Nothing today, had to drive for appt and Puppy is at Big Shark. And I hurt.
Today -- I reported poor sleep as that was when the pain was worst. I was mildly limping, suffered on the dog walk, described a deep pain that seemed to be coming from the femur bone, a pain down the front hip/quads, and a 'kinked' feeling in my back over my left hip.
What he did -- the 'scraping' along the back (OMG it felt like skin was peeling up) and he commented on the gritty feeling. Camel-to-cat stretch with his fingers dug into my back (OMG again). But this is improving lumbar mobility as evidenced by photos.
On my right side, he worked on a lateral hip muscle while I slid/pulled my left knee up to my chest. "Very tight" he said. Then we worked on area of the hip inside the iliac crest -- I start with bent knee, then straighten it and flex backwards with the gluts. OMG again.
Initially he thought about a few treatments before an MRI. Today it sounded like he'd consider an MRI at the next appt on Thursday. His description -- new and different pains are expected as loads and unloads change with treatment. He said pains 'leftover' after treatments probably indicate another injury, he said stress fracture today but in previous appt also mentioned cartilage tear. So I guess more on Thursday.
Right now at work, it hurts to stand and walk, sitting doesn't hurt as much but after sitting isn't good either. I'm mildly limping. I skipped my afternoon walk, and I'm not looking forward to walking out to the truck.
