Thigh pain most days - anything to do with running?

Hi.

I have an annoying pain in my thigh most of the time during most days.

When I walk, I kind of hobble as it's a bit painful when I put weight on it.

I have had it about 3 to 4 weeks now.

Is it anything to do with running?

I took up running a wee while ago and initially I had pain in my heels but that went away after a while.

Now I have thigh pain.

I stretch then go for a run and it’s sore every time I land on my right side and I run like I’m hobbling. After 5 mins it seems to get better then disappear.

Once I stop, it’s sore again and I hobble again.

Sometimes it feels like I can’t put any weight on it.

After a couple of days, it gets a wee bit better and I do the same again.

Until today that was.

Went out this morning and I only got half a mile in and had to stop 3 or 4 times to stretch off.

Had to turn back, it was really painful.

It’s not going away, which is annoying.

I was just doing the typical bloke thing and ignoring it and hoping it would go away.

Any ideas?

    Do you do warm up exercises before you run?

    Or it sounds like you pulled your muscle.

    I do t know. But it won't hurt for you to have it checked out with your GP.😀

      I do quick warm up yeah, maybe not as long as I should but I've never had a problem before.

      I am getting on a bit in age though!
