I'm trying to be patient, I really am.
I went to the doc on Tuesday to get my hip checked out. She agreed it was the SI joint and thinks it is a muscle spasm that is causing the issue. So, I'm on a pain killer/anti-inflamatory and at night I take a muscle relaxor. So far, it doesn't seem to be helping all that much. When I sit for a long time slouched over, like at work, my back siezes up when I stand. If I sit with excellent posture, it ususually isn't very bad. If I'm standing, I don't notice it at all. I have been rather sluggish and creaky lately. I decided I needed to move more, even if I can't continue my regular workout for now.
Last night, I got my 7 TGUs in (for the 3rd and 4th) without weight. (Oh, yes. I'm doing a challenge to do a number of TGUs per day on each side that is equal to the date in February.)
This morning, I did my foam rolling series. I could tell I hadn't done it in a while because my IT band was more sore than normal. When I do it regularly, the IT band doesn't give my any sass at all. After that, I did a nice 20 minute hatha yoga program from YogaDownload. Then I did my 5 TGUs with a 5# weight. I can tell I'll probably have to break them up more later on when the reps are higher. After that I did two chin-ups. Itfeels great to have moved some more.
