One week until I see the hip specialist in Nashville. I'm feeling better and worse at the same time. Since I stopped walking/running almost completely, many of my symptoms have settled down. However, the groin pain and the deep gluteal pain seem to have intensified. Thankfully, I have been able to bike at an easy pace which has been a mental life-saver as of lately. I am very nervous that this doctor won't find anything wrong. It's a valid concern, considering the number of doctors I have been to in the last 9 months now. I just hope he's as good as his reputation is. I would really love to do some fun trips this summer/fall where I can hike, bike, run...get back to the good 'ol days when I would go for a early morning run, ski all day, go mountain biking, then finish off with another run and collapse from exhaustion. So fun. I would take just a 4 mile horsepark comfort run too :)
