Final evening I used to be engaged on my recumbent and did one thing not too good which aggravated my SI joint. I wished to take away the entrance wheel to work on it, and I don’t have a check stand, so one of the best ways to do this is flip the bike on its again. However I used to be in a rush so simply lifted the entrance of the bike off the bottom and held it whereas I launched the fast launch and let the wheel drop out. Whereas doing that I felt a giant twinge within the SI joint and it was in regular ache after, making sleep difficult final evening. By immediately it’s nonetheless fairly sore however slightly higher than yesterday. I’m hoping I simply strained the joint itself or a ligament or muscle (just like the piriformis) close to it. I’ll take just a few days off from exercising and hope it heals again up. I’m additionally carrying a particular SI joint belt just like the one I described right here, which helps the joint. I can afford the enforced relaxation since I’ve been figuring out rather a lot these days.
On reflection what I did was equal to sitting in a chair, holding my arm out regular whereas holding a 15 pound dumbbell, and leaning ahead. Just about assured to place pressure on the again space together with the SI joint. Now it’s me that seems like a dumbbell. You actually must watch out to keep away from sure actions and positions whereas rehabbing an harm.
