Oh, I have self-diagnosed myself with ITBS. This afternoon I have an appointment with my awesomesauce massage therapist, who has been helping me with my shoulder injury. I will ask her to turn her bad-ass hands loose on my IT band and work her magic. It's kind of sad: I really can't run right now without aggravating it. In fact, I can't really walk down the steep hill to my bus stop without aggravating it. I'll be following the recommendations on the page I linked to, above. Most especially, I'll be heading out to get a foam roller this evening, as that, and ice, feel like what will help the most. (I'm not a doctor, but I watch them on TV.)
I really hope this doesn't screw up my plans to run that 5K on 8/18 with my daughter. Grr. I've sort of goofed up my running training by jumping right into that half-marathon last month. But jumping right into that half-marathon was exactly what spurred me into being really interested in running! It's a real chicken or the egg thing, I suppose.
Don't mind me...I am T-I-R-E-D and a bit loopy. :) I attended a lunch time seminar (food allergens and testing) and I actually fell asleep in the crowded conference room! Not sure what's going on. I can tell you, however, that I *completely* forgot that I am dairy- and gluten-free this week and I got a taco salad with cheese and sour cream. O-M-G I am so lactose intolerant! Puffed up like a holiday parade float.
My nearly seven-year-old needs a root canal, his father told me this morning. Who knew they did root canals on baby teeth? Why does he need a root canal? Oy, this child's teeth are made of putty, I tell you. Not even seven and we have spent a fortune on his teeth. Apparently, pulling a baby tooth molar is bad news, creating all sorts of problems regarding tooth spacing as his permanent molars come in in several years. I didn't have him at the dentist, so I'm getting second hand information. Both X and my daughter report that the little guy was up most of the night screaming and/or crying in pain from a tooth infection.
*Yawn.* Is it the weekend yet?

Have you spoken to your doctor? It's easy to self diagnose, but the internet isn't always correct. In the meantime, I hope everything works out with the massage therapist and that you're able to run the 5K.
ReplyDeletemy daughter had a root canal when she was almost 4. She has a silver cap on it that will come off when her adult tooth pushes through.
ReplyDeleteNo itband issue - NO!
I'm not a doctor, but I watch them on TV...thanks for the laugh today. I seriously hope that issue clears up because it sounds PAINFUL!!! Sorry about your little guy, dental issues for kids is never any fun.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever tried an elimination diet? I did that to see what I was sensitive to... no wheat, no dairy, no sugar. Add things back in one at a time--both dairy and wheat hate me, and I still eat them, but at least I know!
