I have bad hip pain and it is unknown at this time what is causing it (I still have to get the xray, doing that tomorrow). I love to run but running makes the pain worse. I don't feel any pain while I am running but afterwards when the leg is at rest it hurts pretty bad. But, it hurts whether I run or not so what can it hurt right?

I just don't know what to do.....should I stop running? It would really crush me if I had to stop running. It helps to clear my mind and energize me for the day. And I feel better about myself when I run.
