02-09-10 - Tues. - YOGA

Activity
B-ball warm-up (light shooting only); Yoga class

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?

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

The Plan

Recovery
rest

Meds
Naproxen (1 X 500mg)

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

02-06-10 - Sat. - RUN

Activity
Ran Firebreak on muddy trails, approximately 4 miles. Took 50+ minutes. Stretched well before and after.

Meds
Naproxen (1 X 500mg)

Supplements
none

Symptoms
The run was pretty good. I felt some deep, centralized discomfort, but nothing that stopped me from running. Later in the day, I was generally sore (not just "workout" sore). The problem came when sleeping Saturday night. Deep, central soreness (root of tree) made for a restless night. Woke up several times. Not a fun price to pay for 4 slow miles.

The Plan
Hope Sunday is better.

02-01-10 - Mon. - REST

Activity
none

Meds
Naproxen (1 X 500mg)

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

Symptoms
Day began well, not much discomfort while sleeping. Found that while sitting, right pectineal area was bothersome. This has not been the case as much. It is a recent flare-up since I've tried to walk/run again.

The Plan
Ramp up low-impact, non-running fitness

Question
I sit 10 hours/day. Drive 1 hour/ day. Sleep 8 hours/day. That's at least 19 hours sitting or supine. In reality, it's more than that. Can this be contributing to the persistence of my injury?
