Stupid Leg

I couldn't think of anything catchy for the title, so I got to the point.

I cut my work out short today. Not only that, but I used less weights all around. I almost didn't go today. I feel pretty pathetic.

I don't usually wake up in pain. Mornings are usually OK: the 'healing power of sleep' and all. Actually, I don't usually have pain. I am usually just uncomfortable, with soreness and annoyance being my main symptoms. As of recently, my lower back was doing a lot better. My thigh was the only area still bothering me. The past few days I have been worse: My lower back has pressure again and it is painful.

I empathize and sympathize with people with chronic pain. I believe that I will heal once we figure out what is wrong/what the cause is. Others are not so lucky. For example, my mother has a slew of health problems including fibromyalgia. In case you don't know, fibromyalgia is a long-tern, body-wide case of soreness and tenderness in the joints, tendons, and soft tissue. For some, a friendly embrace is excruciating. There is no cure, only treatment.

I am lucky. At the worst, my pain has only ever been a five. As I said before, I also am not usually in pain, only discomfort.

So, there's your update. I'm having a bad day physically. I am looking forward to physical therapy today.
