Dave I have been dealing with a pain in the outside of both my legs for 2 weeks now and have been ignoring it. It has gotten pretty bad. Well after doing some research I have found out that it is hip bursitis. It is inflamation from overuse. I basically have done too much too fast. I think between being new to shieko and doing too much gpp (sprints, runs, walking) this has happened. I am seeing a doctor tonight to see how bad it is. The main treatment is ice, rest and anti inflamatories. I am 5 weeks out from my meet and up in the air what to do. I know if I keep training through it, it will get worse and the worse it gets the longer and more severe the treatment. I want it healed as soon as possible. If I take a couple weeks off from squating and deadlifting will that throw me out of the game. The problem is I do not know how long this will take to heal. My worst case scenario is that I will have to do bench only, and if so I was wondering how I would change the program. What do you think the best thing for me to do is. I am on week 8 and have done day 1 of your equiped cycle how should I go about the rest of the program with the bench while my hips are healing. Well, first and foremost I'm not a doctor. What I do have is experience and have been through the same thing. The good news is if you can hang in there, this is the hardest week of all. After this week, you will start the recovery process (the volume is reduced) and your hips should start to feel better. By week 11 you should start to feel much, much better. I would not do anything other than walking on non training days to help you recover. Perhaps after the walk, some stretching could help too.
Another thought would be not to go above 70% on Fridays session so you would be more recovered for your skills evaluation on Wednesday of Wk 9. |

Not that i necessarily recommend this, but a cortisone injection into the bursa would probably sort it out right away...thats if it IS bursitis (you mention internet research rather than diagnosis by medical professional  ). I said i dont necessarily recommend it as not all dr's are amazing with their injections and bursas can be hard to hit. I had cortisone in my shoulder 'bursa' a while ago for impingement. The guy missed the correct spot and made it 100 times worse. I had almost a year off from benching, which is why i suck at it! |

I have heard of some bad experiences with cortizone shots so I am going to try and stay away from that. My doctor thinks it is bursitis, so just waiting on some test results to get back to make sure. I am hoping the anti inflammatories work in the next 2 weeks so I do not have to get a cortizone shot. Thanks for the response.

Dont get me wrong, if its done right it can be an almost instant wonder cure...But you really dont want one that aint done right ;D Good luck. |
