11.5 weeks

So it has been 11.5 weeks now since I began doing my Egoscue Esizes. I have done them every day, except for a 5 day period in March when my mother was sick and passed away. I would say I am walking about 80% better now than before I started my Esizes. From time to time, I will move the wrong way and my hip acts up, but most of the time it doesn't hurt and my limp is minimal. I am planning to send in another set of photos to Deb, my postural alignment specialist, for a reassessment and a new exercise menu.

I have been taking a CVS brand of glucosimine / condroitin which I bought at a 2 for 1 sale. Today I started taking a different brand, Osteo Bi-Flex. We will see if I see any marked difference. To my way of thinking the jury is still out on whether this supplement is helping my hip or not. My next step is to try some chicken cartilage and see if that works better.
