What could be causing hip pain when I go running?

Hip pain could be several different things,including muscular tightness. After a year of inactivity, when I began walk/running again, I had hip pain because my hip flexors were so tight. Physical therapy and stretching helped a lot!

Hip pain can be caused by bursitis, which is an inflammation of the fluid sacs that cushion joints. Repeated movements and pressures can aggravate the bursa found in hip joints, causing slight pain while running.

Hip pain can also be a sign of a stress fracture. I increased my mileage by more than the suggested 10% and ended up on crutches for 8 weeks!
