Injury couch... again 😔

[Mum22boys]

So grrrr I'm back on the IC 🤬🤬🤬🤬 the physio warned that if I did too many of my one legged squats I could inflame the tendon... well I really thought I was taking it easy... nowhere near 3 sets of 10 and only 3 times a week but I seem to have inflamed the tendon in my hip. So on ice and a couple of days of anti-inflammatories to calm it down. Reduced to hobbling at the moment. Been feeling so fed up this morning as it should have been my early morning run today but then read MartinKH far more positive injury post so gave myself a good talking to!!

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Oh no, poor you, and you were trying to do the right thing. With the weather too hot for running this is maybe a good time to have a rest. Take care 🤗

[Mum22boys Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

As long as it's just a few days 😩

[MartinKH Graduate10]

So sorry to hear this Mum22boys, I only just just responded to your kind reply to me and then saw this post.

It's totally understandable to be fed up when you initially find out you're back on the IC.

I would be (and have been) exactly the same.

It shows you really care and enjoy your running, which in the big scheme of things is a great thing.

Hopefully some ice, rest, and a few days of anti-inflammatories will help you to a quick recovery.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

[Mum22boys Graduate10 in reply to MartinKH]

Thanks Martin, I so can't cope with being inactive, it drives me a bit crazy 🥴

[MartinKH Graduate10 in reply to Mum22boys]

I can totally understand that. Fingers and everything crossed you'll recover very soon.

[Roxdog Graduate10]

Oh no, bad luck. But you know what you're dealing with! Hope- hmmm, mine is a bit niggly after yesterday's run. The clamshell exercises hurt a bit. It's about getting balance isn't it!

Hopefully a few days will see it off! Take care. 😎

[Mum22boys Graduate10 in reply to Roxdog]

It's so hard isn't it. You think you're doing the right thing and then something flares up again. Really hope your niggle is nothing 🤞

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Oh that sucks M22B, I’m so sorry. Hopefully it’s just a temporary setback and you’ll get yourself fighting fit again before too long.

Big hugs to make you feel better. 🥰

[Mum22boys Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thank you, those big hugs are just what I needed today 😊

[Wenderwoo]

I hear you! My Achilles just keeps giving 😰

[Mum22boys Graduate10 in reply to Wenderwoo]

It's so frustrating isn't it!! Are you managing to get any treatment/ strengthening exercises??

[Wenderwoo in reply to Mum22boys]

I had physio for about 2 months and things were improving but then lockdown happened and only telephone consults possible. They were pointless really, so I stopped them. I can’t help but think it’s an age thing as it’s gone on so long! Maybe need to see the doc again...... Fingers crossed some rest will see you back soon 😁

[Fabulous450 Graduate10]

So sorry to hear that Mum22boys!! I really hope it settles back down again quickly. 🤗❤️

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

So sorry to hear that Mum22! Hope you mend soon!

[Hidden]

Oh, that's really rotten and frustrating. Hopefully a few days more rest and RICEing will see you on the mend. At least you get to avoid running in the heat...... 🥵. Hopefully the temperatures will be a bit lower by the time you are ready to do a test run. ☺️

[Hidden]

Keep positive even if it's a struggle as you'll be back and have plenty more runs to come 😊

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Sorry to read this - rest up well and hopefully once the weather is cooler, you will be ready to get back out there! 🤞🙂

[Forest_Run_Beginner Graduate10]

I'm really sorry to hear this, that must be so frustrating, particularly when you think you're doing the right thing. I hope that it will be a short sit on the IC for you.

Take care, stay safe and keep positive and you'll be back to the running in no time, I'm sure 🍀

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Oh no, I hadn’t seen this when you responded to my post. Good luck on the IC and do follow physio’s advice. Just as one person gets off that couch someone else comes along to fill it up again . Grrrr.

[Mum22boys Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

There seem to be too many people lurking around the IC at the moment!!!

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10]

We all seem to be in the wars or just emerging from them at the moment. I wouldn’t tell my physio about the excess squats....the “I told you so” look hurts far more than the injury!🙂

[Mum22boys Graduate10 in reply to Beachcomber66]

Glad that you're emerging from it.. hope the slow and steady is still working. I seem to be hopping on and off it far too much at the moment.. I genuinely thought I was being careful... obviously need to be more so 🙄

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10 in reply to Mum22boys]

All good thanks. Gradually speeding up but not through any conscious effort. Way off Pb pace and likely to keep it that way.

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Aw, so sorry to read that. Hopefully though, a few days should see it over? Might be an idea to talk to the physio again, especially if you weren’t overdoing it but the still got annoyed?

[Mum22boys Graduate10 in reply to Leosmit]

I really hope it's only a few days 🤞🤞🤞 got another appointment with the physio on Tuesday evening so thankfully not too long to wait

[RunWillie Graduate10]

Sorry to hear you can’t run for the moment. Hope your appointment goes really well and you’re back out there soon 🏃‍♀️

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10]

Hope you’re off the IC again soon. Take care of yourself!

[Wimborne]

Hope it settles soon for you M and rest well... this is just a pause for you.. running is there when you are all healed and you will be back out there. I will keep you company as I am on the ‘it’s way too freaking hot to run’ couch. I am having a rest for a few days and putting my feet up with you. ... ice also goes well with gin and vodka.. or pimms... just saying 😀. Stay bright M... you will be back

[Mum22boys Graduate10 in reply to Wimborne]

I like your thinking.. I may have indulged in a gin in the garden last night.... purely for medicinal purposes of course 😉

[Hidden]

Sorry to hear you’re back on the IC Mum22boys, soooooo frustrating for you when you were looking forward to that early morning run, I hope the ice and anti-inflammatory help a lot. Meanwhile, take care and maybe do some dreaming of where you want your running to take you when you’re ready to go again, hope today is a better day for you 💐🤗

[Mum22boys Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Ah thank you 😊 ice and ibuprofen are doing some good. Now just feel a but achy and bruised rather than pain. I have an increasing desire for trail running and some wild swimming (don't know where that's come from?!) So might day dream about that for a while 😉

[Hidden in reply to Mum22boys]

Excellent ideas, I find reading books of others amazing adventures really inspiring 😊
