Hi there.

I am new to this forum so many apologies if I post this is the wrong place.

I have a physiotherapy question regarding an injury of my own if anyone could please offer some advice?

I've recently starting running regularly, increasing both my speed and distance.

On Monday I felt a bit of a pain in my right thigh but I was able to run a 6 mile course as comfortable as normal. On Tuesday the pain was still there but I managed to run 5 miles without any discomfort.

Today, Wednesday, the pain is worse.

When I stand from having been seated for any length of time, I am unable to put my whole weight onto my right leg with a pain in the centre of my thigh, running from top to bottom.

After about ten seconds of limping / walking, I am then able to walk as normal.

I would like to know the best way to treat this please. Should I apply an ice pack or a hot water bottle (or alternate the both as suggested by a work colleague)?

I am scheduled to run 12 miles in around 24 hours but obviously full rehabilitation is of paramount importance to me.

Your comments appreciated in advance.

Steven.
