Sick As Hell And In Pain
Here I am lying in bed sick as hell. I feel like I was run over by a semi truck. I called off from work today and went to the doctor. Boy was I glad when she gave me some good drugs to make me feel better.
Then to top it all off I am suffering from a workout induced injury. It is a self inflicted wound from a recumbent bike. I was all warmed up from a 20 minute stint on a treadmill when I decided to change it up a little by doing some work on a recumbent bike.
It was supposed to be a simple 15 minute workout. I sat down and adjusted my seat, put my feet onto the pedals, and started pedaling. Everything was fine for the first few minutes, then it happened……a popping sensation from the front of my leg. I didn’t think much of it since it only happened a few times. It was the strangest thing, the pain didn’t started getting bad until two days later. And it has gotten progressively worse since then. Last night it was so bad that I could barely walk. So when I was at the doctor today I asked her to take a look. My doctor said that it seems that I either tore some muscles or I sprained it. She sent me for some xrays and told me to come back next week.
So I am hoping that I get better soon, and that my leg stops hurting soon. Lord knows that I can not take the pain much longer. And the only thing that seems to make it better is resting it and a heating pad. Wish me well
