bone or referred pain when walking

[johnmarken]

Hello,
When I walk on hard surfaces for long I often get rather intense diffuse aching pain that starts in the hip joint somewhere, grows to my entire butt and eventually radiates down to the knee and even foot. It is difficult to localize exactly but can really smart! It feels like bone pain to me rather than nerve or muscle pain.  After three miles I'm pretty done. I only get it on man made hard surfaces like sidewalks, not on the trail or pedalling. Anyone with similar? Does it go away? Should I be worried about it?

I'm almost 3 years post hip resurfacing by Dr. Pritchette. Had a rather painful start due to illio psoas pain issues and weak external rotators and a desire to push it. But doing mostly well now. I am an avid cyclist and logged a 100 mile ride just 5 months post replacement and 200 miles at 6 months. Got back into hiking and alpine climbing/scrambling the following year and continuing. Some cyclocross racing this fall. So I can do a lot of pounding even with a pack on as long as its on wheels or off road. I just cant walk in town very far which is really irritating to both the dog and I.

i still sometimes get those 'aches' you mention after walking on hard surfaces.its both on the outside of my knee and in my 'butt' at the same time.if i get this i do an ITB stretch and it goes away.the other thing it tells me is that my orthotics are shot and i need a new pair.
as you say, walking off road and cycling is no problem.i'm a clunker too.
