I am now 36, have been running for only 1 year and have run one marathon and two half-marathons. I had hip pain before the last half-marathon and then experienced difficulty when stretching that emphasized to me that something was wrong. I can no longer sit "Indian style" or drop my knee to the ground in another stretch. They've always laid flat before. My chiropractor has been working with me and I've recently seen a D.O. He first took and x-ray and had me lay off running for 2 weeks due to a stress fracture in my right tibia. After the 2 weeks off and no real improvement in the hip, the D.O. had an MRI done. That showed nothing as well. He eventually diagnosed "hip strain/sprain". He mentioned that my hip clicks when he maneuvers it. The pain is a sharp, jabbing pain that suprises me. It does not hurt to run or walk but "comes out of no where" when I turn this way or that. Getting into the car, getting into bed, uncrossing my legs, scooting something aside with my foot, etc. have all been movements that have sent me writhing in pain. I am very discouraged by my lack of improvement and very ansy to get back to running. My question to you is "what do I do now" and can a "hip strain/sprain" cause these jabbing pains? What exactly is going on and will it get worse with running and better without or is it something I just have to deal with? Thank you for your time and suggestions.
