Let's fucking go

I saw a physical therapist yesterday. I had a virtual visit with my physician today. I had a 2 mile hike in the sun around a local reservoir. Now I'm listening to the Glenn Branca Orchestra on The Frow Show and my take on my health is: let's go!

The expert consensus is that I did not injure my spine, but that muscles in the left side of my hip have clamped down on a nerve. I'm going to proceed as if that is true, foam rolling, walking, and running through the pain, and not worrying about my spine cracking in pieces. I do have a little bit of numbness in my upper left leg and so I will not directly dive into long technical downhill runs. I expect that I'll resolve that soon.
