Hey,

Just a few days later, and I'm logging on to say a big thank you. I know one of the frustrating things for medical professionals is when a patient doesn't take the advice and then complains of a lack of results.

But I've done the stretches as you suggested here, and I'm really impressed with how quickly they've made a difference. I have less pain, more mobility, and for the first time in 4-5 weeks, feel confident this annoying injury won't plague me forever.

I checked this with a friend who is an osteopath, too, and he seconds everything you said in your list. On your recommendation, I left out the elliptical trainer. We're traveling (visiting family), so the exercise bike isn't available to me this week. So I'm making due with resistance exercises.

Might start incorporating some walking today. I think I'll be able to start up a very light (interval) running schedule next week, careful to pay attention to how it's feeling, etc.

Anyway, I just want to reiterate that this is working. Anybody who seeks this out in the same way I have out to bookmark this page. Thanks again!
