Hi Belinda and Sherry!
Ok I went to see the Doc about my calf yesterday. It is really sore, swollen and making it a pain just trying to get around. They did an ultrasound to see if I had a blood clot..ok there. They said to go home and call PT today.
Wait a minute...back up I don't know what is the problem just yet. Wouldnt you think that they would do an xray or MRI to see what is really going on???? What's PT going to do at this point if I don't know what is wrong??? They are not Doctors and can't schedule MRI's and such..... Boy am I confused!
What do you think? What has been your experience with an injury?
Well needless to say my workouts have been cut back again.
Jan 1st I tried a walk. 2miles but my calf hurt pretty bad later in the evening.
Jan 2nd. I did a cycle ride of 20min. Then LIS tri-upper express. Again later my calf hurt like heck. I tried a heating and have been taking asprin.
Well the heating pad I think made things much worse! BAD IDEA!
Last night I took advil and used ice. MUCH BETTER!
I woke this morning with my calf hurting again so took more advil. A short time later it was moveable and I could walk better.
I guess I will call the Doc to see if I can get an MRI on it to show if I actually tore the muscle or something before making any appts with the PT department.
Belinda: How are things going with you?
Sherry: Have you put together a rotation of running and the new LIS series?
Well that's about it for now...any ideas for me would be helpful.
Thank you in advance.
Have a great day and workout!
