See your doctor/PT: This is a problem that necessitates a face-to-face meeting with your doctor. This will allow him/her to examine you, ask specific questions. And possibly order tests to find out what's wrong and what to do to help you.

Customize: Stretches that are good for some people, may injury other people. I would talk to someone who is a runner and has suggestions. Sometimes stretching before running is good, sometimes just after, sometimes both. It may be a trial and error for awhile. Don't over stretch!
