This model needs a recall
Because I just don't have enough wrong with my body!
I've been having weird hip pain issues for about a week and a half. It got really bad at the end of last week, so I scheduled an appointment with my rolfer, Risa, for Tuesday (it was the earliest she could get me in). Well. It appears likely that I am bordering on having sciatica. I had wondered about this, because the pain I was experiencing was suspiciously similar to what I've heard about sciatic nerve pain, but I thought that couldn't be it because I had it in both sides. Well, it seems one can have sciatica on both sides if one is very very special, and we all know how very special I am, don't we?
*sigh*
Risa worked on me from my ankles to my ribs for over ninety minutes and wow, some of those rubs were intense. Especially on my left hip (which I noticed, doing dance drills, was sitting a little higher). She also commented on how my calves looked really tight, and I remembered complaining to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mckitterick about my crazy stiff calves the week before the hip pain started. It's all connected!
When I got home I researched yoga poses to try and yoga poses to avoid. Basically, it's All Restorative Postures All The Time for at least a week, maybe longer, except for a very few poses that are invigorating to that particular area (Locust pose being one). Once the pain is gone, I can try some basic seated poses and twists. No standing poses, though, and absolutely no forward bends--especially seated forward bends--for a long time. Like two months of a long time. Craziness.
I'm still having a fair amount of discomfort, and I can't sit for more than fifteen minutes. Which makes my desk job even more awesome than it usually is. I rotate between sitting, kneeling (thankfully, I have a pillow here), crouching, and then walking around Wescoe. Twice a day, I'll take a longer walk outside. The only time my hips don't ache is when I'm lying on my stomach, which makes my neck and lower back hurt.
Annoyingly, my recently re-revved exercising has been put on hiatus for a week, and the intensity will have to be cut back when I do return. This is not what I wanted to hear fewer than three months out from KCRF. So so so frustrating.

I can't tell you how often I've thought "If M only lived closer..." =/
