I have previously written about the pain relief I get from cold water swimming. It is not a cure though, the pain does return.
This week I was lucky enough to get an appointment to see a musculoskeletal consultant, due to a cancellation, after waiting for several months. I have a condition called Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome, which has been ongoing for several years. My consultant gave me a steroid injection and has directed me to an exercise routine that he would like me to do for 6-9 months, so no quick fix! Yesterday I found myself pain-free for a few hours, soaking in the sun rays and swimming in wild diamonds!
If you have experienced this painful condition and have any advice about recovery, then please get in touch.
Thank you
