I feel like someone took a grater to my thigh muscles and the left side of my neck is really aching. I have done that little bit before and didn't feel this sore, but this is the first time since I have had RSD. Is this a normal reaction to exercise??!!?!? I can't believe how sore I am after so little exercise; MAN I feel old and I'm still in my 40's. I know, I know,.....I'm getting there.....a little too fast for my taste, though!!  Ha! Anywho, any ideas on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Have a great one to all of you and God bless. I pray you all have a wonderful and painless day! =) |
Speaking of physical exercise, or rather the absence of, is something I talk about, a lot, with the pain psychologist I've started seeing.
I don't know what your situation is, and if you're good enough to be able to even go to a gym, that's good, but in my case, ANY kind of physical exertion is the worst thing for me. I lifted weights at Gold's Gym every day for fifteen years, and now I can't walk up a flight of steps. Really depressing.
Anyway, I would just urge that if there is any pain, go slow.
Good luck.
