Injured

Seems like f-o-r-e-v-e-r since I have been here.  Seven months into my injury and I had my first cortisone shot today.  I am super stiff tonight.  I am not allowed to do anything for 2 days, then light activity for the next 5.  I am allowed to start a modified running schedule one week from tomorrow and I still have to go to PT 3 times a week.  I have a torn hip labral and bursitis in my hip.  Lovely.  But I am moving forward.  *If* in the next three weeks I do not have complete relief my doctor and I will talk about surgical options.  Short and sweet but not letting it beat me. 

So sorry to hear about your injuries. Best of luck and I hope you feel better soon. Love your upbeat attitude!
Good luck.

Good luck with that.  I went thru 3 specialists before I got one that went in and fixed my hip problems in March 09.  It was a great relief.  Mine started hurting Oct 08 and by December I had to use a crutch to walk.  All total, I was off the road a total of 8 months total (1 month after surgery) before I got back jogging.    If the shots don't get you r relief, don't be too patient with the physical therapy route.  I recommend the laproscopic surgery. Its a wonderful thing!!!

Injuries suck. I've been dealing with this calf tear for over 7 months now. Stupid insurance won't give me any more PT visits until Aug. 1st either.
