Hello all,
Looking for some input, suggestions.
I am a 53 year old runner and had my BHR surgery 11-5-2013 by Dr. Brooks and spent the first year basically doing low impact type recovery...Pilates, Yoga, etc. A year and one week after my surgery, I ran/walked a 50k and have run several marathons, 50ks and even a 50 mile trail race in March '16. Last October I even ran a Boston qualifying time at the Chicago marathon.
My new BHR has been awesome! I LOVE IT! Yes it gets tired sometimes, mostly when I am walking around a mall, I have not had issues while running....well that is until about a month ago when I started to develop an issue where my groin and hip area starts to tighten up during my runs and I have to stop. Now I can only run 1-3 miles before my groin, hip and left leg tighten up.
Doctor visits and x-rays show no issues. Literally ran 20 miles one weekend and couldn't run 13 the next. Problem started that week while running on trail conditions that were very muddy and unstable, and so I am hoping it is just muscle strain problem, but wondering is anyone has had similar issue and fixed it?
Current plan is rest, some PT, lots of stretching and continued strength training, but I am going crazy without the running. Dr. Brooks PT said she sees nothing wrong and suggested psoas issue, but I am not having back issues.
Thanks
