Hey, I'm sixteen years old, am a guy, and run cross country. We just started practices about a month ago. I've been having a lot of problems with my right hip, especially when I try and lift my leg much higher than a few inches when I'm running. I've also recently been diagnosed with a minor case of scoliosis. I was wondering if anyone has had the same hip pain that I've been having, and if so, what did you do about it? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Never experienced anything like it, but you really should get it checked out by a doctor or a physio. Make sure you don't exacerbate it.

*Sigh* See, now I have to find a dictionary to find out what exacerbate means. And I definitely misread it the first time. And I am seeing a Dr. in a week about my scoliosis. I think I'll ask him about my hip. He's a specialist on backs, though, so I'm not sure how much it'll help.

Thank you very much. I knew it was something like that...
