Just a question....are you wearing the proper shoes for YOUR feet when you run? If you haven't run in a while, had any kind of injury to your ankle or knee or back, or, if you had any weight change, you may have a different way of your foot hitting the ground now as opposed to how it used to hit.
After a bad break/sprain of my left ankle, I had to wear shoe inserts for a few years, or I would have really bad knee and lower back pain. My foot actually isn't turned enough to be considered pronated or anything, but I have severe tendonitis in the foot/ankle, and I am really picky on sneakers, as well as I have to replace them more often if I am using them for working out---as I can tell that they are not as supportive/cushioned properly.
Just a thought/concern. (since you said you are stretching and you used to run). Good luck to you.
ps...if you are looking at shoes, not all shoe stores are the same....where I live, there is a true pedorthosist nearby...they actually fit you for shoes/sneakers and let you know if you DO need inserts (my orthopedist SWORE I did, when I didn't), and can recommend a sneaker for your BUILD as well as your foot volume (high/low arch, high/low instep, wide ball of the foot, narrow heel, ect). Otherwise, Eastern Mountain Sports sometimes has shoe people that are truely helpful...but not all of them are trained.
Again, good luck, could be the shoes, could be tight muscles could be a few things.....hope you find relief and can enjoy your run soon.

If it is down one side, you might have a disc problem pinching the nerve. When you run you are putting more stress on it. to ease the pain use ice.
You've either sprained or pulled a muscle why don't you start walking. Incase you some how hurt yourself you do not want to make it worse, take it easy for now until you feel alot better.
Yea just take slow walks that way your body will still be in tune so when you get back to running this won't happen again. Take Care!!!
Stenosed sciatic nerve. Sticky sacral ilia joint.
I run five days a week and my knees hurt all the time my doctor said that it's because i don't stretch enough. He said what i should do is run for about two minutes and then stretch for ten or more minutes to relax your muscles. Then stretch after you are done running if you run for a long time.
