I went and trained upper body, but my tailbone has flared up, so the elliptical is off the list now. I don't know what cardio I can do. Osteopath said to do the elliptical and not treadmill, but I said I'm pretty sure the elliptical triggers it. She did say it's different for everyone. Guess I'll try walking on the treadmill and then see if I can do incline walking. I can't cycle or do the stairmaster either sigh

Osteopath said I need to avoid anything that triggers the pain or makes it worse. Which is difficult as it always hurts. She said I've got coccydynia which is inflammation of the coccyx so I'm also taking ibuprofen and have to ice. Then osteopath did massage work on top of my clothes and then a minor external adjustment

Without me asking, she said she doesn't do internal coccyx work, so if that's needed in the future, I'd have to go elsewhere. That's the finger up the bum adjustment, lol

She did tell me to do kegals, which I was surprised about as I was avoiding them as online said not to do them as it would irritate the tailbone. So i'm taking them slow to see if they cause any issues

In giving the clinician the benefit of the doubt, I assumed that he was very busy managing a whole clinic full of students, and didn’t have the time or energy for pleasantries. But in my experience with healthcare professionals, the good ones always tell you what they are doing and certainly ask your consent before touching anywhere that you might be sensitive about. I was not prepared for this, and particularly at a time in my life when all my triggers were super active, so it was very surprising.

One of the frequently occurring knee injuries is a meniscus tear. It is quite common and can be painful and debilitating. A torn meniscus can result from when a person suddenly changes direction while running. Any activity that causes someone to forcefully twist or rotate their knee, especially when putting full weight on it can result to a meniscus tear.
