Its amazing how much smoother and better the PT exercises feel at the PT's office compared to how painful and grindy/pinchy they feel in my coldass garage at 530am despite doing everything i can to keep my body temp up by supersetting assault bike intervals with abs and PT exercises. Wrapped up my last peptide injections earlier this week, and will just continue on with MK667 for the next couple months. I think i did a lot of things right, but the 1 BIG thing i struggled with, and still struggle with is getting good sleep. I wake up sore multiple times per night still, apparently groan in pain alot during the night (per the wife), and apparently sleeping on my back (compared sleeping my whole life on my stomach) puts pressure on my bladder so ive been having to pee in the middle of the night every night for the first time in my life. I had a handful of leftover 5mg vicodin and would take 1 on nights i was particularly sore, and it was noticeable how much better i slept (both in how i felt, as well as looking back at my fitbit's sleep log)... I have dialed in my sleep hygeine as much as possible but its still not good (hot shower, no screens 1hr before bed, warm sleepytime tea, ZMA, consistent sleep schedule, etc). Every time i go back into the PT, he is always much happier with my progress than i am, which is a nice boost. But slow, painful, 1.5 steps forward/1 step back type of progress is rough. Just gotta trust the process and keep working at it head down.
