Subject: Help--Left Hip Pain
My left hip pain has almost stopped my running and I'm starting to get depressed. I'm hoping that others here can help me diagnose, treat, recover and prevent my left hip pain.
The pain is at the top of my left hip. At first I thought it was caused by my run belt rubbing the top of my hip bone, but then I could barely lift my left leg to get into the car. After researching my pain it seems that I MAY have pulled / torn my TENSOR FASCIAE LATAE at the top attachment point. If I don't run for 2-3 days the pain and swelling goes away, but every time I try to gradually increase my run speed or distance the same injury returns and knocks me back down to slow and short recovery type runs.
I'm hoping that someone can help me with any information or guidance. Thanks

You need to go see a Dr. to determine if you have torn something. I'm thinking you probably haven't based on the fact that it feels better, then returns. When I tore my calf muscle, it got better day by day (slowly), but when it did feel better, it didn't start hurting again when I worked out.

As the least you should go see a chiro who does ART. Maybe you have a tight area that just needs to be worked on. Have you tried foam rolling or putting ice on the area?

I am experiencing hip flexor pain. I hurt it two weeks ago during a race and it's bothered me ever since. Do you have suggestions on how to prevent problems or how to cure it?

I sometimes have severe pains on the top of my left foot. It feels like a knife is stabbing my inner foot on the outer portion of my foot. These pains happen mainly at night but not while riding.

I strained my left hamstring over two years ago and thought I had gotten past it. Yesterday, it hampered me quite a bit and it felt like it was on the edge of giving out again.

At about the 1/2 mile mark my left soleus becomes extremely tight and painful. The pain then progresses into my left arch and then into my left knee.

During a "power yoga" session I noticed pain with hip adduction/internal rotation. Running and biking don't seem to bother it, as long as I don't push it. I still have achy pain with walking.

I have noticed an occasional pain in my left hip flexor. The pain is most noticeable when running uphill. Is there a way to fix the problem without taking time off from training?
