Hello ST...formerly running2far but don't use the old email and couldn't remember password.

I had hip labrum repair and bone shaving in October of 2016 and for the most part am recovered (still have a flare up here and there) but the last year or so my knee (same side as hip surgery) has really started driving me crazy. I don't experience acute pain during running at all, but the two or three days after running (any distance) I will experience an uncomfortable popping/snapping type sensation when bending my knee (cycling and putting on pants as an example) and the knee (mainly soft tissue in back) will be slight sore and sometimes so stiff in the morning I can bend it at all (rare).
The popping feels 'inside the knee' and also near the ITB band. So two places. It freaks me out to the point I just stopped running/cycling.

Anyone experience this? I will be getting an MRI at some point this summer/fall in the hopes of returning to a casual runner (retired from racing).


thanks all!

PS - If you saw a couple of dudes in rompers and wigs at IM Boulder that was me!
