Another thing. It's best to avoid severe overexertion (going from minimal physical activity to, for example, heavy lifting, bodychecking, jarring running, etc). The strain from doing this can really set you back. You have to up the activity very, very gradually - and then only after getting enough rest during the acute phase of recovery.
