When i run, my hip hurts ?

Question

during my run today, my hip was in pain. it was a sharp and tight pain. are there any stretches i could do? should i ice?

Answer 1

When you run your hip hurts, there could be many reasons for this and each case is different. first, do you mean run to compete or run to stay in shape. The level and intervals of running are different between the two. You may have hurt yourself and did not give proper time to heal; everytime you run it aggrivates the injury. 

Ice yourself few times a week

Stretch yourself few times a week also

Wear better shoes that support your landing better

if you are doing it for health, try swiming instead of running
