So for example, if you've been an athelete, can you go back to being an athelete? I'm curious about the end state. I can deal with three months of pain and discomfort. I just want to know if I can live my life the way I want (without being foolish of course).

In 03 when my many RSI sx ( hands, wrist, elbow, shoulders, neck, upperback..) all decided to merge together
I was pretty messed up for awhile. No extreme pain or pain meds but a lot of weird sx and discomfort. My hands quit working for awhile - I could still do large motions but small detail use, repetitious, or strength was out. I mean kinda scary when you can barely turn your arm/hand/ wrist to wipe....
Just saying this so you know it can get bad, but you can recover.
I'm a 55 yr old lady now & mostly out of shape
But....
I can again drive my tractor, rototill, do all kinds of remodel/construction/painting, yard & gardening, carry hay bales & other heavy stuff.
For the heavy lifting now my low back gets affected after a full day, but it usually resolves after a day or 2.
My handwriting still is messy but who cares about that LOL.
My shoulder is still a bit messed up, might be due to a separate old injury - I can't throw a ball overhand or hit a tennis ball overhand, but I can live with that.
What sports or activities are you considering for the future?
