New doc same Rx
Well surprise surprise its the same Rx 'do nothing and it will go away'. In anger I went out and ran a 5k the night after my appt. This was about all I could do before the pain just stopped me in my tracks. My first attempt at running in over 8 weeks. I asked the nurse if she felt I would do damage by running through the pain and was told that while I would probably not do damage I would just prolong the inflammation...at this point I think I could live with that! :) How could it be any more prolonged? (Is that proper English?...more prolonged?)
The sports med doc says ITBS and gave me a script for Decadron that I will be getting from the PT however I realize that is only going to mask the symptom much like cortisone would.
At this point Im debating even going to get the Decadron as it will really only help for a few weeks. Information on Decadron over the internet seems in short supply with the exception of sites that are selling it. So, if you know of any please pass it on.
I have a neighbor who is a naturalist who gave me a bottle of Soothanol X2. This stuff is like a high powered sports cream only in oil form. It kind of reminds of horse liniment that I've only seen people in Michigan use ON PEOPLE. The Soothanol makes the area so hot how could you possibly feel pain? Word of warning this stuff stinks but better to live with the stink then take a hot shower after application as it B-U-R-N-S! It does not say that on the label.
Im considering writing the tri year off and maybe taking up weight lifting because at this point Im just gaining weight and no one knows better than I what a dangerous position that is for me. Ironically I received a renewal letter for my USA Triathlon membership in the mail yesterday. I wish.

You look great!! Thats coming from an old high school buddy up here in Michigan though. You know I have never seen anyone put horse linament on another person and I lived here all my life. Maybe I just didn't live on Howard Rd. where all those hillbillies were.
Maybe you could lift weights and become the next muscle man USA. Whatever you do though I am sure you will succeed, look it how far you got in just one year.
Ohh Ohh. Intrigue in the comments!? Thanks for the nice words, except of course that whole hillbilly comment... anonymous stranger ;) Who is this? If youd rather not say in the blog just send me an e-mail.
