I read my previous post and realized how ridiculous this "recovery" or NON-recovery has been.  To give you an update, the hip is no better, it's worse actually.  I actually attempted a little run a couple weeks ago which lasted 5 whole minutes and ended with me hobbling home.  Needless to say, the new orthotics and shoes have not done the trick.  I'll be the first to admit, I barely iced this injury and only took a few Advil.  When they didn't provide any relief whatsoever, I decided it was time to buck up and see a specialist.  My breaking point was last weekend when my husband and I took a trip with friends to Napa and I couldn't run AT ALL.  Normally, my suitcase ALWAYS has my running gear packed when I take a trip so it broke my heart not to run, especially since the weather was spectacular there.  Every morning, we would go down to the hotel for breakfast and would see our friends coming in from a brisk run.  It was too much for me to bear, and I ended up taking my breakfast in my room.  I saw a specialist last week and had an MRI yesterday.  I will keep you posted on my progress.  Say a prayer that it's nothing serious and an easy fix!
