A Gross and Rainy Day

For those of you who live in the Northeast, I need not tell you about the dreary weather we have been having. It is cold and wet and just gross. Occasionally, when this happens, my hip will flare up. Not so much the actual joint, but minor problems I have had along the road to recovery seem to rear their ugly head on days like this.

The biggest problem is my residual nerve damage. If you remember way way back, after hipscope #3, I had a large patch of numbness on the front of my thigh. This slowly went away but was painful at times. On days like today, I have a lot of pain and soreness along the front of my thigh. It is also tender to the touch. I assume there was some sort of trauma to my lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and it is not fully healed. Will it ever be? Who knows.

I also had a bit of adductor tendonitis today, which I assume is also weather related. So this morning I was not a happy camper in hipville. Things have since calmed down and I am back to status quo, but it makes me wonder if this is something I will have to live with forever.....

throw a lidocaine patch on it when it hurts and you won't even know it's there! definitely one of G-d's best inventions!
