nooo, im sorry to hear that!!! how long has this been going on? only when running?
maybe haybale can drop some PT knowledge on that issue. i think it's best to lay off running now, instead of making the problem worse and causing greater consequences in a few weeks.
im in a similar boat... i tried to brush off my hip pain and didn't take enough off time, which ruined my form and caused other muscles to compensate and overwork for the weak hip... now I have created new issues
im taking a week off from running and hope to feel fresh this tues when I attempt an easy 5k.
with running, you always want to push yourself, but it's important to know if you're actually causing more damage than improvement. there's a difference between pushing yourself to do 1 last 400m sprint because it's hot and humid, and pushing yourself in a regular run from unfamiliar muscle/joint pain. in your case, you might just need a week off and some ice. it would be terrible if your next couple of runs result in you being out for multiple weeks, especially with NYC to be planning for.
i would read up from google to get a good feel of what your symptoms match. trust me, I understand how stressful and disappointing this is for you!!! ive been depressed about my situation for a while now
but a week or so off might be all you need!
and for all you injury free runners in here that are increasing miles and intensity, you better be stretching and doing some abduction exercises!!!!!
