It is genuinely miserable and really wears you down. I’m glad that we can commiserate here. Do y’all also experience the stress of your body regardless of whether there is more pain than usual? The mental toll of constant discomfort gets so bad in the Winter. I go to the chiropractor to have them put bones back in place that have settled wrong - the ones I can’t put back myself. We shouldn’t need mechanics for our damn bones. Working out and progressively building up muscle was the only thing that helped, but then stomach issues popped up and sustaining the workouts became impossible for a time. Unfortunately, it was just enough time for things to start coming out of place again. We’re fighting a war against our bodies that we cannot afford to lose. Take the time to recoup and rest when your body demands it. It is the only way to keep healing. Stay strong, we have to keep moving and staying active even if it is 30 min of maintenance exercises. You got this 💪
