R Hip/Pelvis, Hip Pain

2007-05-08 – 2007-10-16

Grade: 2

May be continuation of previous injury, but the pain is different.

Stepped in a hole with right foot while re-running forest park sprint.

Achey, tight pain while extending leg. Don't have full strenght on push-off. Perhaps slow to extend.

Hip/Upper leg is tight after sitting a while.

Soreness radiates down the ham, the ITB, and a little bit up into the lower back.

Cycling and Stairmaster don't seem to bother it. Notice it most while road running where speed is higher. Definitely affected speed at Sprints on the 17th.

Doesn't seem to be affected by naproxen or ibuprofin.

Dr. appt on June 11 (first available).

June 11: PRP injection
June 19: Still a little achey and tight after sitting for a while.
July 31: The PRP injection in the ham string cured the hamstring problem in about 4 weeks. However, I think I pulled some lower back muscles or glute attachment points at the same time. They haven't healed yet and are still tight. Doesn't bother me at normal running speeds but causes pain when sprinting on the extension.

2007-10-15 I'm calling this one recovered. It's still noticable when I stretch, but I don't think it's affecting my running.
