I CAN RUN, I AM SO HAPPY, DOWN FOR A MONTH, BUT I BEEN HEALED, LOL

So happy to see you've gotten relief and clearance to get on the happy trail again!

Listen to your body though!!

J

Thanks Dstgirl

That is my new rule,  Listen to my body,  when it screams I will stop.   Actually i'm not suppose to let it get to a scream,  still got some head work to do on this.  lol

Yeah!!!!!!!  God is sooo GOOD!!  I'm so happy for you.  Just goes to prove, you can't keep a good woman down....unless she asks you too!  In truth, you being as physically fit as you are most likely kept you from sustaining even worse injury and I'm sure, will aid in your recovery far faster than someone who is out of shape.  Even if you have to curtail your running for now, it won't be this way always.  As you manage your pain differently and strengthen your body in other ways, I'm sure you can start running outside or in full swing again before you know it. 

I really believe in alternative therapies verses surgery in ever single case.  So glad to hear you are doing that.  It works for me every time. 

The funny thing is when I was telling you that I had back issues too and that I knew how you were feeling, just so happens that my back went out this week as well and I also developed Bells Palsy in my face!!!  WTH??!!  Which is the weirdest feeling. So, I'm also doing some Physical Therapy, as well as seeing the chiropractor and my doctor to get on my meds for the palsy, but rest is the key.  This whole getting old thing has got me totally pissed off!! 

Happy your feeling better sweetheart!!

Oh No Glamy

I'm sorry to hear about all your woes.   I don't know anything about Brlls Palsy, but I hope it doesn't distort your georgeous face,  I don't mean to sound superficial but you know what I mean.

I think alternative medicine will definately be my way cause surgery doesn't help.

Glamy thanks for all your kind words, here and always on the BL where you flirt with me shamelessly.  LOL  ok, i'm lying but seriously, I appreciate you so much.

LOL!!  You are so silly.  Yes, it has distorted the grill...somewhat.  People can't really tell until I try to talk.  I sound like Quassimoto!!  I feel like I should be living in a Bell Tower with a hump on my back!!!! 

As far as the kind words, all true!!!!  ....and you are welcome.....

I was happy to read this.  I knew that you would be able to continue running.  I believe it will be good for you to.  I am study Complementary and Alternative Medicine and it looks like they have you doing all the things that will be more help that just conservative therapy ...injections and minimal exercised... that is for the birds and it will have you sitting by the side of the road for life.  Good for you I know it will get even better.  I am on my 7th day of minimal pain and that is a blessing for me.  God is good and one day I hope to run too.

Hi Di,   your so right.   The doctor said "If you take it slow, you will end up slow"

Yeah i'm liking this alternative stuff.  I get enough relief to get me off the pain meds and stand up straight.   Yes, I won't lie there is pain, but I would rather have managable pain than being a zombie on all those pain pills.    I will keep them for back up for the really bad times.

I hope you continue to get better also Di. 

 Yay!  I'm so happy to hear this. 

You might have done this already, but check your computer work station to make sure it's ergonomically friendly.  This made a huge difference for me with my pain management.

Thanks So Blessed

My computer workstation is my sofa, bed, table, and sometimes toilet.   I'm a lecturer so I don't work at a computer, I stand a talk, talk, talk.   

Well good for you. I am glad to hear that your back and knees are healing properly. Take it easy starting back and you will eventually work up to where you were and be able to go even further. I look forward to the posts and motivations. Take care Lee.
