7 minutes on the bike while I waited for an elliptical to free up, 40 minutes on the elliptical, some leg stuff. Later 3 miles walking on the TM in the FF. So I had an MRI and a dr. appt. today. Did I probably waste my time and money? Yes. But at least I know its not something worse and I did everything I could. He said I should take 4-6 weeks off (already done 2! The worst part is if I had just done that right away that would be done by now!), PT like crazy, glute/core work like crazy, and go crazy on advil. I asked about medrol/predisone and he thought I was crazy. He said he wouldn't even give me a cortisone shot at this point either (not that I wanted one of those). So those things probably made the following exchange funnier: Doc: "I want you to take 3 advil 3 times a day for 2 weeks." Me: "What? THREE advil THREE times a day for TWO weeks?" Doc: "Yes." Me: "But THREE advil, THREE times a day, that NINE advil a day!" Doc: "Yes." Me: "But NINE advil a day for TWO WEEKS? That's... over 100 advil!" Doc: "Yes." Me: "But won't that hurt me? Won't that kill my kidney?" And he proceeded to tell me that no, it wouldn't, but in his head I'm sure he was thinking ("Look you crazy lady, you're begging me to give you steroids but are too worried to take a little advil?!)
