update after 6 weeks couch /house arrest
I have been working 1 day a week and sitting around the other 6 days a week. Kept on my 2 crutches and started to wonder whether I will be decorating them for halloween--orange lights, cobwebs and bats. Went to the doc yesterday as my pain is now down from a 7 when I started couch arrest to a 2. He took a pelvic xray that shows healed superior fracture. I will go for a cat scan tomorrow to see the fracture better and to see the inferior fracture. Doc has told me to continue with core exercises and stretching that doesn't pull at the groin area. Doing light abd crunches, leg lifts,, bicycle kicks on my back, and some hamstring stretches. He also said it is time to walk first around my kitchen without crutches and then around the downstairs of the house. Feels the same--pain is a 2. He will restart me with very short walks---to the mailbox and back and then keep lengthening this as each day passes. Actually he thinks I am healed and only have muscle pain. I disagree so we will get the cat scan.
