About 6 months ago, I decided to intensify my training and pushed myself pretty hard for a week at a faster pace than normal.
After about 7 days I started to get a pain in my right hip. I pushed myself through to the end of the run and just figured I'd tweaked it and a bit of RICE would sort it out.
That was 6 months ago and the pain is still there, dull but persistent and noticeable when I either stretch my hip out or walk any distance.
I could go see my GP but trying to get any kind of scan for non-urgent injuries will take months (5 the last time I needed one). I could visit our local minor injuries clinic but given I did this 6 months ago, I'm not sure they'll see me. I could just continue to RICE it and hope that time is a healer but I'm getting fat as any type of exercise seems to aggrevate it.
I'm at a bit of a loss with this so any advice on what it is, what caused it, why it won't go away or what I should do about it is appreciated.

But if you're insistent on getting the scan, why not ask now? I mean, it's been 6 months.
Results are as follows
Hip Joints are normal, no significant effusion or synovitis, no obvious labral tear or traumatic avulsion, mild ileo psoas tendinitis bilaterally, Si joint and symphysis pubis is normal,
bilateral gluteus medius tendopathy, changes in throchteric burial thickening left is worse than right.
Have seen prof Damian Griffin who is supposed to be one of the better hip and groin guys in the UK, He has basically told be me there is no specifc injury and to continue physio.
And ideas from anyone? pain has been lingering for best part of 9 months now!
