Gym Day and Doctor Day

I did go to the gym this morning and did my routine.

Then I went to see my Doctor this afternoon and he 99.9% sure that the problem in my left groin and knee is from a small tear or hernia in the groin muscle itself.  He found the spot for sure!  He did take x rays to rule out hip trouble but thinks physical therapy will take care of it.  The fact that it's better now than it was 2-3 weeks ago tells him it's not really a hip problem.  So, take ibuprofen or aleve as needed and keep running as tolerated.  Take ibuprofen in the morning before you run and again at bed time so you can sleep.  Sleeping has been a problem lately so I will start doing this.  Planning a 4 miler tomorrow.

I cringe just thinking about him "finding" that spot on you. UGG! I just cringed again typing that! But I'm so happy to hear that it's a solvable problem - and is, in fact, on it's way to being solved! That's very happy news.

Good luck on your 4 miler tomorrow! Ibuprofen up!
