Change of plans(for now)

Well managed to ride my bike for an hour and a half on Monday followed by an half hour walk with Becky, one of my daughters' friend's mother. Did have a series of pulling in the saddle ares. Can't tell if it is psoas, hamstring or adductors. At this point it does not matter what muscle it is. Just why is it objecting so much?
On Monday Peter did a lot of stretching and used the accu machine on me for muscular/ nerve regeneration. On Tuesday we did our normal workout in the gym including a added move and did pretty o.k. He also worked on that tight saddle spot and I swear he was right on it. I like the way he worked on my psoas muscle as well. He trigger point it on the front medial attachment and he went in through the back as well at the same time. It was truly beneficial. Now if it would only stay that way.
Well I also canceled my hip appointment only to take a break from doctors and just to hopefully get some more benefit from my recent surgery.
On a good note my gyno was very pleased with me and the way I handled my procedure. I was the perfect patient. That does make me feel good since I feel all I do is complain about my issues.
What a great thing it would be for some or all my issues to start going away and that my procedure was the fix. I can keep praying and hoping. Chat later.......

Post polyps removal procedure

Well I had my procedure for removal of Uterine Polyps on Thursday and have to say it went smoothly. I did have a minor panic moment when I was told that it was going to be general anesthesia but after speaking with the anesthesiologist and his wonderful assistant I calmed down. I was concern about the effects of the anesthesia after when it comes to urinating. After my hip cope I had to go to the emergency room because I could not urinate. It was a horrible experience and would rather give birth again than go through that.
But alas my other issues are still there. The right hip, leg and groin tightness and pain is still there. I spent some time yesterday stretching my psoas and hamstring and ended up even tighter after. WTF. This latest episode has last past two months now and just does't seem to want to go away. What do I do now?? I cannot just stand by, I need to know what the hell is going on.
Hubby is going away for a week of work and skiing so I will be home alone with my daughter. I guess I will try to find something to keep my mind off this. But how do you do that? I have my daughters doctors' appointments, jazz class etc. Plus I have not even began to do any kind of Christmas shopping done. Really not in the spirit though.

Stay confuse, stumble forward????

Well another Thanksgiving behind me and yes I still battling my issues. I am now beginning to notice a pattern with my pain. First I am always in pain. I am actually use to it now. If I walk and do some sort of cardio and resistance for my right side I am more flexible and have less pain the day of to the day after. But on day two after everything comes back. The most annoying is my right hip just seems to want to turn out all the time. My periformis muscle and glutes are just so tight. My quads hurts to the touch, my calves feel locked up and my hamstring pops when I bend over. There is this feeling that my hip will just pop out of place. And to make matters worse I cannot stretch my quad because it just locks after. Peter still feels it is over compensation. But the left operated side has improved significantly in terms of strength and less pain issues.
The neurologist said it was not my back and ordered another hip mri. The hip specialist saw nothing on the MRI.
After rereading Suzie blog I realize how similar my issues are to hers. The weird thing is that my left hip symptoms before the scope where not. I only had groin pain and sciatica like pain and could not work out what so ever. I could not even stretch the muscles.. My right side hip bones ache to the touch and just feels as if it is going to pop.
So I have decided once again to go to another hip specialist after I take care of my uterine polyps. I am having the procedure on Thursday and then after recovering I am going to visit a Dr. Dominic Carreira. If I am not mistaken he worked with Dr. Philippon in Vail.
So I will let you know about that.
