Aches and Pains

I seem to have a few little aches but nothing major. I hate complaining about physical problems.

My latest issue seems possibly related to piriformis or maybe an SI joint causing some irritation to the sciatic nerve on my left side. On the pain scale, it's very low. In fact, it really isn't painful but more of an uncomfortable burning sensation that seems to fade in and out on the left side of my low back and thigh area, depending on my body position. I made an appointment with a chiropractor in hopes of nipping this in the bud asap.

I am also still having some issues with my left hamstring. I think I may have some small tears at the insertion point so have backed off of yoga for a bit for fear of causing more harm. And then there's my left knee. Sometimes I get a sharp pain at the top of my knee cap when climbing stairs or running up hill.

Interesting how all my problems are on the left side -- something must be out of whack.

Tomorrow is my long run of 11 or 12 miles and I've been trying to find someone to run with. Hoping it goes as well as last week's 15.
