Cheers again for that....I've already ordered thru Amazon the foam roller massage. Hope to get it next week, I'll take your knowledge into account. Take care.

Thanks Max's mum....

I've been 'marpleing' online and found the symptoms of possibly the Iliotibial band inflammation? I also forgot to post earlier that my knee on that leg has also felt 'weakened'. I'm thinking of new shoes now, rest, ice and and ibruprofen....Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Morning,

I've been having a 'dull' outer thigh pain (off and on) for a few months now (about where the quad meets the hamstring muscles), well now it's gone full blown sore, like a donkey's kicked me! It sore to the touch when pushing on it too...

The other day was my longest run in minutes before my interval of walking for 2 min. I'm a heavy footed runner and I've been losing weight over the past couple of months but my thigh hasn't bothered me too much until yesterday. It seems like when I try to lift my leg, it hurts and sometimes it slightly gives out on me so I'm walking around with a limp. Could it be my running style? (under pronator) or my old shoes? Help please!

Thanks for the advice, as I was typing in my first posting I was thinking that he does 'need to grow up and cook for himself'! He also does sound like he needs to get some sort of help either by his GP and/or a cooking class, in fact both of them can do with taking a cooking class! 

 I'll try to encourage them to help make the tea when they come to our house again but like someone mentioned above, we can't make them do anything. It's only their health that will suffer...
