Restriction or irritation at the L4-5 vetebral motion segement
Sacroiliac joint movement dydsfunction
Multifidus weakness as well as the typical imbalances seen with TFL problems (glute and deep abdomenal weakness)
And movement dysfunction at the foot like weak muscles in the arch and/or flat feet.

Have you had your running stride analyzed? If you are crossing over the mid line before initial contact during your stride, that's a huge contributing factor that needs to be addressed.

Hope that helps a bit.
I have an imbalance between my right and left sides that I'm sure contributed to this. So, at 49 1/2 years old I'm relearning to walk. feh
