Well, I am going to hit it again.

I have been on restricted exercise since September due to numbness and tingling in my left calf and foot. I got a new PT who asked about that right away and so, did not want me to do anything that gave me those symptoms. Well, that was almost everything!! Prior to having her, I only went by what HURT me. She said the numbness and tingling means a nerve is being damaged and 'we don't want it to become permanent'.

Anyway. I have made some progress in the last couple of weeks which is very exciting. I added back in the Torso Track and it doesn't seem to bother me. AND it has strengthened my core! I can feel how it is easier to do many activities and best of all, the numbness is milder. *crosses fingers*
