This Week

What a week this has been. I feel as though I am making NO progress physically. (Yet I know I must be…)
Extra special thanks to my friend and sports chiropractor extraordinare, Josh Glass, for his extra attention this week. As it turns out, I don’t know what I would have done without him.

Aside from lots of glute strength work, I’d been doing very little, just the usual routine. 30:00-40:00 runs, 30:00 swims, 1 hour+ bikes, etc. Each activity has caused the same “hunched over”, painful reaction. Wednesday, in particular, I rode for 90min with my friend Tony Myers and when I dismounted the indoor trainer, I couldn’t stand straight. Same thing for the swimming (I think this is either pushing off the wall or the twisting which results from flip turns?). The running simply aches.

I am beyond frustrated.

I’d been helping Josh at his office this week and it was a good thing! He worked on me each day and I am so grateful for that. He was able to monitor my progress (or lack thereof) post activity and treatment each day. Josh told me my SI joint gets totally locked up, and my lower back just won’t budge… my back is just insanely inflamed. Thankfully I seem to be holding the adjustments, so that is good news.

I’ll be seeing Josh again next week but the next step seems to be an anti-inflammatory injection. Anyone who knows me knows of my needle-phobia, so this ought to be good!

I’ll keep you posted.
