I'm sure there are countless threads on here about hip pain if I go searching, but I wanted to throw this out there since this is a new one for me.
I've posted on here with countless TMS symptoms over the years. And since I've started really getting into running, I have had a hard time distinguishing between overuse injuries and just plain old TMS pains.
Back in April, I had a bad deal with insertion Achilles tendonitis. It came on acutely, right in the middle of an attempted 14 mile run (prepping for a mini marathon). It was extremely painful to the point that I had a hard time even walking for a week or two. I tried to run and it was impossible due to the pain on every step. So I went to the PT and they gave me anti-inflammatories and told me to rest. So I just quit running for a few weeks, then walked out to run a mini-marathon and crushed it with a PR of under 2 hours amazingly lol. I never had the insertion Achilles ever again after that day strangely enough.
I took somewhat of a hiatus from running after the mini, I was only doing 3 mile runs at a time for the most part. But then over the summer I started to try to ramp up my mileage again (I want to run my first full marathon next year). I started getting soreness in the upper part of the Achilles. It was a completely different pain than with the insertion Achilles pain. That was intense pain that was impossible to run through. This was just a general soreness that I could run through, but hurt a little here and there.
So now flash forward to now, I've ramped back up to 15 miles a week (I need to get up to 20-25 a week very soon). The Achilles soreness that I felt almost every week is completely gone amazingly. Now my left hip is the problem (all of these pains and "injuries" are always on my left leg).
It is difficult the pin point where the pain is at exactly. I initially thought it was the hip flexor, so I just increased my stretching. But I think it think is a deep pain in the actually hip socket itself. I ran 4 miles this morning and I felt the pain the whole time pretty much, but it wasn't bad enough to make me want to stop. It hurts mainly when I pivot on my left leg, put pressure on the left leg, or lift it. This one is definitely a sharp pain.
Just curious if any other runners or people in general have had similar experiences. I could just lay off the running for a few weeks, but I would really hate to lose my cardio (especially over stupid TMS).
