the road to fabulous

all pain no gain

Thursday, November 13, 2008

two weeks with very little exercise took its toll on my body. not that i haven't been active, i just haven't been doing my regular exercise program. painting the house and taking care of an injured child should count as physical activity right?

anyway, i've been so prone to injury lately. first i twisted my knee while i was going down the ladder (when i painted the living room). it still twitches when i try to go up and down the stairs. i hope the cartilege isn't torn. my knee was bent when i twisted it. then i don't know what happened but just the two days ago my left hip started twitching too! i couldn't even put my left foot down without shouting from the pain.

i swear this is getting creepy. i feel like an old woman with arthritis and gout!

anyway, i went back to my walking regime this week and did some pilates too. the pain in my left hip disappeared, and the pain on my lateral meniscus has lessened. i still can't bend it very well. but pilates seems to help.
