06-17-10 - Gym (Cycling and weights)

Activity
20 minutes cycling and upper body weights

Meds
none

Supplements
Glucosamine w/ Chondroitin / B6 / E / Multi-Vitamin

Symptoms
so-so sleep last night. Symptoms really seem to be taking longer to subside. Feel the highly central, deep, root of the tree soreness more than anything, especially at night.

06-16-10 - REST

Activity
none

Recovery
rest

Meds
none

Supplements
Glucosamine w/ Chondroitin / B6 / E / Multi-Vitamin

Symptoms
A better nights sleep last night, but still feel the looming vague soreness when lying down or sitting for long periods. This is the same-old "root of the tree" medial tendenitis-like feeling. I feel like it will never go away.

Definitely feel that the right-side pectineus/pelvic tubercle area is still problematic. Not really sure if it is the source of the problem or one of two or more problems.

06-15-10 - REST

Activity
none

Recovery
rest

Meds
none

Supplements
Glucosamine w/ Chondroitin / B6 / E / Multi-Vitamin

Symptoms
Last night was a bit better. Still felt gnawing sorenes (again, deep, frontal, root of tree), but at a much lower level than Sunday night. Still feel the odd pectineal twinge when driving, so I know that part of the injury persists.

It seems that after some stressful event (E.g., running, swimming, etc.) it can take a good bit of time for my symptoms to subside (days). Today is Tuesday. The bulk of my activity this past weekend occurred on Saturday. If I am lucky, I might "feel safe" to try more activity tomorrow. But at this point, I'm not sure.

The Plan
Waiting on word about possible appt. with Philly doc

06-14-10 - rest

Activity
none

Recovery
a restful day

Meds
2 50mg tablets of Ibuprofin

Supplements
Glucosamine w/ Chondroitin / B6 / E / Multi-Vitamin

Symptoms
A terrible night's sleep last night. "root of tree" soreness all night. Sensitivity extended to lower abdomen (left and right side). Problem doesn't feel linked to the right side (pectineus region) specifically, but neither do I feel that that problem is gone in any way. Hurts somewhat when I sit for a while.

The Plan
No running this week. Maybe do some upper body weights and/or YMCA stationary bike

06-13-10 - Swim

Activity
Swim 20 minutes

Recovery
A generally restful day

Meds
none

Supplements

Symptoms
root of tree soreness persisted (low-level trough the day). It appears that swimming exacerbates the issue (esp. since my kids wrestle with me in the water)

The Plan
be less active during swims... hold off on runing during week, opt for YMCa stationary cycle.

Meds
Naproxen (1 X 500mg)

Supplements
Glucosamine w/ Chondroitin / B6 / E / Multi-Vitamin

Symptoms
Same issues: Feel some soreness when sitting (right-of-center pectineal region on the pubic bone). Felt very good after Yoga session, but general symptoms continued unabated.

TESTICULAR QUIRK - I've described one type of symptom as musuclar / soft tissue soreness / tenderness front, center and deep (root of the tree). I should add that this soreness seems to extend to my testicles. They appear to be unusually sensitive. It takes very little contact to cause a twinge of soreness.

The Plan
Not sure. Forced rest. Try to find a sports/groin specialist?
