I have been ordered by my doctor/physical therapist to take a week off. No biking. No swimming. No strength training. He has given me a dozen or so exercises for isolating and stretching my sacroilliac joint and instructed me to do them at least once a day every day. So far I'm on track for every other day.
I am dying for a swim. It has been hot hot hot, and I miss the cool respite of the pool. I might break the rules tomorrow and do some laps.
My hip hurts. The pain has spread out, and now it hurts even while sitting. I guess this is a good thing, but I'm not sure. It hurts more after the physical therapy exercises, and the next day, the pain radiates out from the joint.
I am concerned that I will never be pain free again. That this hip pain will derail my weight loss and fitness efforts. I am trying to stay positive, but it is difficult.
