I saw PA Nicole Johnson yesterday. It is definitely a pulled or strained muscle and not a hernia. She suggested that I continue with PT (next appt isn't until Thursday - ugh), ice it at least twice a day, do the stretches they've taught me at least twice a day, and not be afraid to take Aleve as needed. She also thought I could try riding my bike and see how that goes if I feel the need to do something.
So, I went for a 3 mile ride this morning. I had just taken Aleve so I could still feel a little pull down there but very minor. Now, after a couple of hours, the Aleve is working and I don't feel anything there. I will for another ride Monday morning and see how it goes.
That's all the news that's fit to print from here.

I'll be interested to hear how it feels tomorrow before you take any Aleve. I usually just take ibuprofen but maybe I'll get some of that because I don't think that helps my foot feel better.
I'm glad you could run, drugged up or not! Thankfully it's not more serious than a pulled muscle. I presume a hernia needs more serious intervention?
I'm finally headache free-ish today. Such a relief. Running for sure.
Did I say I ran? I don't think so. I rode my bike.
Oh, yep. Ride you said! My mind thought I would see run so I read run! Brains. So tricky.
