arachne8xI am a firm believer in no pain, no gain. But this is getting ridiculous. I talked to my therapist today and she and I are both puzzled why things are not going better. My strength is certainly increasing and I do feel more mobile than I did when I got there. But I still can't dance for more than a few minutes before I am in pain and I am often sore after therapy. I can't tell if I am pushing myself too far or not. I am not sure what the difference is between pain and feeling sore either. My leg does not feel like I worked it out too hard... it almost feels a little reinjured. I am not sure.
All I know is that it is frustrating to spend so much time in therapy with so little effect. I really want to be better and I am tired of not getting better.
I wonder if I should go back to the doc. If there may be something else wrong that we are not taking care of. That is what happened to me when I had shoulder problems. I wonder if that could be the case here.
Why is is that so many of my friends refuse to take good care of themselves? When you hurt your back take anti-inflammatories. No really, do. They are not just painkillers, they are drugs that keep down inflammation. Bringing down inflammation can often be essential in the healing process. Trust me I know. I have been injured many times before.
I feel like I will never come out of this one, And its so ridiculous. One jumping jack during a normal workout and my leg is shit. Somedays it is so frustrating that I want to hang my head and cry. I just want to be able to dance again. I want to be able to teach the man in my life to dance and to feel strong again. I don't want to run a marathon, just go to the gym and work out. I am so tired of this and sick of being in pain. I wish I knew what to do.
