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.

2.5 Painful miles. PT still going and she has me doing exercises/nerve stretches every 2 hours. At moments it eases up and others are tough to keep moving. *IF* I can't make it worse, I may try and gut out some miles these days. Next PT appointment is Tuesday, hoping for improvement.
