My glutials are really hurting from running, please back?
Hi there, I am 14 and male and do a lot of running for a few months immediately and have been OK up till last week. I run for a long run every tuesday with my local athletics club (about 7.5 miles or so) and I havn't had any problems with this till after the tuesday run finishing week. It was that night I was within bed and laying on my right side (where it hurts) and it was just so sore and I could't lay like that, or lay flat and when I got up it was sensitive and I was limping around. On wednesday it was still hurting till I started walking on it and by the end of the daylight it was Ok again.
I went camping on thursday and slept on my right side and it be really painful again especially in the morning. I was limping alot but after a few hours of walking the misery went. The same happened on saturday and after a few hours the pain go.
After that I had no problems till today (wednesday) and last night. I go running again witht the club about the same distance and was fine during that and within the evening. It was until last night that my bum really started hurting again and I be rolling around and squirming all night and now its the mornign and it still hurts even when I'm not lay on it and when I stand up. It kind of feels like my in one piece bum is cramped up. My leg doesn't hurt at all and I have tried some stretches for the glutials but they seem to be target the wrong area (lower down)
Can someone please tell me the cause of this headache and what to do about it. Thanks.
By the way, I have made somewhat diagram showing where it hurts (marked with a red circle) and where the stretches I did seem to be to be targeting (black circle):

Answers:
ok by the black circle, im assuming you have been doing piriformis stretches, placing the ankle of one leg on the knees of the other leg and pulling the knee towards your chest? am i right? if so, try the same stretch but actually cross your legs approaching a girl would and do it, make sense? should hit ya higher. or lay on the edge of your bed on the departed side, take your right leg behind you and let it dangle in attendance do 10 reps with a 10 second hold. also, lay flat on your back, bend right knee up, moved out leg straight, rotate your hips over to the left and keep your right knee bent, you can use your hand to give u a better stretch. 10 reps with 10 second hold. another, lay flat on your back and throw your legs up over your leader. 10 reps with 10 second hold. let me know how these feel and are going. i be aware of like its not really your glutes, maybe more of a combo of low back and hip or conceivably you need to go to a chiropractor as ur hip may be out of alignment.
