Hi, I’m a first time poster and thought maybe someone here could help. I started running a few months ago on the treadmill – I average 3 miles / 4 days a week.

This week I have hip pain in the front of my left leg only. I visibly cringe when I get up from a seated position and it takes about 10 steps until I can walk relatively normally without a limp.

I’m currently taking an anti-inflammatory, muscle relaxer and pain medication for a pinched nerve – so I’m some what alarmed at this new pain. My pinched nerve is in my neck, so I don’t think it’s related and my neck is feeling great : ) I am scheduled to see my orthopedic surgeon on August 15th, but didn’t know if I should go in sooner. Any idea’s? My initial thought is it’s some type of bursitis.

Thanks!
Laurie
