OH MY ACHING BODY….
Last week I started physical therapy. I have had a huge pain in my left leg.. in the side thigh part. About 6 inch area. And it got worse this past summer.. From July to about November it was bad.. The part for year has been a 3 to 5 rating.. to me an annoyance after all these years. I learn to live with it.. But this late summer it was huge. It was on the 10 to 15 rating on some days.. a lot of 8 to 10. There were a couple of days that it was times I was almost in tears. And even Aleve did not help.. when it did with the lesser.
So I broke down and call the
Dr. And of course there is no such thing as getting in right away.. but did get one about 2 weeks out. In November…
And I will be an s.o.b. the dang thing, the day before, turn on me. I
felt like the lady who took her car to the mechanic and told of noises and
shaking.. and the mechanic comes back after a try out.. and can’t find
anything. But the dr. and I decided
maybe physical therapy would help.
So off I go and she gave me
some exercises to do before I go to my next visit… today.. Well, I am here to tell you, the thigh area
is about the same.. but my BUTT.. hurts like hell. There are muscles I guess, I have not used
for some time and boy do they hurt. I am
suppose to do these stretches 10 at a time.. with a break.. and then do more.
Making it 30 at each time.. Doing them
in the am.. noonish and evening.. meaning 90 per day. After the first day and
shoveling show.. I am here to tell you,
I hurt so much I could barely walk for about 3 minutes.. And the next morning
.. oh brother. And it isn’t even the
area I went in there for. It is muscle in the butt and along the back side of
the legs.. because now it is both
legs. I sure am hoping as I go thru
it.. those muscle loosen up.. You know
the old saying.. don’t use it.. lose it.. well, I guess I lost it.
And I downsized it to 60..
meaning doing 20 instead. Until these
muscle loosen up.. Figured 60 is better than none.
Geesh it is hell to get
old.
