The psoas is just a pain. Rest and leg stretches have me recovering. The good news is that it gets better. As for the gazelles, just think how much fun they are to watch hopping around out there to distract you from the other things that bother you. I kinda like 'em.

Sorry to hear about the injury - it sounds very painful. And are you tapering for something in particular? How’s the chocolate/candy non-consumption going?

Sorry to hear about the injury - it sounds very painful.

And are you tapering for something in particular?

The sciatic nerve has three branches. One brance goes down the hamstrings to the heal, another branch goes down the side of the leg along the illiotibial band and the lesser known brance wraps around to the front of the hip. A good acupunturist will solve your problem after a few treatments. The pain you are experiencing sounds like it is coming from the siatic nerve. The sciatic nerve has three branches.
