So I broke my ankle last April/May running (stepped in a wonderful Chicago pothole and snap), did the PT, etc. and got back to running in late July/early August. The deeper I get into my training the more my hip (on the side of the break) is bothering me… It is usually tight so I stretch it as much as possible and have been trying to do strength training exercises on it as well. Now after long runs it is causing my IT Band to get really tight and inflamed in the hip area. Anyone else ever experience issues like this post a leg break? How long did it take you to finally get back to normal strength?

I wrecked a motorcycle in 09 and messed up my left knee and left side of my body. Since then I fight with ITB on my right side. The more volume I get the more PT exercises I have to do, specifically glutes in the form of single leg glute bridges, hip strengthening with bands (bands around ankles and step outwards), single leg deadlifts, hipe hike’s etc
For me no amount of stretching and rolling will solve the problem. I still do it and it feels good etc but I have to hit the glute strength to get the problems to go away or stay at bay
I have the same problem, but think it’s largely due to heal striking, weak hips, and was simply made worse by a bike crash where I landed on my hip. Last year it flared into a serious injury in my inner thigh from overcompensating that required that I stop running for 3 months + a bunch of PT. I’ve found I’ve been able to manage it through strengthening the area, but no matter what I do, if I’m in a big training block, it will invariably flare up.
