I am a 55 year old female. I am in pretty good shape. I run 6 miles 5 times a week. For a week now my right upper thigh and hip hurt. I cannot run. I can only walk now. It just came on. I did nothing to to hurt it that I know of. It is very painful just to get started to walk.
You need to understand one thing, you need not get hurt to get pain. The pain is due to chronic stress due prolonged strain. You need to take x ray of the painful are to rule out any possible fracture. Pl check if shoes are worn out.
