Jenscats Road to Recovery Log

[Gymgurl]

ahhhh Jen.....I think back to those days and it sucked! It will go by faster then you think....I'm suprised you can lift anything yet.....It took me about a month to do any upper body since it still hurt my knee! Hang in there just concentrate on getting it better and fixed lol....

I'm sorry about your injury and I know how hard it is to feel like your on the sidelines waiting when you really want to jump in and workout. Sending you well wishes.

Jens, all NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-imflammatory drugs) eventually cause stomach lining irritation and/or ulceration. It's NOT something to worry about, immediately, but I'm just suggesting that you use caution and pay attention to your stomach. 95+% of me believes it will be just fine, but I'm not sure what the sudden increase in usage will do (mainly because I'm not sure what a temporary acute increase in dosage does to an individual). I just know that long-term NSAID use is a problem.

Please, ALL ladies that are reading this and take ibuprofen, aspirin, or acetaminophen on a daily basis, consider finding out the cause of your pain and treating that, instead of masking it.

Dinner tonite will be a CHEAT as hubby & I are going out to eat (nice place) since I'm going away. May not have as *much* access to the internet as usual but I'll try to log. However - this may be a general cheat weekend. Taking the Glucorell & Sesamax!!

What rehab are you able to do on your own?
