Thank you Karen and Yarok for your help and great advice!! Its very much appreciated!!

I know I tore the left glute bc I had an MRI, but that one is now fine and am feeling the right side.

Posture - I am 1m83 (6ft) 59 kg. I have VERY high arches in my feet, I have been told by my chiro that one of my hips is slightly rotating forward. back posture is sort of normal, I have a bit of an arched back, but nothing shocking - never had any back problem! Oh I wear orthototics/insoles when I run. I have been video taped running in a lab and they told me that when my foot touches the ground I land on the outside and then roll to the inside which is why I had achilles problems (but I'm not sure if I agree with that theory).

My hips are kind of flexible, apart from the fact that they are slightly rotated, I don't know what else to say about it...

Since feeling the pain on thursday I did nothing till yesterday (so 3 days) and did a easy 30 min run and today I am feeling pain on the bone again!!!

I hope all this info helps, and thank you so much for taking the time to help!

In the 3 days that you didn't do anything, did you feel any pain?

Well on thursday after I felt the pain move from the bone area to the muscle I stopped the workout and then did nothing until yesterday. I still felt it on friday and a bit on sunday, but monday and yesterday (before I ran) it was feeling fine, and I could only feel it a bit at the top by the bone. Today I don't feel the glute muscle itself, but again at the top near the bone. However I know that if I would try to accelerate on todays run or try and do strides it would go down to the glute.

This is exactly the same feeling I had before I tore the left side. At first I thought that it was my hip bone (which sort of feels bruised) but then on an easy run I felt a pop in my glute and that was that.

Thanks again for your help
