Hello,
Hoping for some guidance or maybe someone has had the same issue.
16 weeks into training for a challenge I've set myself and after a long bike ride (following a 38k hill run 1 day prior), I went out for a recovery 30 min run and ended up with quite a bit of discomfort in my hip.
It's not at the front but almost behind my hip bone and into the buttock cheek (kind of where you would stick a lacrosse ball/foam roller).
It feels like something (tendon?) - a piece of thin rope - is being pulled taught between my hip and probably my knee, and is being dragged over something else in my hip and buttock, each time I step.
I gave it a weeks rest, and went out for a run and had to stop after 5 mins as I felt it coming on again. Went out for a walk instead and I could feel it nagging me and flaring up a little.
Have searched for common reasons, and feel like it's probably something that's inflamed, but wondering if anyone else has had something similar (assume it's fairly common) and if the have any magic solutions?
Starting to worry as I'm meant to be doing the event this coming weekend.
