My PT also told me to stop running on the shoulders of the road, which I did for the entire winter and most of spring due to snow and ice on the trail. I also noticed mine get worse when I ran hilly routes.

It did me in. PT for 2 months and a near nervous breakdown. I now have a set of exercises that I do a few times a week and am foam rolling as much as possible. I recently tried PiYo Lower Body workout and low and behold, my PT exercises were on there. Could have saved me a ton of money!! I also got to take steroids for a week and that seemed to help initially but then it came back. Strengthening and stretching are the KEYS!!!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02952864999613084540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-15114615069955473572014-07-03T07:21:19.960-04:002014-07-03T07:21:19.960-04:00It's just a laser they move over the areas you...It's just a laser they move over the areas you're having pain. It doesn't hurt, just a slight warm feeling. The hubs has only had two treatments so far and the doc said it takes about 6-8 to feel noticeable relief. I actually had it done on my second Lab (yup, the mutt!) when she was 13. For a few days after each treatment, she actually moved a lot better...other than the melon sized tumor on her hip. What IS it with Labs and darn tumors, anyway?Kimberley@Black Dog Runs the Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12088843807966291592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-53908650590084694052014-07-03T00:22:25.844-04:002014-07-03T00:22:25.844-04:00I knew you have been having problems, but I didn&#...I knew you have been having problems, but I didn't know until today that it has been going on as long as it has!
