I saw the physio yesterday and she was really pleased with my progress - my back is pretty much mended (apart from the odd twinge when I do one type of movement!) so that is great! Unfortunately I seem to now have symptoms of SPD - she was had a feel down there, and said my pubic bone is swollen and slightly out of alignment - great! She gave me exercises to do which should stop the back problem recurring and hopefully help SPD too. Anyway, keen to do it right, I did the exercises before bed last night and feel in to a deep sleep. This morning however, I woke with awful cramps in my lower abdomen... it didn't take long to work out it was just muscle soreness from the exercises (on hands and knees, pulling tummy up and in...) as when I came downstairs I could barely walk (butt strengthening exercises too!) So this is the problem of not having exercised in months - the slightest little exertion is killer!
I'm off to the docs later to see if they'll sign me back on to work. It's half term Friday and Monday, so taking sick leave then seems silly, and I have a really slack day on Thursday (I only teach 4 lessons out of 9!) so I thought that would be a good time to go back and get my classroom sorted out before I have the joy of a nine lesson day on Tuesday! Now it's time to take the car down the road to have a slow puncture fixed - the fun just never ends!
