1 hr 30 minutes elliptical and about 25 minutes on the weights with 3 dudes. I'm being re-schooled by the meat heads :). 

I went to physical therapy yesterday and was examined and treated by a sports med PT. He was awesome. After evaluating me, he said that my T3 and T4 vertebrae seem to be a little crunched together, which is pinching my sciatic nerve. My glutes are tighter than normal and I seem to be having some problems in the pirformis muscle too. -like I originally thought.He also said my sacrum/pelvis seem to be kind of stuck/cocked back on my right side. So he laid me on my side and did some crunching, popping and stretching. I'm not gonna lie, I hurt BAD after he was done to the point of tears. Then I got some massage and the electrode treatments on my muscle's, as well as ultrasound heat therapy. I cried a lot for about an hour after I was done. But strangely, I feel even better this morning. He seemed very confidant in having me back running in a months time. This made my heart happy. I hope!

 

I thought about  this picture and quote yesterday as I left the PT's office. Let me know if for some reason you can't see it.

 

"Hard things are put in our way, not to stop us, but to call out our courage and strength."

Love that quote! After I had my last baby I had problems with my pelvis on the right side. I remember when the Dr. told me I couldn't run for six weeks, I broke down crying. I did PT for that six weeks and it turned out to be my favorite part of the week! And now I feel like I have a lot of tools to keep me from getting injured (at least in that area) in the future.

And what if you're trapped under that rock?

It's only time. You'll come back stronger and better than ever. Find ways to relax your body YOGA and all it to recover YOGA. Above all that, relax your mind YOGA and find peace during this time off YOGA and you'll be in a better place when you're ready to come back.

Glad you are feeling a little better. I work out with 3 (meat-heads) dudes too. :)
