Listening to your body....to support the big picture.

Its been a thought provoking day. Today I finally did it, I went to the Doctors to finally find out what is actually going on with my back/left leg. To put it plainly, it is a prolapsed disc that is pinching the sciatic nerve.

Treatment and recovery looks like this:
  • Take it easy for the next 2 weeks
  • CT Scan and injecting the inflammation.
  • Taking anti inflammatories.
  • Have some light physio treatment
  • Acupuncture
  • A good and positive frame of mind.
This evening was rather uncomfortable in the pool with it and the running is definitely out but the jury is still out on the cycle. One suggestion is that water running with a belt would have some benefit.
