Yesterday I wasn't too gimpy, a v. good sign. But at PT we still took it easy as K checked the hips and feels it's just more inflammation and thinks I should start taking the anti-inflammatories again, even if it's just for a bit. Of course I forgot them today with all the insanity of last night and lack of sleep, but will take some extra Advil and try that for the day.
We limited most of the exercises yesterday. I still did leg raises (side and back) without weights and clam shells with a three pound weight. Also did bridges with the ball and stim (6lbs on right and 2lbs on left - started at 3 but it was hurting my knee too much), and resistance with K and then he stretched me. I am planning on going to the pool after work. I thought that might be causing the pain but A, the other PT, said that just 25 minutes and what I'm doing shouldn't really do that. But then again, I have such a unique body anything is possible. I will try to pay more attention tonight and afterwards to see what happens.
And possibly I will get the courage up to go see a dentist as my jaw is only getting worse.

PT Soreness
I'm sitting here trying to suss out what exactly changed last night to create the pain I'm in this morning.
I woke up and after moving around a bit my right hip, especially in the front, was pretty sore and tight. My PT guy stretched me out yesterday because I felt a little tight around there, but that should have helped. Also, my knee bursitis is killing me, and just above my right ankle is very tender as well.
All I can come up with was that perhaps I added weight when I was doing the pulley machine. Not intentionally, mind you, I thought we were up to 15 lbs, and it did not feel more difficult than usual, so I'm not sure if that is it. The other thing is that he added more weight to my right leg when I was doing leg raises with the stim. I thought it was only a pound, but with my body perhaps that's all it takes. He did want me to add a weight when I was doing the side leg lifts, but he didn't get to me in time, but we did add it for my rear leg lifts. Other than those three things I cannot think of what was different from last week. I am stumped.
I guess I will see how long this lasts and report to him tomorrow at my appointment. The stairs at the subway were a killer today. Like I've said before, two steps forward, and then one back.
