Note
(rest day)
Physio. New advice is to STOP running. No surprise, since after a couple of weeks' trying to introduce some short runs, the injury is regressing significantly.
Flexibility and range of motion is great - obvious to anyone - but the nerve at L3/L4 is being impinged. This could be for a variety of reasons, with a bulging disc being one of the less awful options; disintegration of the facet joint being the nastiest. We'll see where we go with the treatment but an MRI might be required, and then possibly surgery. Cha-ching, oh to have private health insurance. Still, you only get one body, and if I don't fix it now, I could easily end up not being able to walk without pain, never mind run. Anyway - positive thinking, it won't come to that.
