After that amazing hill run my sacroiliac joint was very, very sore. I resorted to Voltaren and Panadeine for a day or two, which shifted the worst of the pain. I was able to get through Express Fit on Thursday – with some modifications to some exercises, and I also had an extra Yoga session on Friday evening.
On Saturday I umpired three netball games, and played one. No pain while playing – probably thanks to the Voltaren!
On Sunday I went to they gym for some rehab exercises – squats, clams, side leg-raises, etc. I woke up on Monday pain-free – and decided on one more rest day. BUT some pain was back on Tuesday morning! It felt a bit different – more stiffness than injury, I hoped. Another trip to the gym…. I hopped on the treadmill, walked about 1/2 km then transitioned into a jog – all the pain went as soon as I moved from walking to jogging!?! I decided not to push my luck, and restricted the jog to 3k, then did the rehab exercises and stretching. Also added the hot-cold treatment under the shower – seems to be OK, just a little sore.
Will go to Yoga tonight, then see how I feel in the morning before deciding whether to risk a hill run…
