Acupuncture and Surgeon Appointment

Well the ultrasound treatment really didn’t make a difference, I think it’s too gentle.  We tried some acupuncture last night which was interesting…five needles in a circle around the hip and one placed in my butt cheek (gallbladder something).  Waiting to see how this goes but had a fairly uncomfortable and sleepless night after that, though felt better today.  I have two more treatments next week.

My physio wanted me to get in touch with my surgeon to make sure we were doing the right thing and for some guidance as to what might be going on and the treatment.  He said it could well be scar tissue and has suggested I make an appointment with him so he can check my hip and we might schedule an ultrasound to see what is going on.  So, appointment booked for 12th May. In the meantime he recommends stretching.

My immediate future (from tomorrow til Monday) involves  a trip to Auckland with snowboarding (first time including a 2 hour lesson ), a possible trip to an island bird sanctuary, a duathlon and shopping!  Eekkk.  I’m a glutton for punishment.
