Hip/lower back pains while running?

hi im 16 and currently in track

my hip pains started while i was running the curve for the 200 and it was my inside(left) hip started hurting and after awhile running with this at first small pain i noticed it getting worst as i competed in meets and it hurts alot right above my left butt and lower back
i also noticed a small bulge of bone below my lower back that sticks out

pain gets worst as i slouch while sitting or bend over to tie my shoes

and soon after awhile my right one started hurting this one on the front and the side as well as the back area but the pain wasnt as intense as the left side

its been about 2 months with my hips messed up
is this something i should get checked or do u think it will heal up after couple weeks of rest?

does anyone what kind of injury this is and if it is serious?

It's obviously impossible to make an accurate diagnosis from the little bit of information you offered. However, my best clinical judgement is iliotibial band syndrome. It is a common injury of the lateral aspect of the knee particularly in runners, cyclists and endurance sports. It is regarded as a friction syndrome where the iliotibial band rubs against (and 'rolls over') the lateral femoral epicondyle (an outside part of the knee). The iliotibial band is a thickened part of the tissue on the outside portion of your thigh, from the hip down to just below the knee. Running on a curve, especially a banked curve (even slightly banked) causes the biomechanics of the leg to stretch that outer portion. Commonly, improper shoes can contribute. It is not a serious injury and will usually resolve with rest. To stay in shape, you can still run, but only at about 50% effort and on flat, straight runs. There are stretches you can start to do once the inflammation and pain has subsided. Here's a website that shows a good stretch.

This is only one of the possible problems, but very common considering your history of running on curves on the track. A good chiropractor or sports physician should be able to properly diagnose your particular situation.
Hope that helps!

Yes Mike, this is something that you should get checked immediately, preferably by a doctor specializing in sports medicine. The school can recommend a specialist. It sounds like a back injury and it can be serious. I hope that you get great treatment and are pain free soon.
