Right leg hurts after running

[Shnazzyshot]

After every run, my left leg feels absolutely fine (sometimes as if I've not even ran) but my right leg aches loads! Especially around the hip, knee and foot.

I always warm up and stretch loads. It's quite annoying. Any ideas why it's only my right leg?

Do you run along a road in one direction only, so the camber means you always have one leg slightly higher than the other? That is one possibility, easily tested. Although if it is the case, your running shoes might be wearing unequally too, so new shoes might be needed. (In which case either see a sports physio first, or at least go to a proper running shoe shop and get your gait assessed and explain your issues.)

Failing that I'd see a sports physio at a first port of call. You might overpronate or something in your right foot, which will then cause pain in the joints above, or your pelvis might be slightly out of place. There might be something you could do, like exercises, or you might need to see a podiatrist and get orthotic soles made.

Thank you that was really helpful. A few options for me to look into. I run all different routes and sometimes go back the way I came so I don't think it's because of that. I will look into sport physio, thank you. How much do they cost roughly?

Depends where you are, but probably about £40-£50 a session, possibly slightly more for the first session because that involves a longer assessment. It's worth looking for a physio who is keen on sport's injuries (it will usually list it as an interest or specialism), rather than a physio who specialises in say, hands, or getting older people walking again.

It's worth it, with the symptoms you describe. Unfortunately there's little chance of getting an appt with an NHS physio, and also they tend to stop treating when you are able to walk around (which you are), rather than getting you running pain free, which is seen as a luxury.
