A couple of weeks ago I got a dull ache in my hip, not too bad so carried on and ran the next few days as normal in a bit of discomfort. took a few days easy and it seemed to ease off then did a hilly marathon where it was no worse during
Since then it seems to have got worse though. I have hardly run this week which is unlike me. After a rest day it seemed a bit better so I ran and that set it off again
When I do the ITB stretch I feel it in my ITB/ hip, that is def tight but improving as I stretch, Am doing foam roller and have and a couple of massages where he has worked on my glute/TFL/ITB, my ITB does have a few lumpy bits
Does this sound like hip ITB or could it be something else? Is there anything else I can be doing? I can't get to see the physio til thursday
Thanks

Is fine to lie on it and don't feel anything when I prod
When I am sitting or on the cross trainer I don't feel it but I do when walkng and running. Although today' , after 2 rest days I am not feeling it walking
This sounds much more like a functional type of issue ie when you run you cause an issue, as your function's not great but when you rest it gets better as the structure improves.
You need to let someone have a look at the way you run. Keep on with what you're doing - its good first aid, but maybe not the potential game changer...

She said it is weak glutes causing tight itb
Need to foam roller and do glute exercises
yes I am and yes they ache! Have loads of glutes stuff to do with a theraband!
Going back to the pelvis thing sezz, I think that was checked as she watched me squating badly on one leg
I'm a Bowen Technique practitioner and when I see runners I'll do some work on their pelvis (most of us have some misalignment) and also sacrum. Generally sorts the problem.
