Waldo   96 #13 Posted January 19, 2020 Thanks all.  So, I applied some Voltarol last night, and used a hot water bottle at times for heat. Woke up this morning and the pain has practically all gone, and mobility is good.  Just hope it was muscular, and not something likely to keep coming back. Didn’t run today, just went for a short walk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Waldo   96 #16 Posted January 20, 2020 Thank you Lex Luther, Pattricia, Mr Fisk, everyone.  I did a short run this morning, and it doesn't seem to have had any adverse effect. I can still feel there's something not quite right though. Probably wise to not push it, just do some easy pace shorter runs for a while. May go for a few swims as well, loosen up etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Remember, you can sleep yourself better.! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

May take you a few weeks to get back to normal if it's a gluteal strain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
petemcewan   27 #19 Posted January 20, 2020 If it last any length of time,and doesn't yield to any of the remedies written on here. It's not my intention to alarm you,but get yourself along to your GP-and insist on an appointment soon. Get a thorough examination of the area. Definitely don't Google it. Get a diagnosis from you GP. Hope everything turns out OK . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
