Usually, my overdoing it/doing something that I KNOW will increase my pain is a very purposeful thing......for example, recently goofing around in a 2 on 2 basketball game after a family gathering.....or dancing and raising my L arm.

I think the 'excuse' or 'explanation' is the same though.......sometimes we need to just literally throw caution to the wind and MOVE to prove we are still alive.....still want to do what we used to do when we were happy or angry and momentarily 'forget' our limitations.......although our bodies sure can remind us with added pain !

All of us need a stress relief at times.

I'll bet it hurt again when you had to bend over and pick up the keys !
