Insert Explitive Of Choice Here....

Well, what can I say?  My hip is XXXX killing me?  Back in September, I foolishly tried to make up for slacking in my half marathon training by running 9 miles after never running more than 6.  Later that day, my hip hurt with every step.  I have tried to run with pain on and off since.  I was taking two alieve pills each morning so I could run.  That was fine with just a little knee twinge now and then but didn't really compensate for whatever was wrong with my hip.  I didn't see a doctor about, or I did , I just got distracted by other problems that I thought was causing it.  The pain would radiate into lower abdominal area which felt like a pain in my ovary.  So I went to see my gyno because I really thought something was wrong with my lady parts.  He did an ultrasound and found something wrong with my other ovary and I had to have that removed.  Well, that set my exercise plan back enough that I thought I gave my self time to heal.  I started running only occasionally after the first of the year.  Lately I have been trying to run more and guess what's back?  Excrutiating hip pain that is radiating into my abdominal area again!!  So, instead of throughing years of medical science out the window and diagnosing myself by reading running blogs on the internet, I'm going next week for a full physical.  And my weight is up quite a bit because I have been 1. not exercising as intenly as I had been.  2. comforting myself with food and last but most important 3.  ignoring the problem.  Well, XXXX!!
