Wow! Yea! I can't believe it. This is the first run in a long time my SI joint did not hurt!! The lidocaine from yesterday has surely worn off and the steroid surely hasn't kicked in (doc and everything I read said 2-5 days)... but, it doesn't hurt! I felt like I could run 10 miles! I will in a month. I really think the lidocaine allowed the muscles in my behind to settle down. The SI belt was already helping and now this injection just put me on the sure road to pain-free running.
Oh, I had a medical professional suggest that perhaps my hip was telling me I should not be running. I responded "It hurts most when I am sleeping. In fact, the more I sleep, the more it hurts. Perhaps my hip is telling me I shouldn't be sleeping!" Ridiculous. Give me a break. My hip has always felt better during and after running.
