body aches

[cassidyrose]

I am sore today. I slept poorly, so that expains my neck and shoulder aches. Otherwise, I am just sore from dance and working out. My dance studio is closed for vacation last week and this week, so I have been working out in the gym at work more. On Friday I thought I'd try the recumbent bike just to see if it would be OK on my knees (cycling tends to be painful for my knees). It was OK, but then I also did the stairmaster for a while. Then I taught my dance classs. That night my right knee started really aching and I thought to ice it but figured it would be OK.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

Stupid me. Should have iced.

I had a rehersal at noon on Saturday in SF. It was cold and foggy which didn't help my knee much at all. For the entire hour and a half rehersal I couldn't get my knee warm enough for me to comfortable do a lot of the things I need to do in the piece we were rehersing (a lot of me getting to the ground and back up very quickly). I was very frustrated. I had another rehersal from 3-6 that day, but I got an oppourtunity to stretch longer and get more completely warm so my knee felt a bit better. I performed that night, and I think that my body is sore from nearly 5 hours of dance in one day.

Today my feet are sore, my ankle (the one I sprained a few weeks ago) is still bothering me, and my knees are stiff and sore. I am going to ice my right knee for a long time tonight, and maybe take a hot bath. Oh, and I should be able to get a refill on the Vioxx today, which should help with the pain. I am really frustrated with the pain in my right knee.

Thanks.

Yeah, knee pain sucks. It had been a bit better--hopefully it will be better again.
