So ten week update (losing track but I think its 10 weeks):

Last 24 hours have been really amazing: pain still present but no spikes that make me break out in cold sweat on my neck and have been able to walk for 30 min with nothing really sharp or super achy happening.

Changes:

Monday: PT x 2
Tue: Pilates: only doing 3 things
Wed:
1st: Chiro (first visit to Chiro alone, prev PT had done some adj but not this many: worked on Thoracic section a lot more).
2nd: Acupuncture / dry needling: man had flashbacks to my PRP and Epidural got through and it was far from fun, if I had never had had the Prp and epidural it would have made this much easier. Oddly felt much better right after, sore but better.
3rd: Pilates again.
- sore that night at sites of acupuncture.

Up until today had not done any work on teeth just exams which minimizes the bend and twist: I have some amazing co workers and other drs I work with that have picked up the slack and I am very appreciative.

Today: really no bad pain.

Still working the mental aspect of this all telling myself it will be ok and its not so bad and I will get through this.

Now I am not sure if the steroid from last Friday is kicking in and this bit of relief is short lived, maybe the Prp is working, is it the increases PT visits, of did the Chiro or acupuncture just do some magic?????

Going to enjoy these moments of no pain and hope they last.

First first time in a long time have thoughts of riding a bike and maybe still be able to race Kona in 13 months.

(I have listed both my TT bikes for sale and if I can get back to riding ever will be on a bike I can adj stack height very easy depending on how my back it feeling that day)
