Sorry you had to cancel your races. I’m nowhere near the athlete you are, but in my amateur status, rest and stretching seems to be the best remedy for TFL.

It was extremely helpful, especially the links and the dialogue. I am a semi pro ironman triathlete and have been training about 25-30 hours (running aproximately 45-50 miles a week). I had a pain in my glute med and min which then seemed to progress to the TFL. I saw a physio and sports doc who both diagnosed it as my Glut med/min tear which then led to a tear in my TFL. I had an MRI and that confirmed the state of play. I had two cortisone injections (glut and tfl) which unfortunately didn't seem to help. Due to my race being in 6 1/2 weeks I stopped running for 10 days hoping to slowly get back into it with short, slow runs. Unfortunately I could only run for 19 min at a very slow pace for me. I tried the next day to run 15 based on coach/physio's suggestion (hoping that 15 min was my threshold). Unfortunately the damage is such that I could run for 4 min. So I have officially now cancelled out of my races and am forced to let it heal and forcus on next season trying to deal with strengthening the muscles and coming back stronger and faster.

TFL pain is more concentrated in the front of the hip, not on the outer thigh. I’m not expert, but it doesn’t sound like TFL to me.

While lunging with my right leg in front and rotating my upper body to the right, I felt a pop in my left hip. The sensation ran down the outer left thigh. I can walk and body weight squat with no pain. However, any upper body rotation to the right while walking gives me pain in my left hip. Is this my TFL?

The tennis ball therapy seems to have worked for a lot of folks. Give it a try. I don't know how quickly it will work for you, but since you're so young you may see quicker results. Hope you can get back to skating soon. Hi Eva,
