Yesterday, had appointment with sports medicine doctor. Have been applying "Traumacare" pain relief cream and Tylenol muscle pain and body pain pills. Doctor diagnosed me with muscle spasm - resulted from my very deep tissue massage - when RMT working on my upper back, I was pressed into the "board" I was lying on - that upset my right rib. Doctor prescribed me 100 mg Celcoxib - nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. He also suggested changing the cream to Voltaren extra strength. He said I should run and test it out. It could hurt but I would not be doing harm. He said I can go ahead with Sunday's race :-)
Ran this evening after work - 5 K. No issues :-) Didn't feel the pain near my right ribs.
YTD = 257.2 K
(15.1 K of 1700 K goal)
Can't wait until the spring weather arrives!
