Over the last two weeks, a sharp pain has developed on the back side of my hip. I run easy 2-3 mile run/walks 5 days a week, with a 6 miler on the 6th day. Twice a week I do lunges. I emphasize that these runs are very slow and easy (I have been running for decades with no problem). At first, I was able to "warm up" enough during the first mile, so that I was able to extend my right leg and complete a normal "gait", however, it became more intense to the point that my right foot now "scrapes" the ground, and I do a running "limp". This only occurs when I run, otherwise, there is no pain when I walk or when I am at rest. Also, the hip has sort of a stiff feel about it, like something needs to be loosened up. I would say that most of this became more evident when I added the lunges into the workout. I have not gone to the doctor, because there is no pain outside of running, so that lately, I have been doing other aerobic exercise and experiencing no pain.
I would sure like to know if anyone else has experienced this situation.
