Those of you who follow either my blog or my social media <\/a>will already know that I have been suffering some pain for quite a while. Basically I thought if I kept documenting it then it would be easier for me to look back on things. I also kind of hope that some people will be interested! It mostly started during my time training for a Sub 2 hour Half Marathon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recap of the Pain and Activity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For those of you who do not know I have a pain in my left hip. It travels along my lower back like back labour pain and sometimes goes into my pelvis. Prior to this is I was running regularly with some weeks putting in up to 55 miles. On top of this I was swimming bits too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in June I went to the hospital in order to have a haemorrhoid looked at. My mother died having a polyp removed and so I find things related to it very traumatic. They sent me for a flexible sigmoidoscopy<\/a> as I have bleeding, plus fourteen years ago I had a polyp<\/a> removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treatment since the Pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since the pain has come on I have seen the lady who does my sports massages, two NHS physiotherapists and a private chiropractor. Also I have been for an X-Ray <\/a>which came back clear. I have significantly reduced my activity not running more than 5K at a time. However, I have kept active too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exercises set by Musculoskeltal Physiotherapy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So the Musculoskeltal Physiotherapy lady sets some exercises, and every time I see her she adapts them a bit. At first they were causing me even more pain and even doing Parkrun <\/a>was unbearable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changes Made for Back Pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The lady who does my sports massages suggested it could be our bed. So my husband ordered a new mattress topper to see if that would help. Then back in November I joined at the Leisure Centre. Plus I tried Barefoot running again. Recently I bought my first pair of Vibrams but have yet to run in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Regular Activities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now I regularly do swimming<\/a> in a warm pool (as well as a cold), I visit the gym and do classes such as Spin, Step, Yoga and Pilates. Zumba it turns out isn\u2019t for me, and I have only tried Aqua and Core once each. As well as the exercises that the Musculoskeltal Physiotherapy lady sets. Parkrun<\/a> is now possible without pain afterwards – I have been jeffing <\/a>a 30:30. A handful of times I have also added in an extra 2 mile jeff in the week with the boys too. Totally not relevant but I have also been fitting in some weight exercises at the gym too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
