After getting over an injury on both legs(the back) i now have an injury on my left leg. Its located in the hip area and its bloody annoying when running. I do a large right leg stride the a little left leg (making me look stupid and slowing me down).Its only when im running and about 10 minutes after it others me. I do stretch up and down properly for 15 minutes working the entire body 2 times over each time. Im just looking for advice on how to speed recovery as my prmc is 10th june. Im was told not to use deepheat before and wandering if the same is true here. Ive applied a 'tube-i-grip' and have not taken any pills etc. I dont want to put of my prmc unless i still feel the same the friday before i go. IF however i have the same pain but not as much im going to go down and take some pain killers. Which is also another question which tablets should i take (if any)??
It started last week so i ran 5 miles on monday then rested tues and wed and the pain is still there. Im going to rest from now till monday stretching multiple times each day to see if it helps.Advice would be welcome.

Sorry I can't offer any advice with regard to your injury, there are probably far more qualified people on here who will though.
My lad Sam has his PRMC next week and has picked up an injury in his left calf. The law of sod. He noticed the pain last weekend and it hurts when he runs. The dilemma is now whether to rest it, postpone his PRMC and then regain his current fitness level, perhaps a month in total, or go next week.
He can still run on it, averaging 6 minute miles and jog all day, sprinting is also OK.
My fatherly advice to Sam - go next week, as he will no doubt pick up a lot of other knocks, aches, bruises and pain when he goes through the PRMC and the current leg problems will become minor in comparison.
He is reducing his training schedule in readiness for next week and will just do a few 'light' jogs and swims over the weekend, so hopefuly it will not trouble him to much.
Apologies for mixing Sam's woes in amongst your own problems, but the guru's will no doubt provide some interesting guidance on both.
Good luck with your training.

Keep your fitness by doing other excercises that will not strain your hip.
Cycling
Swimming
This will allow you to retain most of your current fitness level whilst also allowing your injury more freedom do heal.
Injury pain, (rather than breathing out of your a+$e bottomfield pain)
is your bodys way of telling you something is wrong.
Try to rest it as much as possible.
Good luck to you (and Sam)

Its hard to say what the problem could be as you dont give much details.
Best advice will to be up your stretching routine to 2-3 times a day, be gentle and hold it for a long duration e.g. 1-2 mnutes (be sure to warm up).
Only undertake activities that don't aggrevate the problem e.g. cycling e.t.c.
If the pain is quite sharp then its quite possibly muscular damage, but if its more of a painful ache could quite possibly be caused by tightness/tension in a particular muscle.
Best advice if you've got the money is go see a physiotherapist or even better a sports therapist/sports masseur. Will prob cost you about 20 -odd quid but I use them for my sports injuries and always sort it

Thanks to all for the support.
With regard to contacting the AFCO, Sam gave them a call yesterday and explained his current leg niggle, they were brilliant. Bottom line was give them a call if he was going to postpone - not an issue even if it was on the day of travelling and it would not be a problem, alternative dates would be booked when he was ready. Very helpfull and understanding, as long as they are aware of what is happening and don't percieve you couldn't be arsed to turn up they are happy.
So now it is basically down to Sam, I think he will still go next week mainly because he is a bit fed up with the training, as you guys know better than me, training on your own for months is a real drag.
Cronkilla - your injury seems worse than Sam's, I would heed the advice about the physio, good luck anyway mate.
