Third Physio visit.
Quick recap - Have been to consultant who has refereed me to another physio. Bottom two vertebrae locke together causing a stiff back and damaging ligaments etc. A stiff hip which has been caused by weak hip muscles, this is causing more pain in the hip.
Have been doing specific exercise for last two weeks.
Have been on three 35 min bike rides in last week, hip has felt OK on all of them.
Exercises had been going well, chasing the extreme pain was working although painful.
Played heads and volleys on Saturday, this aggravated my hip but not my back.
Physio was impressed with how my back has loosened up and was encourage how it did not hurt after the football. She explained that the big problem i have at the moment is the weak hip muscles which is causing the pain so i need to strengthen this (she gave me another exercise) as well as carrying on others. She did say that the hip had starten to loosen up.
I need to carry on with the biking and start to swim (15 Min's max) and concentrate on keeping core muscles strong in bike and swim. She was encouraged but said it would be at leats another three weeks before we can think about running. Made another appointment in two weeks
