Sacroiliac joint injury (Update)

Saw a sports injury specialist yesterday. Felt a bit like a fraud when I filled in the form... 'what sport do you play', 'what is the name of your coach', 'what team do you play for'... Actually, writing this now I have just realised that I have the perfect answers; Sport: TT, Coach: Craig Ballantyne and TT Members, Team: Breakthrough Challengers. Don't you hate that when the perfect answer pops up hours later!

Anyway, the sports injury specialist thinks it is my Sacroiliac Joint. She gave me a cortisone injection which will apparently help determine things 100% ie. if it still hurts in a week then it isn't my Sacroiliac joint. I am getting heaps of support from my Doctor, Osteo and Kylie, the sports medicine expert.

The best thing is that I can resume some form of exercise. I refer to it as 'nana' exercise but at least it is something. Last week I devised a program using what TT exercises I can do and have been given the ok to do pretty much all of what I put in there for my upper body. Unfortunately I am back to the 80's for my lower body... leg lifts and that sort of thing for a couple of weeks. I can also cycle on my spin bike for 15 minutes (unfortunately at a slow, consistent pace for the next few weeks) and walking in the pool. Luckily I have my larger size togs from last year when I was recovering from my ACL op. Was quite amusing last year. Because my left knee was weak, I couldn't really use it much for awhile so I had serious trouble swimming straight ie. right leg stronger so I would weave my way up the lane. One night I had to share my lane with about six other people... a bit like dodgems.

Anyway, there is hope. At least I can do some exercise now!
