Left hip in pain while sprinting.

Hello, I've encountered a problem a bout a week and a half ago, where my hip bone hurts when I try sprinting. I don't really know how it happened, but I was at track practice, and my 4x1 team was practicing, and after about the 3rd full speed one, my hip was killing me to the point where I was hobbling. I rested it for about a week, and I can jog fine now without any pain, but right when I start sprinting, it kills me. I'm part of the A team 4x1, so they really need me and I can't be hurt. Please help.
 
Do you have anyone that helps your team? A physio, chiro, or a team doc? Is there anyone that your coach refers to for treatment? You should be seeking help from a professional. No one online can actually assess the area to figure out what's wrong, so you won't be able to get help on a forum. You need to get it checked out!
 
This is always hard for us to give any advice when we unable to find out the route of pain. There are several reasons of hip pain. That’s why it is very important to identify the cause of your hip pain. To me the cause of your pain may be tendon strain. When we start activities repeatedly then it can put stain on the muscles, tendons, and ligaments that support the hips. When these structures become inflamed from overuse, they can cause pain and prevent the hip from functioning normally.

There could be some reasons also like:
1. Tight hip flexors
2. Hip rotators
3. Hamstrings

Addressing these symptoms early with the proper hip exercises allows you to feel stronger and healthier. If the cause of your hip pain would any of the reason those mentioned above then I can share some tips with you. Those are very helpful exercise for hip pain:

• Relax on your left side and stack your hips by contracting your core. Rest your head in your hand and keep both your legs straight. Exhale, and lift your right leg as high as comfortable. Inhale and return to the start. Perform a set of 10 repetitions, and then switch sides. Complete 3 sets on each leg.

• Relax on your back with your right leg extended, left leg bent and the bottom of your left foot on the floor. Slowly raise your right leg and return to the starting position. Complete 3 sets of 10 repetitions on each leg.

• Begin on your back with knees bent and the bottoms of your feet on the floor hip width apart. Contract your abdominals, exhale and lift your hips upward off of the floor. Press your heels into the floor. Inhale and return to the start position. Perform 3 sets of 10 repetitions.

• Begin on all fours with your back in a neutral position and your core engaged. Keep your right knee on the floor and extend your left leg with your toes pointing toward the floor. Lift and lower your left leg for a total of 10 repetitions. Return to the start and repeat with your right leg. Complete a total of 3 sets for each side.

• Relax on your right side with your hips and knees bent and stacked together. Rest your head in your hand. Lift your top knee towards the ceiling, keep your feet together and slowly lower to the start. Perform 3 sets of 8 repetitions on each side.

All of those are proven. Just practice those with cautious. If you do not get result with 2 to 3 weeks then it’s time to make an appointment with your doc.
