May Workouts ~ Smoke

[Smoke]

Iced hip most of the day... feels a lot better.
Have a pallet of paper coming in tomorrow.... ugh.

can you describe the discomfort/pain in your hip ?

what causes it and how does it hurt ?

i do two exercises for the hips, the one more than the other.

figure four stretch (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=figure+4+stretch)

adduction-abduction leg swing. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTKb4VkZYqI)

take it slow and as easy as you can.

I’m not sure what I actually did to it. I was doing some yard work and tried getting my chainsaw going and thought I just over did it. Usually if I go to chiropractor I’m good in a couple days... this time I can’t seem to shake it.

Hurts on the top part of hip into lower back.
Getting a massage tomorrow so hopefully she can get the knot out.
Ice seems to help.
Paper came in today so I aggravated it.
Laying on ice now.

Kid worked on back and hip.... feeling better at the moment.

any tingling ?

spine nerve impingement

have you read the latest heat/cold healing info ?

give it a search.

[Smoke]

No tingling, just sore at the top of your butt on both sides.
Feels better today but still sore. 12k+ steps don’t help.
Gonna ice it in a bit.

[fish]

ice may not be good.

please do that reading.

Feeling better but being cautious! Worked all weekend...busy season came early this year!

[fish]

glad to hear it.

the figure 4 and leg swing helped my hip.

[Smoke]

10k + steps

[fish]

good for you.

[Smoke]

13k steps
Shoveled stone onto truck and filled pot holes after work.
Let’s hope the back holds up now!

[fish]

"shoveled stone onto truck ... "

i have some idea what that means.

i'll bet you are paying close attention to your mechanics,

and

i'll bet you have learned that "less is more" on the blade of the shovel.

Good for you, Smoke, that's great exercise, and hard work.

Really.
