PT and doc today, my regular doc sent me to a specialist and that is a good thing I suppose if I want to get rid of the pain keeping me down. Well after an hour of tests, stretches, video taping of my stride, massaging, poking and plain old jabbing at my nerves she thinks the problem is with the nerves in my lumbar area (L2-L4) and the femoral nerve.

I can't run yet, as she is having me do a battery of stretches and exercises every 2 hours. That should be fun when I am at work :) Hopefully Thursday I will get the green light to run and she will isolate the problem (and therefore the way through it) even more then.

Time for some more Doctor Who.

Sounds like a pain, hopefully you'll get some good news on Thursday. You are probably itching to get back on the roads.

I hope you get good news Thursday! Keep me posted if you can get a short run in.

Wow...pretty through testing. I thought the answer was always "just lay off for a x amount of time". Hope she can isolate the problem and have you pain free soon!

Joe- Yes I am! Soon I hope. Cass- Friday I should be clear to fun a few. IJR- Thanks, shes pretty aggressive in treating the nerves right now, hope to get out soon.

Good luck, buddy. Hopefully you can be out there again soon. You can always take up biking like IJR did. :-)
