Dear Friends,
I had my right hip resurfaced by Dr Gross on April 9, 2018. I was hoping to begin slowly running after 6 months but unfortunately I am not able to do so yet. I have no joint pain and my range of motion is excellent however when I begin running, after 3-4 minutes at a relaxed pace, I begin to experience a dull ache on the outside of my hip which sometimes radiates down along my IT band and at other times radiates around my groin area. I have no pain when walking only when beginning to run. Anyone else experience this? If so, any suggestions for exercises that I can do to work on strengthening the hip to allow me to run? Thanks!

My suggestion is to give it more time.
Have you tried the usual fixes? ART/myofasial massage? Consulted with a good PT?
Was there anything unusual about this hip?
Thanks Blinky! I have not tried those but I will.
According to Dr Gross the hip was normal just worn out.
I will take more time although it's hard. Just wanted a bit of reassurance that it's normal to not be running yet.
