L Torso, Lower Back Pain
2007-05-04 – 2007-05-24
Grade: 3
4 May07 - Possible flair up of SI Joint Disfunction. Still no real determination of cause. MRI is scheduled or 14 June 07.
10 May 07- Rode the bike for the first time since the injury. Didn't seem to be any worse afterwards.
14 May 07- Rode again but this time the ride was more intense and consequently so was the pain.
Pain is worse in the morning with reduced ROM. Gain additional ROM throughout the day but the pain is ever present if I'm on my feet for any length of time.
24 may 07 - It seems that I can perform any of the various activities I like to do such as weight liting, biking & kayaking. I have not tried hiking yet. My major problem is simply standing and walking. I can not stand for longer than a few minutes without significant pain. It has been 3 weeks since the flair-up and It does not seem to be getting better over time. Morning stretches and evening hot tub soaks alleviate the symptoms only. It seems that this again, is the new normal of my life and is resulting in yet another decrease of my overall quality of life. Hopefully the 06/14 MRI will indicate something that the doctors can actually treat.
