Bursitis in hip...help

[J3nn78]

I have had a dull ache in my hip for a while. It has been manageable until yesterday. Went out for a 13 mile run and can barely walk today. The route we took was slightly more off camber than usual. Everything I have looked up leads me to believe this is bursitis.
Anyone here have any experience or advice? I am in training for Dopey and so scared this will be an impassable obstacle.
I just ordered a trigger point foam roller...hoping that helps.

The hip is a remarkably complex area of the body. I would suggest taking NSAIDs and call a doc this week. I have found that self diagnosis of the area next to impossible. Honestly, the doc may come back with an itis of some sort but they may also shoot a radiograph of the area to confirm no hard tissue issue. Your goal for the visit is to explain your goals and get a script for PT so you are back on the road in as little time as possible.

Another vote to go to a doctor.

About 6 years ago, when I started up running, I thought I had a torn rotator cuff by everything I looked up. I found out it's actually bursitits in my shoulder. The doctor gave me various stretching and strengthening exercises to do and it's completely managable. And flares up when running more than 10 miles, so I'm out there doing arm stretching in the middle of races!

I realize the shoulder is nothing compared to the hip though. Hopefully it's something you can work with and won't get in the way of training. But a doctor is the only one who can truly help you with this. Good luck!

Thanks
I plan on going to the doctor...dont worry.
My ortho is all too familiar with me.
