Not running yet.. but a little progress

[grumpyoldgirl]

Just back from the physio, I'm still not allowed to run, but there are signs of improvement. Could take a while, but she's happy so I'm happy. Had acupuncture on my leg and foot today. That was an experience!

A little progress is always good and it’s heading in the right direction...🙂

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Irishprincess]

Thanks your majesty, any progress is good right now, and it's made my day

Keep on keepin’ on GOG. Good to hear you’re still smiling. 😁

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to HeavyFoot]

Thanks HF, well it's frustrating for sure, but it makes such a difference knowing what's wrong, and being able to do something about it. Definitely still smiling 😊

[Debston Graduate10]

Good that there's improvement! How does acupuncture feel, is it painful or surprisingly OK?

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Debston]

It was surprisingly ok! Everyone reacts differently apparently, but although I felt the pinprick going in, I didn't feel a thing afterwards, not even when she took them out again.

[Debston Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

That's great, I always assumed that it would be painful. Hope it helps!

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Debston]

I'll report back!

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Glad you are progressing in the right direction. The running will still be there and I'm sure you'll make great progress when you are back to full fitness.

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Grannyhugs]

That's what I'm hoping, and it keeps me going 😊

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Getting there GOG, and as long as there’s progress that’s the main thing. Good for you being patient. 👍😀

Gosh, acupuncture. I’m not sure if I’d enjoy it that much, so kudos to you for ensuring it. 💪

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to cheekychipmunks]

I thought I'd give it a go, it really didn't hurt. But then I'm fairly relaxed about needles😊

[over61andstilltrying Graduate10]

Here's to more progress in the right direction.

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Glad to hear things are improving!👍

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to JonathanP]

Thanks JP 😊

Al progress is good, i’d the acupuncture help? i’ve had it in the past for neck pain and it was amazing

Keep healing and you will run soon i hope

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to SueAppleRun]

I think it has helped. Nothing miraculous but foot is definitely better today

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

That’s good to hear

[Decker]

Glad there has been progress. Hope it heals up fully soon.

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10]

Glad you are making progress gog. Being IC is a pain in the nether regions and other places too of course. Running isn’t all fun though; I am dehydrated and have loads of twinges after today’s cavalier attempt at increasing distance...guess you would swap though! Keep strong 💪

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Beachcomber66]

😁 there's always something BC! Hope your twinges ease off

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Drinking gallons and just had a walk to the supermarket; feels better already!👍

[Vintage61 Graduate10]

Sorry to hear you’ve been on the bench. Hope it gets sorted very soon. Xx

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Vintage61]

I'm seeing a physio who seems to really know her stuff. Slow progress but I won't run until she says it's ok.

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

A good physio is a real blessing. But sorry your injury is so persistent. 😒

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Granspeed]

Thanks GS, just got to be patient.

[Vintage61 Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Slow but it’s so worth it. I went to a brilliant sports therapist called Simon, so I did the obvious! 😂 Good luck my lovely! X

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Vintage61]

Thank you x
