Slight (I Hope) Setback… – BionicOldGuy

Final evening I used to be engaged on my recumbent and did one thing not too sensible which aggravated my SI joint. I wished to take away the entrance wheel to work on it, and I don’t have a take a look at stand, so the easiest way to do this is flip the bike on its again. However I used to be in a rush so simply lifted the entrance of the bike off the bottom and held it whereas I launched the short launch and let the wheel drop out. Whereas doing that I felt an enormous twinge within the SI joint and it was in regular ache after, making sleep difficult final evening. By right this moment it’s nonetheless fairly sore however just a little higher than yesterday. I’m hoping I simply strained the joint itself or a ligament or muscle (just like the piriformis) close to it. I’ll take a number of days off from exercising and hope it heals again up. I’m additionally carrying a particular SI joint belt just like the one I described right here, which helps the joint. I can afford the enforced relaxation since I’ve been figuring out lots recently.

Looking back what I did was equal to sitting in a chair, holding my arm out regular whereas holding a 15 pound dumbbell, and leaning ahead. Just about assured to place pressure on the again space together with the SI joint. Now it’s me that looks like a dumbbell. You actually should watch out to keep away from sure actions and positions whereas rehabbing an damage.
