CrapMrs D has bursitis at the moment too - and only 3 weeks to her Waterford marathon.
Same deal - anti inflammatory meds, rest. Hopefully you pay more heed to the rest bit than she is... Poor Mrs D. I'm lucky I have till August to get right. I thought the shockwave therapy was great. It's like having a miniature kango hammer on you. My physio used it around the hip bursa and I was getting pain responses in my outer knee and the front of my quad just like when I run. The main thing is to rest though so tell Mrs D she's not going to lose any fitness and the main thing is to arrive on the start line with a healthy hip bursa! 0 -

Day 11 - Day 8
The resting continues
Can't remember what I did on Thursday but was up at 4:30 on Friday to work horses and was going all day and then we had a horse racing Fri evening in Clonmel. She ran really well 
Was knackered on Saturday and I forgot to set my alarm clock. I woke up at 5:30 though and I got up and had my breakfast but then I decided I'd go back to bed so I never made it to Portumna I did make it to the bike shop in Birr though and I got power straps for the Beast. I had to try them out so I went for a 10k spin on the bike. I've been keeping up the stretching, usually twice a day sometimes three times and today I thought I'd challenge myself with some strength tests - chin ups, pull ups, press ups and the plank. I did the chin ups first. There's a stalls here for scanning mares and it has a steel bar about 3 metres up off the ground so I used that. You have to climb up to it but it's pretty ideal.
Chin ups: 23 Thought I'd get to 25 but I started to feel a bit nauseous after 22 and then I dropped off the bar after 23. It's not bad though. My previous best was 20. I took a one minute break and I thought I'd be able to get stuck into the pull ups but my muscles had no strength and I had to drop off the bar after 2
I went in and I got some fruit and natural yoghurt and I sat down for 10minutes and then I tried again. Much better this time.
Pull ups: 14 Previous best was 12. I find these harder than chin ups because I think I can use my lower arm more for the chin ups and that's very strong from riding the horses. Another 10 minute break and I did the plank next because I knew I'd find that harder than the press ups.
Plank: 2min 43 I did this on the wii with the balance board. If you shake too much or if you're pelvis drops it makes you stop. I was shaking a lot but I think my pelvis must have dropped too much because although I was glad to stop I thought I could have lasted a bit longer. I've done 3 minutes easily enough before but I'd been practising for that whereas I haven't done a plank for months before today. Another 10 min and then...
Press ups: 28 Delighted with this because they were proper full stretch ones. Thought I might get to 30 but it was not to be. Did these on the wii as well and it's harder because it makes you pause before you do the next one and if you don't wait for the whistle it doesn't count them.
Plan for next week is to start building back up the cycling. Back to the physio Tues afternoon and hopefully Monday week I'll be all healed up and ready to run 0 -

What can I say. I eat a lot. Have to burn off the calories somehowThis is the most exhausting non-running log I've seen in quite some time.
I have broad shouldersI don't know any other women with that kind of upper body strength. I'm calling you for backup if I ever get in a fight! I'm not sure you'd need any back up. Shotgun doesn't call you the tough hoochie for nothing

Monday:
Wow. Woke up at 4:30 with serious DOMS in my left shoulder :eek: I could barely lift my arms high enough to tie back my hair. Funny that the left arm was a lot worse than the right. And it's my left leg that has the hip bursitis. Is that because my left side is weaker than my right or because the right side is weaker and the left has to do more work. Or is it all just coincidence
Loosened out during the day anyway and thank god is was very warm when I had the horses out and they went easy on me because normally on a Monday they're full of beans!
Tuesday:
Physio again this afternoon. She dry needled the quads and tfl and more shockwave therapy on the hip bursa. I feel like there's a good bit of improvement and because I'm such a great little healer I get to do a small run on Saturday to test the water
Wednesday:
Bike: 30.5k in 1hr 25 min. Lashed on the suncream before I headed out for this. Was only going to do 20k but I fancied going a different way. I need to change one of the power straps because I think, even though I followed the instructions to the letter, that it's on the wrong way around.0 -
Thursday:
Bike: 63.5k in 3hr 5min
Elevation gain: 1,120 ft
Headed in the direction of the Slieve Bloom mountains today. I used to work around there and I'd often get lost on my way to calls. Seriously annoying if you get called out to a cow calving and by the time you get there the cow has calved :rolleyes: In the end my boss used to draw me out maps before I left the office. So with this in mind I made sure to bring a 1L bottle of water with me and some sweeties in case I got peckish.
It's no wonder I used to get lost. It's quite backward up there. The main road has grass growing in the middle of it and cars have to pull in to pass the bike. The signposts either say Slieve Bloom village drive, Camross or Coolrain and they all point in random directions. I went through Camross and a few km down the road there was a sign pointing to the right saying Camross 5k then at the next crossroads there was a sign to the left saying Camross 7k
After about 30k I realised I'd forgotten to bring my phone with me so I just did a small loop and then headed back the way I'd come. It was lovely up there with a really nice summer breeze blowing, the sun beaming down, lots and lots of trees and shrubs and the smell of freshly mown grass. I passed three or four little rivers/streams, a garden with a beautiful little miniature waterfall and two horse drawn carriages so it was quite an interesting cycle 0 -

