    Thanks, its just a small issue really, and not as bad as some of the issues others experience. But, i can manage full sports now, ie. Suash at a good level, an hour or 2 game is no problem. Nor is running or long swims.

    Do you still run regularly (how far and how often), and how do your hips feel after this. I have also returned to sport, squash, running swimming etc.
