My Lame Ass Excuses Me

Yeah, I couldn't resist the joke.

Something low in my butt, between my left hip and my tailbone, has been paining me for days--since Thursday? Maybe. Not entirely sure. I know it wasn't hurting *before* last Thursday. It doesn't feel surface-level--it feels like a tendon strain or joint that's being not-quite-right. It hurts to walk, a bit, unless I remember to consciously relax my muscles between each stride, and that's harder to do than you think.

Anyway, I've learnt my lesson about working out when I've got a strain--doing so makes it much harder to heal.

That said, I'm irked. Heal, damn it! No more funnybone pins-and-needles when I'm trying to find a comfortable way to sit or walk!

*grumble*

Funny...my butt has been hurting too. Maybe one of us has sympathy pains.

I like soaking in a cold bath before taking a hot shower to reduce inflammation. Also, heavy doses of ibuprofen for a day while taking it easy may give the muscles around that area time to heal.

I'm pretty sure mine is the tendon/ligament from my butt to back of knee that is strained.
