hello all
im a 35 yr old male and ive recently started to experience a dull throbbing pain in my hip joint..only subsiding when rested. it first came on after a 10k i did last sunday..could the fact that im rubbish at doing any stretching have anything to do with the problem? Also even though i am still young-ish could arthritis be suspected????
thanks everyone

If it's kind of "around" the joint, it could just be muscle/connective tissue strain which, if it's only one one side, is sometimes to do with how you land on your foot. Many people are slightly wonky in their gait and muscles around the pelvis/glutes and low back start to work harder to realign you.
New shoes for your particular foot habits might help. It did for me.
If it doesn't go away after a rest, I'd say see a physio before it gets worse. They'll give you some appropriate stretches if they're needed, or even pull you around and do them for you.
Good luck with it )
