Hope

Thursday June 24, 2010
Saw a chiropractor today for an excrutiating cross friction manipulation of the hip flexor tendon. Apparently the "tendon golgi organs" fire to protect the tendon from damage and this sends the muscles into spasm creating pain. Few hours later and most of the hip pain has eased. Fingers crossed that this is the cure and happy running days are here again.

Cool,tendon golgi-itis. I hear that there is a small clinic in the Yukon which specialises in it. Can you fit a trip in?
Seriously I hope its a fix. Sounds painful.

You're making it up. Golgi is Korean food.
