Day 114/365+1

my new favourite past time...
I am down and out with a boot camp/running injury. I have dislocated/rotated (or something equally as painful) my SI (Sacroiliac) joint. I thought I could just walk it off but when I could actually no longer walk and lost feeling in my right leg, I figured it was perhaps time to seek help.
I was able to get into a Physio-Therapist downtown(who looks like Alice in wonderland, but this is not really important to the story) who stated this was not going to be quick or easy to fix... so I am now on a regiment of ice, stretching and visits to her every 2 days (and as much Advil as I can get my hands on). It is so out of whack it may end up needing a chiropractor to pop into place but until the inflammation and tightness eases, she can't even get close to putting it back into the proper place.
I am being a BIT of a baby due to the pain and my 94 yr old Nana will beat me in a foot race but didn't I hear Kanye West say once " Now that don't kill me,Can only make me stronger" and how can you not take that advice.

So sorry to hear about your sciatic joint. Mine "popped" during my first pregnancy back 13 years ago and has been a chronic pain since then. I started seeing a chiropractor in November after trying many other methods to ease the pain and while I am not totally "pain free", I am feeling a lot better.
