...A little bit of "down time" ...

I'm really struggling with this hip/ass issue ...
It's still buggin' me and not going away, as much as I try ...
Stretching, running, resting, etc ... all help, I'm sure, but they don't resolve the problem.

I went to a Sports Traumatologist yesterday.
He prescribed and X-ray and MRI ... got that done.
I just picked up the results:
What does the report say? Can't stand the suspense? ....


My rough translation would be as follows:
________________________________________________
COMMENTS:

"There is no observation of loss of vertebral alignment. The L4-L5 the disk shows signs of partial dehydration as well as a partial overall (global) distention with the rear half portion compressing the "hard casing" with no evidence of true significant compression nor any root consequences ..."

"Signs of overload on the "interapofisarias" L1 to S1 with no "foraminal" reprocussions. (Big words there, huh?)

DIAGNOSIS:
Grade I Degenerative "discopathy" L4-L5 with no evidence of saco-radicular impact/influence. ________________________________________________

Now, I'm no doc, but I think this sounds good ...

I think I'll be able to convince my ST that some good PT time will do me good to get everything more flexible and relieve some of the pressure that's reducing my range of movement and really draggin' me down ...

I go back to him on Tuesday to see how we have to tackle this ...
 I'm getting antsy ... and really REALLY want to run "normal" again ...

I'll keep y'all updated.
