maybe I should title this "the injury continues..." except its decided to switch from my left to my right leg/hip/back....this is just getting more and more frustrating!
soooooo...after several weeks of PT and Chiropractic therapy...I decided with my PT that it was time to see an orthopaedic doc...so we went today...and confirmed what the pt already said...ciatic nerve is irritated..piriformis muscle is irritated...she did an xray and didnt find any joint issues in the hips or pelvis.
however..the good news is..she didn't say no working out..and she didn't say I can't do the tri..she just said to workout within reason... and if i notice numbing or tingling then we're going to do another mri, this time of my hips...so for now..i'm going to be continuing PT...continuing to work out as much as possible...taking new anti inflammatories that hopefully won't hurt my tum as much as the others did...and keep 'tri'-ing....
thats the latest and greatest! i'm also following the new golden rule in my life straight out of the lips of Stephen Murray, whom i'm doing this tri for..."Dig Deep and Just believe!!"
