks. And I will definitely go slow when this is all over with.

Hope all goes well for you. I'm just getting over a similar injury. My hips were out of wack and it was compressing my sciatic nerve. I was a little slower to take the hint that something was really wrong though and haven't run for about 7 months-I was trying to be a trooper Sad

. Not one of my brighter ideas. I've been in physical therepy for about 2 months now. It's worked wonders. I hope you recover much more quickly. I definately feel your pain...in the mean time, take it slow Smile

I am going to a Chiropractor. I hope I made the right choice there. They said after eighteen visits and $650 later, I will be better that before.

that's 18 visits just to get close to fixed...then there will be maintenance visits....and possibly orthotics to fix your posture.... Tongue

I'm taking 3 wks off to see if it helps with my foot (hence the avatar). I endured 30 excruciatingly boring minutes on the exercise bike today. Echhh. Not fun. And my dog/coach/running partner Daisy is really pissed!
