Have you seen my right butt muscle???

It's missing!!! My left one works just fine, but my right one just doesn't want to fire. I'll explain...because my right side has not done much in the past 10 months, it has pretty much "died". I now need to re-train it to fire and start working again. I can tighten up my glutes, and can feel the burn on the left side, but I can't feel anything on the right. SO, my job for the next week is to experiment with different exercises to get my right butt to fire!. I think today I got it one time, but then it went away. My PT told me that this is normal, so I shouldn't be too worried. At least my right butt doesn't droop.

I have to say that my new PT kicks butt (literally) and I am so happy I switched to her. I saw her yesterday for the second time and she was impressed with my ability to get my femur head into my hip socket now. I worked hard on getting it in there and I'm able to about 90% of the time now. I'm doing my exercises regiously and have been to the gym 3 times now this week to bike, stretch and swim. All have been very successful and I have very little pain when doing so!!!!!! I'm a bit sore during the night and early in the morning, but I can live with that.

Let me know if you find my right butt!

  1. I think I found it! It's hiding behind mine-maybe that explains why it's so big!
