hip & butt pain
This came totally "out-of-the-blue".
Went on a 4 mile run last night. Warmed up with a slow jog - 1/2 mile - felt ok. Started running and there was a slight pain in the front of my left hip. Didn't really get worse and seemed to loosen up a bit, so continued.
Felt a little stiff when I got home, took some Motrin. I noticed pain in the hip and low back going up stairs, but ok walking down.
This morning hip hurts in front pretty bad, low back sore, calf hurts, outside of ankle hurts. All on the left side.
I'm breaking in new shoes, and wear them every other run. I wore them last night with my orthotics, but I think the shoes are not wide enough. I run 15 - 20 miles per week and started running in July. This is my 1st injury.
Any advice on self-treatment, preventatives, anything! Thanks
