AM - Ran with Jake except for a couple walk breaks to keep problems at bay - 2.2 miles of running. I'm now at 7 weeks of injury with no real improvement overall. It's getting harder and harder to stay positive, especially because I'm seeing no progress. It seems less likely to me that this is merely a muscular issue. I decided to keep an appointment (that I was originally going to cancel) with physiatrist today just because I'm willing to try anything at this point. I'm getting tired of posting depressing and unexciting blog posts!!! But I know it's important to have this information in the future when I look back and say - thank goodness that's over! PM - Saw the physiatrist. He did an evaluation and could not give a conclusive diagnosis. I have too many symptoms that don't match up with reflexes, strength tests, etc. So we went over options - medication (done), PT/exercises (done), modification of exercise (done), injections, or alternative medicine (acupuncture, herbal, etc). So I might as well give the injections a shot, and the doctor performed the procedure right then...if this doesn't work, I'm leaving it all up to Teena Marie! :)
