If you are a veteran at running, it would not be a surprise if you experience a sharp pain in the hips now and then. Hip bone pain is often associated with running, as the repetitive movements and strong impact produced during this activity can put enough stress to the hip bones, muscles, and tissues, leading to pain. If not treated properly, running-related pain can reach a much more severe level.
Then again, there is no need to fret! You can still enjoy your favorite activity without having to experience pain. You just have to be aware of the symptoms and learn how to prevent hip bone pain and injuries.
Pain in the hip bone is felt on your side, making it difficult to walk. Oftentimes, injury to the hip bone can also produce redness to the hip area and make it hard to extend the hips. Sleeping at night could also be troubling because of persistent pain in the hips. If the pain does not fade or decrease after a few days, it is best to seek professional help right away.
Prevent hip bone injuries as much as possible. Running on uneven surfaces can cause the hips to rise above the waist for long periods of time, which is a common cause of hip injuries. A track or treadmill can keep your running even and prevent any accidents from happening. Don’t forget to stretch and do warm-ups before doing the real thing. Pair this with cool-down exercises once you are done with the activity. To avoid injury, you have to be particular when stretching the hips, thighs, and lower back. If there is any pain after running, an ice to the hip area can alleviate the pain and swelling.
