Anyone ever suffered from hip bursitis? I think I might have this and it's completely ruined my progress... Had got myself down to 19m14 for 5k (pretty much the maximum distance I want to do, bar the odd "endurance" run of 10k or so) but at the moment I'm getting hip pain every time I run, and even a bit afterwards. It almost feels as if my hip is slightly burning or misshapen fit for the socket, but only once every so often not all the time. Some googling has led me to think it's hip bursitis - I'm going to go to the docs, but anyone any ideas on how long I could be sidelined for? Absolutely gutted.
I've only ever had knee & elbow bursitis but when I had it in my knee I was told that bursitis is usually a symptom of a bigger issue & while each occurrence can be treated with R.I.C.E. if the underlying cause isn't treated it would most likely keep happening.
