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 needed to take away the entrance wheel to work on it, and I don’t have a check stand, so one of the best ways to try 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 fast launch and let the wheel drop out. Whereas doing that I felt a giant twinge within the SI joint and it was in regular ache after, making sleep difficult final evening. By at this time it’s nonetheless fairly sore however a bit of 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 couple 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 understanding loads these days.

On reflection 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 appears like a dumbbell. You actually must watch out to keep away from sure actions and positions whereas rehabbing an damage.
