The Ups and Downs
This weekend was a bit nutty, I'd be fine, then not so much, and then fine again.
I did the rest of my chores on Sunday morning and I think that definitely irritated my hip and hand. Lifting heavy objects is not my forte anymore. I was thinking of giving my self a break and skipping the pool, but I figured if I do that once it will be too easy to keep it up, so I dragged myself there. It was a good thing, I did my laps and leg exercises and was feeling pretty good. The mistake I made was not icing when I got home. I didn't realise how much of the day had gone and I was meeting a friend downtown. Between showering and dressing and eating I didn't have time to ice before I left. Bad me! At first I thought I'd be fine, but the walk from the subway to the pub was a bit more than I'd anticipated, but still was hanging in there just fine. About half way through the show my hips really started hurting, especially in the groin/front area where the psoas is. And both were hurting, though the right was more pronounced. To add the extra special cherry on top - my right hand/wrist started hurting as well. I was a bit disappointed as it had only been 4 days since my injection. Oh well, c'est la vie. Since sleep had been lacking the last few days I decided to leave after and go home and try to get a decent nights rest. I was only slightly successful, but at least it was more than I had been getting all weekend. I'll take it! PT tonight, and will tell S that I felt good last Tuesday and hopefully he won't want me to do the balance board, I'm really convinced that is a trigger.
Looking forward to my chiro this week as well as I pulled out my neck this morning - who knew just putting a shirt on could do that!?!
