Slept downstairs Saturday night. Slept on my side as usual when I sleep with Pa. Woke up with pain with movement in hip and left leg. First thought was my hip misaligned. Pain was tolerable, still walk Roscoe. Next day pain is way worse. Still go to work, luckily it was just for ROV so I could take it easy. Pain all day. Decide to see Chip, something told me it was not a hamstring strain but possible nerve issue. And it was. He said it was "rotated and tight" I'm guessing lower spine. He cracks me and says to come back if not feeling better in 2 days. His guess was that my left leg came across when I was sleeping and because I may have staying in that position for a long time that it caused the pinch. Next time, I can try rotating my body the other way. For now, "light exercise and moist heat." Tues, Susan tells me about this stretch she did when same thing happened to her. So I try at night and get a 'pop' which along with pain pills, Tiger Balm, and finding a good position for sleep, I feel better the next day. It gets better each day. Now about 10 days later, feeling 95% normal. Some tightness, and a feeling my leg length is uneven, feeling like I wobble when I walk. Have another chiro appt in 1.5 weeks, hopefully he will fix then. The first five days were really painful, no fun at all.
