16 Year Old Mess

Since April of 2009 I have been struggling with torn cartilage, stress fractures, tight muscles, over-pronation, and IT Band Syndrome. Basically all overuse running injuries. In January I finally got surgery. They released my iliopsoas tendon from a part on my lower back, removed destroyed cartilage, and smoothed out my congenital bump. It's been almost half a year of recovery and I'm back to square one already. The side of my hip along with my lower back has a sharp pain that shows up a few minutes after I finish running. Also I have an audible clicking sound coming from my hip that happens whenever I stand up. Does anyone out there know what's happening to me?

All I want to do is run!
