    During track I was dealing with an odd injury that hurt right on my left hipbone. Never REALLY started to hurt until the last couple weeks of the season, and my coach had me not take time off until after it was over.

    This is the third week I've been biking, went out for a 20 minute run this morning. Everything felt fine and good until maybe the last minute my hipbone/very top of quads area had a little tightness. Over the span of 10 minutes the area got increasingly tight though not exactly painful. I did my best to try to stretch it and then iced it. Basically, if I'm sitting down and shift my upper body to the right, that area on my left feels majorly tight

    Anybody know what this is? I also don't know how stretch or strengthen the area. Any help would be appreciated.

    Oh, that reminds me of what I think started the pain. I was longboarding, got speed wobbles and fell down on my hip i guess. I ripped open all my skin on the muscle that goes out above your hipbone but i think most of the impact was on my hip area. At first I was really sore and that area was a bit swollen. Then it felt fine after a couple days. Not sure exactly when the pain started but it took about 2-3 weeks before I actually started to give attention to it since it kept hurting a little bit more each day. So I was running with it for about 5 weeks.

    And thanks for the reply, I know sitting down shortens that area, and I'll try not sitting down so much but i don't think that's really the problem.

    You should go see a doctor obviously but first do alot of body stretches. I had nerve pain once because I foolishly fell asleep in a v-sit position. Hope you feel better.

    what does the doctor do? I know i should but i can't right now because i'm a few states away from my home. Would going to the doctor guarantee healing?

    Well you could get x-rayed or something to see if you injured yourself to the point where surgery is necessary. An old friend of mine was taking his sled dogs out for a run one time and he got into an accident with them somehow. He ended up tearing something in his leg and never got it checked. This was over ten years ago. He still has pain because of it but choses to live with it becuase the medical bills would probably be something outrageous.

    bone or muscle makes a big difference.

    nothing guarantees healing, but mri will help diagnose

    The doc might diagnose the problem, so you don't make it worse. I'll say it's the Iliopsoas. Take two Flintstones, and go now.

    Could be a labral tear. If so you're screwed sorry to say. I've got one and haven't run in 10 months. Probably never will again. The doc wont do surgery and they dont heal on their own. At best they can become asymptomatic but that's wishful thinking. Get an arthrogram and that should tell. But the first thing they'll want you to do is PT which is a waste of money and wont fix a tear if that's what you have. Maybe you'll get lucky and find a doc that will do the surgery but even then you're looking at months of recovery.
