How To Treat Persistant Hip Pain Caused By An Hamstring Injury?
I am a trail runner with a hamstring injury about 6 months ago. Seemed to get better with rest, but I have started running again (20 miles/wk) and have hip pain right at my iliac crest along with noticable hamstring weakness on the same side. I also have a hard time sleeping on that side after a run day. I stretch everyday and am quite flexible, however this nagging hip pain does not want to go away at most any time of the day. Even sitting here typing this inquiry.

Hi,
Consult an orthopedician and get an MRI scan done. As of now, you can continue analgesics like Gabapentin or Tramadol for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
