Clinging to Hope

Pain in the SI joint. Severe psoas pain along with pain in the hip and leg. Inability to flex my right foot. Limping. Drop foot.

– Signed up for a rowing challenge in February.

– Signed up for a mudrun in March.

I signed up for these challenges before this flare of intense pain, limp, and foot drop. I likely would not have signed up for the mudrun and certainly wouldn’t have signed up for the rowing challenge, which begins in just a couple of days. This is the first time I’ve ever dealt with anything like this. I am hoping and praying I’ll be able to begin the rowing challenge on February 1st.

I’ve been researching exercises to try, but am waiting for doctor’s approval to begin adding to the therapy already prescribed. Until then, I’ll continue to follow doctor’s instruction.

Have you ever had physical therapy?
