me too :)
I'm a PT and love treating hip issues in my athletes, probably because I've had so many of my own issues and I feel like through my suffering, I've learned so much more about diagnosis and treatment. My racing was ended last year with a lesser trochanter stress fracture. initial symptoms were nearly identical to a hip flexor tendonitis and I didn't have any positive clinical signs until almost a month into the injury (and two races on top of it. oops.) through a lot of patience and therapy I've gotten myself back but it really made my hip joint different and I struggle with a bit of impingement and still have some weakness. I saw a women's health therapist and I highly recommend seeing one for those with chronic hip injuries. They are able to treat the pelvic floor and deep hip rotators internally and (even though it sounds disgusting) I wouldn't be running anymore without this intervention. It was the key to my recovery and I think a lot of female athletes have pelvic floor inhibition from fascial restrictions around the deep hip muscles (obtruator, gemellus etc....)
