Should I go to the doctors for this pain?!


Question: Should I go to the doctors for this pain.?
I am a runner and for the past two years I have had pain in my gluteul muscles, I believe it is my gluteus medius but I am not positive. It can get pretty bad at times. Recently my hip area started hurting but its and off and on pain and I dont know if it is connected to my gluteul pain. Any idea what could be causing this.? Should I go to the doctors.?

Answers:
Sounds more like a slightly pinched sciatic nerve than anything else.
I would suggest that you see a doctor. You may get a referral to an ortho surgeon if the pain gets really bad and starts traveling down your leg.Health Question & Answer

Yes you should since you cannot treat without a diagnosis. I often see people advising others to go to a physiotherapist or physical therapist but in this state a doctor's prescription is required by anyone that treats a condition. Health Question & Answer

Its probably hip bursitis which means the cushion that protects your hip has been aggrevated with the running. See a physiotherapist. They will do a ultrasound treatment to help decrese the swelling within the hip joint. Health Question & Answer
