Hello everyone,
Went to my physio (last Monday) for ITB soreness in right knee.  He did his work and all was well.  Did a slow 5k run (read 7 min K's) on Wednesday and all was well.  At work Thursday and all good.  Got up from my chair @ 5:00pm took three steps and then bingo extreme pain in right hip.  It felt like the joint on the outside of hip however after about 5 mins pain migrated about 100mm south into muscle.  I have found that so long as I keep my leg straight there is no pain.  So sleeping on hip is OK - no pain in the morning.  While I am sitting there is no pain.  When I stand there is no pain.  When I walk then the pain begins.  I can run and there is no pain.  After I have been moving around for about 1 to 2 hours the pain is gone - it slowly fades.  Heat rub creams have no effect.  Stretching doesn't help.  It is this sitting down business.  Am I doomed to stand the rest of my life??  I visited my physio on Friday and he is stumped.  He thought it could be three or four things but I do not have the other symptomatology.  Anyone got any ideas??
Cheers
Clark
