I haven't commented on this thread before but have been following it . . . just wanted to tell you to hang in there!

Do you at least feel like things are improving a little?

I'm not a professional health care anything, I just know from personal experience that it can take a LONG time to feel some relief. And it's frustrating when you can't have a day off from the pain and the limitations of your injury. So if you feel like you're in good hands, stick with the program.

I had a back injury a few years ago that took a long time to rehab. And it's just part of me now, that's something I've had to accept. I doubt I will ever NOT be aware of the trauma to that part of my body. So it's something I account for in my daily routines or any time I'm training for anything. I have to pamper it and condition it properly in order to do things that I love. And afterwards I have to be kind to my body and thank it for cooperating.

Good luck!
