Might have overdone it

So after 30 mins on the bike with resistance and then 500 metres of swimming without using the legs I've pulled up sore today. I tried rolling around on my back on a tennis ball to massage it and have taken Norufen 50mg tablets but they've not helped.

I really think this back related stuff in the pelvis is just something I'll have to live with. Years and years of physio and treatment and now hip surgery hasn't resolved it and I don't think it ever will.

Hopefully my hips will be ok in the long run. That's something to hang my hat on.

If you are reading this blog and have any thoughts or comments, good or bad, I would really appreciate it if you could add your comments after any of my posts. I feel like I am on my own with this and would love to hear from people in the same boat.

Some more exercise and that old ache in the pelvis/hips - 61 dayspost-op

I've been very quiet on the rehab front this week. I've continued with the quadratus exercises and been on my feet a lot and have felt quite reasonable. Sleeping is still relatively difficult with that ache in the hip/pelvis area on both sides but I'm soldiering on.

I had a ride on the exercise bike this morning for half an hour with the seat high but some reasonably high resistance. I'm buggered if I know how pro riders can be in the saddle every day of their lives! After half an hour I got off with a numb backside and undercarriage. That's right, folks. My doodle was numb!

I've felt very achy in the left upper hip/pelvis all day today and I'm about to go for a swim, minus using the legs, to try and free up the back. To be honest it is disappointing that the surgery hasn't relieved that pain as it was assumed it would. Back to the drawing board there.

I'm playing golf tomorrow with the use of a golf cart so that should be very interesting. I'm not really too confident that the hip twisting involved in the swing will be pain free. We'll see I suppose.