Feic me! I can do about 4* chin ups in a row without a break, and a max of 3 pull ups. You're a superwoman - definitely!
*(...though this time last year I couldn't do 1 chin up, so at least I'm going in the right direction, all-be-it SLOWLY
)
Best of luck with the recovery. Looks like you're not letting it stop you anyway :rolleyes:0 -

It was mentioned to me alright that I may need to get the cortisone injection. I would only do that as a very last resort though. Knowing my luck I'd probably get septicaemia or else be in the <1% group whose tendon ruptureshi C_M, just catching up on your troubles with hip bursitis, i had that myself last year. got 2 injections of cortisone and back running within a week.
did ease back on grass/treadmill.
Have you had any bother with it since?0 -
Fri - Sun:
Rest. After the 3hr cycle on Thurs ecoli suggested I may want to delay the comeback and rest up for a few days. Complete rest was advised and I did my best to comply
Monday:
5m walk/run:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

you never believe this, a few days ago doling out the advise to you & now i find myself getting shockwave treatment for the same :mad:
even though i'm not convinced that it is hip bursitis, i told the physio that i had it before & now he's latched onto that.. i had a lot of discomfort on my last run, finding it hard to stretch the leg out.
i do have to loosen up all the hip area & strengthen it, the orthotics were working but i felt i didn't need them anymore.
how's recovery ?0 -

Tuesday:
Rest. Leg was a bit achey Monday afternoon and evening although it felt pretty good Tuesday.
Wednesday:
3min plank
Stretches
4m walk/run
1m rec @ 12:10
Strength routine that I stole from Ray's log. Thanks Ray
On Monday I was all the time waiting for the pain to surface when I was running so although it was great to be out I didn't ever relax. Today was better and I was much more confident running. During the 6 min rep my leg started to get a bit tight and it was uncomfortable when I was walking so I decided to leave it at 4 miles. I was going to walk home but I had loosened up after a few minutes walking so I said I'd chance a slow slow jog. Happy I did because it felt very comfortable and hopefully it will help the healing process. Had a look at the strength thingy on Ray's log and it looked good so I said I'd give it a lash. Sure when I'm not running much I may as well do something useful and I'm only on week 1 but it's pretty easy. Just checked the split paces there when I got home and they were a lot faster than Monday (9:12 v 8:03 average) My breathing was the same so I think the fitness will come back pretty quickly but I just need my leg to get better so I can run for more than 6 minutes :cool:0 -

career move wrote: »I'm back
Thanks for all the kind messages and emails and texts. I feel like a complete diva! I just was so down about my stupid injury and life in general. The final straw last week was when I couldn't walk for more than 15 minutes without pain and had a good bit of pain the following day. Time is not on my side .... Beast is four weeks this Saturday. I told Mike he may need to look for another hoochie. His reply was loads of time, you're tough, it'll be grand. As Claire told me I was unlikely to get any sympathy from a man who ran most of a mountain marathon with half his foot missing but I think the truth is Mike has lost his touch with the hoochies and he was just afraid of further rejection!!
So I'm still doing lots of stretching and exercises. Found a few good videos on youtube with exercises for chronic hip bursitis and I find them really useful. I did some research into protein rich plasma injection and I'm hoping to get an appointment to see a consultant sports physician in Santry this week.
Thanks again to everyone
pfft - amateur - at least when Running King/ AMK closes his accounts and starts again he comes up with a new name:D
Seriously though - delighted that you are back - would be a duller place here without you. Hope the injury clears up soon.0 -
