I wanted to share the timeline of what I experienced so people could really understand the journey better, and just how amazing and quickly things can shift even if it is something that has been going on for months. This is not all the experiences I had, just the ones I remember from various dates I remembered
November 7 - feeling pain in hips, needed to put a cushion under my hips to prop them up to alleviate the pain
November & December
-varying degrees of discomfort, still able to sit for extended periods of time and contacted my team of helpers a few times as I knew something was out, needing help with the physical while I worked on and healed the emotional & mental
January
-still able to sit for awhile pain getting worse and mobility more difficult. Sitting for extended periods of time becoming painful and getting comfortable in any position difficult, pain moving from tailbone, down sciatica into my hamstring and calf
Jan 22 - had an appointment with holistic practitioner, lots of pain and mobility reduced, whole appointment was spent relaxing muscles and putting my body parts back in alignment
Jan 30 - massage, muscles very tight, muscles disengaged & weak, unable to touch toes, sacrum pushed forward, was suggested going to an osteopath
February
-sitting still very painful, unable to do for extended periods of time, and when I got up experienced much pain. trips to red deer hard as sitting that long was painful, and caused sciatica pain. moving and walking very slowly, flexibility reduced
Feb 18 - had an osteopath appointment, very stiff and in pain after the drive to Red Deer, cried when I laid down on the table as everything hurt, moving and changing positions goes slowly and painful, sat during my sisters appointment for 1 hour, got a huge stab of pain from hip into the leg and had to breath to through it until it eased off
Feb 21 - unable to make the trip to red deer as mobility and pain were high
Feb 27 - had a massage, muscles even weaker, mobility & flexibility reduced, muscles in trauma & survival mode feeling clenched and tight 24/7
March
-pain increasing and constant, muscles feeling like they are clenched all the time, moving very slowly, limited movement in hips and flexibility in legs and hips minimal, unable to straighten legs to stretch them, have to use my hand to put my foot on my knee on both legs, as my legs don't have the strength to do it themselves and it is very painful, putting on socks is challenging. Getting into vehicle very painful, many times resulting in tears from the pain, unable to push against my left leg to move my hips on the car seat, so i need to use my arms, unable to lift leg into bed, have to use my arms and grab headboard to move onto my side, can't use legs or hips to sit up in bed I have to push myself up with my arms, spend some days just laying on the floor hoping to find a comfortable position and barely moving
Mar 24 - had a zoom meeting, after sitting for 30 minutes my body got continuous stabs of pain so bad I ended up crying and it took over 5 minutes for it to subside.
Mar 26 - had another osteopath appointment, still limited movement, flexibility and lots of pain especially along the sciatica nerve, very stiff and in pain from sitting, moving very slowly, getting stabbing pains that stops me in my step and I need to pause before walking as I wait for it to stop, especially after getting out of a vehicle.

April 16 - still lots of pain, whenever tailbone and hips were put in they went back out. Still getting stabbing pain when walking that cause me to double over in pain when walking, walking eventually loosens things up until I sit again, suggested going to a chiropractor, the sooner the better, muscles in calf floppy and loosing muscle tone, excruciating pain during massage so much so couldn't get it done and was in tears from the pain.
