Takes three months for things to calm as much as we don't want it to it just takes time an patience.
Sometimes and many times, less is more. Save your energy you will need it for the long haul.

Thanks Frank for the advice! It's greatly appreciated.
I'm just going to get light massage and walk from now on. No more stretching etc. My issue was always sitting with sitbone pain, so tomorrow I'm going to see a pelvic specialist to see if she can release some trigger points around my Adductors and perineum. I know a lot is distraction pain, but my symptoms are soreness and achy in those areas, along with my hips, groin, psoas, si's, and outer sides if my back ribs. I was calmed down last week but of course I followed the stretching protocol and it made me sore again. Once again thx!
