Hip and toes

So I ice and take motrin before I run. The pain is still there but if I run on a treadmill it doenst hurt as bad then if I run on the road. I have taken time off to let this heal but no matter how long I take off it always seems to find its way back.....should I be concerned with this or learn to live with it? Ok a year or so ago I broke my little toe on my right foot and this 2 has been broken twice and I think it is the same place. My question is here lately I have noticed that that toe has been going numb whil running it doesnt hurt but it feels numb and I am not sure why. I believe that it didnt heal correctly because I can run my hand over the skin and feel where the bone was broke (there is a bump there) and it healed the way it is right now..... Should I be concerned about this and could this have anything to do with my hip hurting becuase they are on the same side of the body. I feel like i am falling apart.......any adivce is appreciated. -------------- you can lead the horse to the water but you can't make them drink..... ~lynnoakdale

I have been doing the eliptical trainer on most day and then the stationary bike also. I still run but not everday like I use too because I have to give the body a rest and be good to the hip. thanks for all the insight... -------------- you can lead the horse to the water but you can't make them drink..... ~lynnoakdale
