Update?
Assuming since it has been a few days that things are doing much more bueno.
11 week update:
- Pain is way down, can walk most of the day without anything sharp or shooting, unless say I sneeze or cough or getting in or out of car. Oh yea getting on socks still kinda sucks.
- There seems to be a light at end of the tunnel.
- I have formed a little team of: PT (I am seeing 3), Chiro, acupuncture, and pilates instructor. I have re arranged my work schedule to get in for 4 sessions a week. Making getting better a priority over work (thats very hard to do for me).
- Pt's are all aware of each other and each are working slightly different things.
- Chiro once a week to keep things loose but not have them to lose, adj to the thoracic area have helped.
- Acupuncture I was skeptical of but much more a believer of now.
- Pilates: working on walking better, activation of muscle I was not using well, posture, hips..... I should have been doing this years ago.
I cant point to one thing that is working sig better then another but it all together seems to be working.
I am currently walking 2 miles a day, long ways from running a marathon or doing a 6 hour ride but its def progress.
Some of them are telling me its ok to get back on the trainer and some are saying no not quite yet, its hard since I really still want to do something more then walk. But fuck its a different world then 4-6 weeks ago! Thanks for listening and mesg me back members of ST.
I am having some real hope now that I can go race in Hawaii in 2021. TT bikes are up for sale so would need to buy a new one but thats a good problem.
