idk wtf I did but I woke up 2 days ago with this pain in my shoulder right inside where the shoulder itself meets my chest and man it hurts. It’s so bad in the morning I can’t lift my arm over my head. But as the day goes on (and taking some nsaids) it lessens a bit.
What did I do to myself?
100%, but it doesn’t change the fact that random things you could get away with in your youth like sleeping in a wrong position (and hence never noticed any problem to begin with) will now easily develop into nagging problems. It’s part of aging, more and more problems will come up and our physical capacity as a whole will deteriorate. Exercises help, but we cannot fight the process of aging itself.
I think we agree, I only wanna quibble over the word “fight” though. I can fight even if I know I’ll lose. And in the meantime I get to be more in touch with my body, and it’ll perform better and withstand the insults of daily life better than if I hadn’t bothered. I’m not trying to imply my stretches and PT can stop or reverse the natural aging process. Just putting myself in a better position to deal with what I already know is coming. Peace.
