I'm with you on PT, it can be pricey but also very time consuming in your day, especially when you have to drive to the office, wait, etc. I wish I had suggestions or could offer advice, but I really can't because I haven't been there. Still, I'm rooting for you to see improvements and be able to squat and lunge again but also run pain free because I know how much fitness means to you.

I am glad you are seeing improvements and hopefully the nerve will calm down. I have some nerve issues in my foot so I know exactly that tight feeling you are describing. I only get it when I move my foot a certain way and have been told it should heal but it could take months. I am super skeptical right now about getting better. On the one hand, I want to believe it and hang onto the doctor saying I will run again, but I fear going out and taking a step and having that familiar ache pop up again. I wish I could shut my brain off!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08177308883627646456noreply@blogger.com
