Went to a new doc today. He came highly recommended and has helped people like Arnold S(however you spell his name) when he was on his fitness tours as well as countless runners. Problem? He is expensive. We did some joint adjustments in the pelvic area and lower back. Also used a cool laser (not like neat, actually cool as is cold) on my aductor area as after much prodding and tweaking there was much scar tissue here. 

1 Week no running. Bummer. Many treatments coming... says his goal is getting me running in just over a week. I am cautiously optimistic, but he has all kinds of little tools (he says European athletes use, but stateside insurance wont cover of course).

Anyway, not real happy, but don't worry about me, go check on Steam!

Does he know what the problem is? How is there scar tissue around the adductor area? One week seems an eternity to not run! I don't know how I am going to deal with mine. :(

Sorry about the bad news Dan. Sounds like you've got a good doc to work with though.

Ugh, hope the treatments do the trick....sorry to hear about the setback.

What's with all the post-race injury stuff...is it just bad luck or are we all doing something wrong? Glad you got through Boston and hopefully this won't slow you down for your next race!

Steam- Yes I believe he does, he seems very sharp. He agreed for the most part with my PT, but feels the joint still needed adjusted or it would not heal right. So since I was not healed completely there is still scar tissue built up there... Hope you are ok!

Ham- Yes I think so, thanks

Joe- Me too- at least the set back is now and not a few weeks from a big race. I cancelled my early June 5k and I am debating canceling a half marathon... neither are key races for me, just part of my summer training plan. So a week off is not good, but really the timing is better than it could be

IJR- No, I don't think its either. I knew I was not 100% going into Boston preparation, but did not want to miss it so I did everything I could to make it. I think my body just wasn't ready for full bore training and this step is just necessary. I pray it is short though :)

Oh my. Were in the same boat! Rest rest rest! My quad hurt bad last summer. I rested for 1 week, used the E-stim, massage, iced and rolled. Wall-lah! I got better. It was a miracle! We will keep each other chipper until we wade through these set backs! I've got your back!

From Dan on Sat, May 05, 2012 at 21:30:16 from 24.209.83.20

Lily- Yes we are in the same boat, and I like your plan! Sounds like we have the treatment and rest lined up, what we need is some good food...

Hope the new doc is getting things in sync ... thoughts & prayers are with you bro!

From Dan on Tue, May 08, 2012 at 21:44:12 from 24.209.83.20

Thanks Jon... I'm impressed with my doctor so far, hope to have more tomorrow, third treatment.
