Hi doctor,I am a regular runner and have recently been trying out a new programme running five days per week, with lots of gentle short runs. I have had a few running related injuries in the past year. I got shin splints and peroneal tendonitis on the outside of my left foot for several months,  last year. I had physiotherapy for the tendonitis. The physiotherapist discovered that my left hip flexor is weak and the hamstring is too tight on that side, which was causing the foot issues.Last weekend, I seem to have pulled a muscle in my left hip. I did a steep trail run and feel like it was on the downhill that I triggered the injury. It was hurting when I tilted my pelvis forwards. I tried swimming, but the side-to-side tilt of the pelvis caused little sharp pains what felt like inside my pelvis. The sharp pain has now gone, but all of the muscles in my lower back, mainly on the left, but also on the right are now tensing up causing me discomfort. Any ideas about this? I have done a bit of self-diagnosis and it sounds like one of the muscles that do balancing on the hip.
