Pain Question

I had hip bursitis once, bad enough that it affected my stride.

I took 5 days off and took 800 mg per day of ibuprufen (on doc's orders).

That fixed it. I did a little biking during the days I didn't run.

It never revisited.

to get back on my bike but I am not looking forward to that initial seat

if you know what I mean... But is that a viable solution to ease the hip
pain or
would that just make it worse?
I have been running for about 9 months, mainly for weight loss

Your best bet is to see an orthopedic physical therapist to get a correct
picture on what exactly is going on. A poor diagnosis leads to poor
treatment.

A PT can not only help with problem-solving and treating it, but he/she can
offer preventative education on how to avoid chronicity with the painful
hip. Good luck.
