Hey!!
I had a soft start on week one and now am in week 2. Just 4 hours/day for a month, I'm going slow, learned hard lessons previously.
I was so encouraged last week as very little twinging and pain. Today, being my "Monday", is not getting off to such a great start. Painful twinges in hip and left lumbar on walking. Maybe a 6? A few things that may be causing this: on my days off I do more exercises than I do on days on, I upped my lifting a wee bit today and it's rainy and cold as heck outside. I'll dial it back just a smidge tomorrow in case I've upped things too fast. I'm just about to go in to physio so I'll see what she says.
The good days give me such hope but I sure get easily discouraged at the painful twinges and associated spasming.
Thank you so very much for asking!!!!
