3 week countdown, Pre Op Exercises

I was following the first set faithfully, but I noticed a twinge and activation of nerve pain L1 L2 Psoas when I did Leg Raises and Heel Slides, so I’ve had to adapt and take them out.

So instead of not doing exercises, I’ve swapped them for

Hip Flexion x 10reps

Hip Extension x 10reps

Hip Abduction x 10reps

If these too cause the same nerve pain, then I will readjust things more, at least I can be flexible and change the reps, or exercise entirely.

CMC pains back

Sadly the old cmc joint pains are back, the injections this time have lasted around 3months, so it’s getting shorter and shorter in time.

As I’m close to Hip surgery (4 weeks) I can’t have the steroid injections beforehand, so I contacted Micats and I have to wait a good 2 months after the surgery too.

Bit sad I have to wait, but I understand as I believe it can hinder bone healing, so it’s not a good idea to have so close to surgery.

Hoping my cannula won’t be hooked up near such an inflamed joint, something I will have to ask them.

So its gloves and splints, and hoping I don’t get that awful painful rash again, that I get when the splints get sweaty in this weather.

Been loving this balm though from Natura Emporium on etsy, from France but arrived so fast!! Lovely to rub in and skin doesn’t dry out using it either.
