OK. Two stages to this post. The first was written by Nick and myself together whist waiting this evening for Nick to have his sports massage. The second was written after the sports massage....
Pre massage...
Nick's overall view - A bit unsure about it all, I thought doing OK but physio not so sure. Heading back to see consultant next week on physio's advice. Chose to lie in this morning rather than get up early for physio exercises and this helped - no pain at breakfast time.
- Sitting - 'not bad', by the end of the day becomes a little problematic, meaning back, leg and buttocks sore
- Standing - if moving, OK. Dislikes standing still. Very sore and tends hunch forwards into wrong posture. Says it can feel strange to stand straight.
- Sciatic pain - has some pain in his thigh and buttocks. He's not sure of it's sciatic pain or not.
- Straight leg raise. Yesterday, before warm up about 40-50 degrees, after warm up about 60 degrees. Muscle tightness and a little pain in thigh is restrictive aspect
- Exercise. Done a few sessions of tennis, about 20 minutes each although feels that he may have overdone it. Tried football - not a good idea.
- Physio exercises - no change.
- Bending forwards - in physio yesterday managed a few inches past knees.
- School - managing full days days at school, but finding it tough to keep up with homework.
- Emotionally - says he's feeling 'alright, OK'. Happy to be back on court.
- Worried about the possibility of potential other problems.
- Feeling great.
- Achieved personal best on straight leg raise - 65 degrees
- Standing straight without pain
- Complete turnaround from before
Which I think shows you how his mood, state of mind and physical state can change so easily!
