More Trippy Progress

My weird but efficient and effective hip exercise is working, I think. I think I didn't mention it in my last post, but I've had fairly persistent SI joint pain* for years, on my left side. I have had less pain, or at least less awareness of pain vs. awareness of the pain site, in the past few days, than in a long time. It's not like it was super crippling or anything, but I guess I got used to a certain level of discomfort and now that it's different/less I'm aware of the spot that WAS painful but ISN'T now. It's weird!

I did my exercise before and after running last night as directed and noticed also that I was SUPER wiped afterwards. To be fair, it was also quite warm and humid yesterday--the dogs were very worn out as well. But I wonder if part of my fatigue is that my body is getting used to a slightly different conformation than normal. Anything's possible I suppose.

Two years ago I fell down the stairs and hurt my left foot very painfully; I couldn't rest any weight at all on it night. I kept ice on it overnight and it was almost fine after that, though my big toenail bruised spectacularly. But since then it's ached at times, especially after wearing heels. Turns out I may have broken a bone near the big toe; I just talked to a girl in the dance shop when I bought shoes who had something very similar happen to her. It was the kind of break that doesn't need set or support.

Anyway, I finally mentioned it to my chiropractor a few weeks ago and he ended up adjusting a bunch of things that didn't need attention in the other foot. Since then it's felt VERY different! Hurting in new ways, particularly. But my mind boggles at understanding how many things my foot and body have been adjusting to over the last two years. And now they're all adjusting back! It's definitely an odd feeling. I would be surprised if you *didn't* feel residual effects.
