Something seems to have turned a tiny corner with my leg, over the last four days I walked a mile each day. Today I'm tired and sore so I'm resting... but I'm done waiting for it to get better. I'm joining a gym again and going to start working out (with a few modifications).
Good for you Pax, I'm glad you came up with something that seems to be helping. I've considered using a cane for my longer walks on pavement (I use a hiking stick on the trails) as I seem to walk more smoothly with the cane, but I will wait and ask this specialist I hope to see next week. I can't TELL that I use the cane for more than stability, but I must since my gait seems better with it. I'm firing up my gym membership back up here pretty soon and the kind of exercises they recommend may help me decide which of the two gyms I'm considering. I can do a LOT at home with my kettlebell herd and Jungle Gym suspension system but I need more indoor options since I can't hike in the winter.

Tomorrow is supposed to be 58 degrees here, I'm off work and not about to go near a store the day before Thanksgiving - so am considering a hike tomorrow to go along with my usual kettlebell workout.
