For over a month I have been in pain. I didn't know what was causing it; one doctor diagnosed a pinched nerve in my back. But that was caused by the original pain. And now that a month has gone by, I know that I wasn't taking care of myself.
I kept on walking at work, thinking that if it was sore muscles, I should power through the pain. Wrong!
I've had physical therapy three times now, and boy do I like it! My therapist, Donovan, is young (and cute!) but he knows his stuff. The first week i had a knotted muscle the size of a softball. He worked it out, and that was only the beginning. After some major stretching with his help, then exercises designed to help my specific issues, I am making good progress.
Yesterday was my best day in a month. And even though he worked me hard today, I know that its best in the long run. With his help, I'm learning how to move and exercise to correct my faulty hip muscles.
Now I just have to figure out when I can get back to work!
Who's ready to work out??? 1...2...3...go!
