Susanna had her visit with the orthopedist yesterday morning. She won’t need any special therapy or shoes or anything, as it should all correct on its own. Her hips are rotated in, her tibia bones are twisted in, and her feet appear bent but are in fact straight enough. No follow-up necessary. One less medical thing to worry about!
I’ve been having twinges of pain around the left lower back, the site of all the sacroiliac joint problems of the past two pregnancies, but this morning, I woke up in real pain–a sadly familiar feeling. A long, hot shower helped a little, but I’m going to be asking the doctor at my next appointment to go ahead and refer me to a physical therapist to start working on realigning my hips and reducing the pain. I knew it was only a matter of time, but oh, how discouraging it is that it couldn’t wait until my nausea subsided. One more medical thing to worry about!
Glad to hear the news about Susanna, but 🙁 to hear that you are now in pain on top of nausea. Sending hugs. Wish I lived closer so I could help you out.
…I also asked a PT I knew in the military (she now lives in CA) if she happened to know of any good therapy places near you and she said she has heard good things about this one: http://www.customphysicaltherapy.com
So sorry to hear that it is back! I was hoping the pain would bypass you this time around. You are such a strong woman, Emily. I am so very proud of you!!! Hang in there and I will be praying for you!
