Miracle Balls

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday I was very discouraged about my recovery from my muscle issue and today I'm encouraged. After doing more research and continuing to read the same recommended treatment of using a tennis ball under the butt and hip. I had been doing this but apparently not often enough. Yesterday I did it 3 times and the relief was almost immediate. I've also seen the chiro and will get a massage on Friday. For the first time in a long time, I am not aware of the constant annoying pain in my butt and feel very hopeful about that. It hurts like he** when I use the balls under my butt and hip and let my weight apply pressure to the tender spots. It's incredibly painful but the relief is worth it for sure. I can actually remove my shoe and get in and out of the car without pain in my hamstring! Yea!!! I'm still going to take it easy until I see the sports doctor on Thursday but am looking forward to getting the go ahead to increase my running as well as stretching and strenghtening.
