Thanx HTD,
I agree that positivity is a must and I'm downstairs watching a movie with my daughter...like you the pain is BAD but as long as I don't have to move too much I think I can cope...it's still at an 8 but figure it will be at that for a while...I think some of the agony when I move is from the hems so I'm assuming once they go down a bit it might get easier.
It helps to know others have been this bad and have improved and I truly believe that I will improve too.
I agree that this pain changes who we are as it changes what we can do and consumes us at times...just hoping it decreases soon...I'm sure you will be back to running very soon
