deaglan169

ok so ive been excerising since may last year when i weighed 17stone i started cycling/walking more cycling and im now 13.5st which im delighted with but ive wanted a change from cycling a few days a week so i started jogging and ive found the cycling has been gettin though but i put this down to exams/stress and lack of sleep over past 2 weeks, but ive noticed when i jog only my right leg gets sore to point were i have to stop im useless at jogging so i usually jog for 2mins then walk for 5 etc but the pain got so bad today i limped home i dont know what muscle it is but it basically at my upper front thigh hip region, my left leg feels fine is it just band posture or is there damage done, hope all the above makes sense

Off to the physio with ya.

Upper thigh hip area? unusual to hear that from a runner. Never encountered it myself. Could be back related also but since im not qualified nor give any medical advice on these boards plus the fact that you wont get a definite diagnosis over the internet - OFF TO THE PHYSIO!

Hip and/or ITB band pain is one of the most common running problems.

OP get to the physio for some stretches and treatment.

ITB in most cases presesnts itself lower to the side of the knee or side of lower thigh ... generally but considering it's the femur he's talking about it could also be ITB.

Yeah - physio asap man. I had a niggily achilles and went to the physio too late - was off training for 4 months running and really scuppered my race plans. The sooner you go, the sooner itl get sorted.
