So I haven't really been posting much on here because I have been busy with my 2.5 year old daughter and with the holidays I have just been on a baking spree. I love to bake little goodies for my close family as gifts. It is easier then going out to the packed mall and trying to figure out what each person would like for a present. And they family loves seeing what I have baked because it is always something good.
But my hip has started to bother me again recently to a point where I cannot put any weight on it. This happened to me last year when I started jogging and doing sprints. It however went away. But now it has come back fierce and I haven't been to the gym because of this. It has been hurting for over a month and I thought it was just hip flexor strain. It seemed that the stretching has made it worse however so I went back to the doctor and had an MRI done. Come to find out the results of the MRI showed signs of Osteonecrosis. It is a condition where there is limited to no blood flow in the bone so the bone starts to deteriorate and become fragile. That is what is causing the pain I am having. It usually occurs when people have had been on steroids/prednisone in the past and also having one of the following diseases listed; Lupus SLE.
Even though I cannot put any weight on my right leg, per orders of the doctor, I can still work out my upper body. But since the pain has worsened I just haven't had the energy to get up every morning to go to the gym. I have pain from getting out of bed until I go to bed at night and with a 2.5 year old it is hard not to put any pressure on it while walking or even getting up to attend to my daughter. I take a day at a time, that is all I can do. No excuses.
