New Physio Routine, 1 month review

I’m going back to basics, walking is great but it doesn’t cover other joints, and overall health.

And with wetter weather comes more pain, and Less desire to want to get cold and muddy.

So it’s back to Losing Weight for Men app (find it in play store) it’s customisable so no impact or low impact. And I’m on Beginner. Started on the 3rd Sept. So now I’ve been back into a routine of nearly a month, I thought I’d share it again.

I use my Bosu Ball for the Mountain climbers, and I only do them one leg slowly at a time.

I even use it for Push ups on my knees, and plank on my knees. I aim to build up very very slowly.

It’s just 4mins a day, 7 exercises. Nothing too wild, as I know left hip is already angry.

Edit to say, I forgot how stiff it makes me the next day, so I’m doing day on day off day on routine, to build up.

But a month in and I’m loving the routine of it all, and feeling vaguely productive too. Nicer to do now it’s all wet and grey outside and too muddy for walks. It’s nice to have a dry warm place to work out.

More and more I feel and see huge limitations of the left hip that simply weren’t there only back in Feb 2020. So in a few short months the mobility aspect of that hip s horrendous.

Worth keeping a close eye on, until I can speak to my consultant in Feb 2021

2 Weeks Post #CortisoneInjection #CMCJoint

This week has flown by, I definitely feel like I hindered myself from pulling the wrist( I accidentally put all my weight on my unsplinted hand and wrist, and the wrist twanged, lightening pain and totally gave way) I collapsed into instant sobbing it hurt that bad!!

I’ve had to nurse that with splint wearing and the MCP joint was pulled funny too.

Where it says tendon sheath is where I pulled it, and the wrist went from under my weight. Little bit swollen and still tires out quickly without a splint.

The Ulnar ligament near the MCP joint is feeling thicker and more fibrous. But you can’t see anything. It’s just a feeling. So again in a splint it’s felt safer and more protected.

But hallelujah I can say on week 2 that white hot cmc joint pain has started to leave me alone, occasionally I get a twinge when hand is tired, especially from using on my phone!! Maybe it’s telling me to get off it lol

Best of all, my hormones, and emotions haven’t been flaky with Dexamethasone unlike when I have Kenalog, usually I would have some tearful for no reason days and bad depression days,but I’ve had nothing like that at all.
