Sorry for the lack of detail....that was my first post on the forum. I read the sticky after I posted. So here goes:

1. When did the pain begin? about 4 years ago. I noticed after running but I think it may have resulted from a pull in my hip I suffered while contorting to clean out my van. After the pull it felt like my right hip was somewhat elevated for a couple of days. It went away, but it was not long after that that I got pain from running.

I stopped running as a result...but now if I run it comes back. I will sometimes bother me doing squats or deadlifts, but typically only if I get heavy.

3. Where, anatomically, is the pain? the right hip girdle, but it is usually localized in the upper part of my glute and sometimes can travel over to the side (I think that is the gl. medius).

I do notice that after the exercises that aggravate my right hammy will be tight as well.

4. What does the pain feel like? Sharp? Dull? Aching? Stabbing? Shooting? It is usually soreness and aching, but it feels more muscular than joint related.

5. Is the pain constant, or intermittent, or only on certain motions?

constant when it begins but then can be intermittant if I stand for long periods.

7. What, if anything, makes your pain better? rest..and I will try to massage the area...sometimes stretching can help somewhat.

9. What things could you do before, that you cannot do now because of your injury? my ROM in my squats or hip area don't seem limited.

10. What is your main concern regarding the pain and its consequences? it's so chronic and can delay training at times.

12. Is your pain getting worse over time? And if so, how much worse over what time period? it will get worse if I don't provide sufficient rest days between training.

If I were to guess at what is happening based on recent reading...it would not surprise me if I had a muscle imbalance in my hip. I have thought about hitting a four week program where I do unilateral works for my legs. I would not doubt if I have some type of pelvic tilt discrepancy.
