I've had a hip problem for the past ten days. At first I thought it was the itb (illio-tibial band) but after seeing my chiro 3 times, the diagnosis is still unsure.

When I cycle it feels like a knife going through my hip, after a 30 minute warm up. When I run, I can just feel a horrible pressure after 45 minutes. Even when I swim with the pull-bouy it hurts afterwards. It's not tendonitis, it's not a tibial displacement...we just don't know what it is...

I was supposed to do the Mooseman 1/2 in ten days. It was going to be my first 1/2 IM. Am I a total suck for wanting to cry about not being able to compete?

Has anyone else had to cancel due to injury? If so, what did you do to get over it psychologically? Any insight would really help.

Thanks.
