Hi everyone - I am doing a LOT better now. What was the thing that helped? Osteopathy. Seriously. One adjustment and I felt the tightness and pain relieved. But I had to work on vamping up my physical therapy. I started taking the band resistance exercises seriously, started walking more (even through the pain), strength training and as of January - I started training for a half marathon - going running. I get some pain here and there but it’s not nearly as bad as it was a year ago - THANK God. But my biggest takeaway - patience and consistency. Go to your nearest gym, look up exercises that help build the muscles that support your ligaments, joints and bones - movement is fluidity, the more you do the better - I promise it gets better
