Hip pain is no fun for anyone, especially those of us who love to hike and run. But it doesn’t always mean you’re dealing with an injury, and as I found out, sometimes there’s an easy fix.
A couple of years ago, I developed muscle pain in my outer hip, a few inches above the hip joint. It was always worse after a run. It improved if I took a break from my running shoes for a bit. I tried everything to fix it: massage, foam rolling and endless stretching. Nothing helped.
