WARNING: this is a "woe is me" post. I ran a mile tonight and still have pain. The frustrating thing is that I don't feel anything until I start running. At least I can do my day to day activities pain free but can't run pain free. It took me a little over a year to get to where I was before getting hurt. After 13 months and 70 lbs later I'm sidelined by an injury. I'm not sure when I will be able to run pain free but I'm going into my fourth week feeling depressed and pessimistic. Sorry to be a downer. Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow but at this moment I'm doing everything in my power not to make a huge pan of brownies and eat it all in one sitting.

So sorry Amy.

Injuries are tough. I know some people that have had some success with prednisone packs from sciatica to reduce the inflammation around the nerve. Gentle massage and stretching might be helpful as well.
