Folks,
I'm curious how stress levels impact everyone's situation? I've recently been progressing very well with a stretching program. My pain levels normally range from a 0 to 1.5-2 on average...and this is despite picking up my activity in the gym. What's odd to me is this past week, I had to travel for work and there was a noticeable rise in pain to about a 3 level. I spent about 9 hours in a car (1.5 hrs in a traffic jam) travelling so I could make several presentations and attend high level meetings. No doubt I was stressed. I got little sleep. By the time I got home last Thursday I was really upset that my pain had increased. Now, on Monday, back into my daily routine and even post gym workout, my pain is maybe a 1. And this is not the first time this has hapenned to me. Back in March, I had to travel to London for a few days and I was a mess in terms of my TOS pain. Is this common? Is this "postural stress?" I really hate hitting these potholes and I'm wondering how I can manage these situations better. Thanks. KY |
