Thanks @shanaber! Pillow placement doesn't help. Sleeping on my side, either side hurts. I think this is expected. I need to just manage it for the time being.
Day 31
Took 5mg Valium before bed and it seems to help better than the Norco. I don't wanna make it a habit, but might require something to help me get sleep.
I am tired now. Hopefully it'll wear off before long.0 -
I over ate yesterday, *surprise*. We took dh's family out for Mexican food. I was a pig. I really enjoyed their company so, I'm glad to have had time with them.
Maybe today I'll do better. No plans past coffee with cream that I'll regret half way to class an hour away. I'm just trying to wake up.0 -
with my autoimmune, sometimes all i can tell people is "i'm alive"
upright and walking is good
your body is recovering. overeating here and there isn't a bad thing.1 -
Day 33 past FAI sx
Day 223 past osteotomy sx
Corner? Was that a corner?
Yesterday was “good”, no meds last night. Pain is still better. I had identified a few things I was doing that aggravated the non surgical side (well 1st sx side), and corrected that and have accidentally found some relief. The hip is somewhat settling down, for now.
I noticed my leg is back to losing muscle, it’s rather thin compared to the right. I’ll have some strength training to do soon.
Stay healthy my friends!3 -
I’m still hanging in here with my PF. I saw the sports med doctor, who I liked, and got a referral to a runner physical therapist. He also does needling, but I’m not there yet. But the waits have been so long! I finally got to move the physical therapist up a week, so will see him this Thursday. I would have been antsier, but have had so much work travel, and have decided to do swimming and biking to build my base towards training for a triathlon. So that’s been fun but I’m getting impatient about running. I was thrilled to find I could keep up with a masters swim class though!2

right. I'm officially landing myself in this thread.
Foot still hurting. I can walk fine as long as it's mostly on my heel or inside of my foot, without putting pressure on the outside/pinkie side. Booked appointment with my GP to try and persuade them to send me for an X-ray.
As I can barely walk more than a few hundred yards, running is out of the question.
woe is me.4 -
Oh @girlinahat that’s awful. I hope you can get seen soon. As much as I hate crutches or a walking boot, it may give you some mobility back. Are you dealing with plantar fasciitis?0

50 days post op (FAI) doc appointment.
Ok doc assistant follow up. Overall positive. They hadn't collected many hip scores on patients at the 6 week mark, but think my pre op score of ~58 to 70 today is absolutely fantastic. I'm special? Y'all marking my progress?
I said it hurts when I turn to look over my right shoulder. So when that exam position came up, I kinda fought tears. He said "ya don't do that" . Not a prob. Haha!
They did x-rays and there's a new tech. She mentioned they wanted coccyx measurements. Hmmm. Am I still broken? Is something else gonna hurt? I forgot to ask why. I just chalked it up to research, I'm a guinea pig. They do research, present and publish. Big deal. I mean really it is, a great service to the field.
I forgot to ask about swimming. Figure I wouldn't go anyhow. I have a few exercises, and if I go walk for an incredibly short time, I am to use a crutch or my walking poles. I'm too weak and it'll just cause injury.
ETA i got a fist bump for nursing school and advice on getting to surgical. aww they remembered. be pretty cool if i got to visit and watch the master in action.... hint hint universe, id really like that.2
