Just when I was thinking that my life could start getting back to normal my body throws me curve ball. Since last Wednesday I’ve been having pain in my right buttock, which has gotten worse each each day. Yesterday during the day it was mostly gone but at night it got so bad I could hardly walk. I made an appointment with my doctor this morning.
It turns out my S.I. joint is acting up. Most likely because I’ve been moving around and walking differently since my appendicitis operation (to avoid pain in my sore belly) three weeks ago.
So now I have to “marinate myself in painkillers” (paracetamol 4 times a day and ibuprofen 3 times a day), keep the S.I. area warm, keep moving but not so much it hurts and try to avoid bending. In a week it should be a lot better if not completely gone. But if my pain stays so bad I have to get morphine, which my doctor wants to avoid.
I’m so frustrated, I just want to get back to normal. For today I had planned to start cycling again and slowly build up the length of exercise again. Hopefully I’ll heal quickly because I don’t want it to ruin my vacation in three weeks time. Because, darn it I deserve a nice vacation after these past six months.
