I just started swimming about a month and a half ago and everything was ok until about a week ago my hip started hurting so bad that the paid echoes almost all the way through my left leg.The pain is basically right in my left buttock, on the side(not where you sit down).I find it kinda weird, I have no idea what caused it.Another funny thing is that while I am swimming I don't really feel it, but as I stop to rest standing I can hardly do it because of the pain.Also, I get that about 20 min. through my work-out.I strech before every time I swim and especially since my hip started hurting like that.Still does not help!
I thought maybe I pinched a nerve or something, because the area is not swollen, but the pain is there.
ANY SUGGESTIONS?PLEASE, HELP!
THANKS.

thanks, guys!I made a little research on the internet, and you turned out to be right: it is called sciatica, whether it is sciatic nerve or piriformis(if I understood it right).Anyways, all the sites I visited suggested chiropractor's help, which I do not know if I can afford right now.But at the same time I do not want this to get worse and I definitely want to still enjoy my swimming which is pretty annoying right now.Dunno if I should swim at all.
Do you know how I can get rid of that all by myself without doctor's help?How should I strech if that's the way out?
Thanks again.
P.S.How long can it possibly take?
