Hi all, Started my challenge about 8 weeks ago and when I did my first interval HIIT on the treadmill I did the walk jog sprint combo for a while. I noticed my hip was hurting after the first few days and thought it would go away. Tues night I was watching the biggest losser. One of the contestants has a stress fracture in the hip. My hip pain has not gone a way in 8 weeks I am making a dr's appt just to make sure that isn't what I have.. Lets pray its not cause I dont want to have to slow down my progress....Ugh ...

well today is the day I go to the dr at 2:45

How did it go? What did they say?

Turns out its just bursitis. I have to take 8 Advil a day 4 in the morning and 4 at night. Kinda hurts my tummy otherwise I can to in for a shot. Thanks for asking..

Thats great! Better than the alternative!! You might want to make sure after you work out to get a good stretch in, especially the hip flexor...I have problems with mine off and on and when I neglect my stretching it really acts up!

Glad it wasn't more serious. I am about six weeks post op of a full hip replacement. I am just 35. When I first went to the dr. he thought it was bursitus but after two rounds of steroids and a cortizone shot they done a mri and it turned out I have avascular necrosis. My hip had lost blood flow. There was no explanation for it. I am up on a cane now and started my 18 week challenge today. I ended up gaining about 30 lbs during this whole thing so now time to get back to life.
