Category: Pain

Since yesterday I proved that not doing my stretches didn’t stop the pain from increasing all day, I did (a slightly abbreviated version of) them today. Elbows still more painful in the afternoon than in the morning, but no worse than yesterday. One of the stretches hurts a particular part of the elbow that doesn’t hurt when I’m not doing them, so I’m going to ask my physio JoAnne if I’m doing it right.

Elbow pain has gotten progressively worse all day. I’ve been afraid of doing my stretches for fear that they might make it worse. I don’t know if the Alieve I took this morning helped any. The pain in my elbows is sort of dull, but it’s also slowly throbbing. If I had to pick, I’d say the right one is worse but every now and then the left one twinges worse.

Pain fucking sucks.

The Alieve I took last night must have helped. My elbows were ok when I woke up, but started hurting a lot as soon as I started typing. I haven’t done my stretches yet, but I’m afraid to.

Knees and hips same as always.

My elbows seem to get sorer after doing my stretches. Right now, I’d give them a 4 or 5.

My knees and hips are at their usual 2 or 3, dull unfocused pain.

I haven’t taken anything yet today, but I’m going to take some Alieve now.

I’m starting a pain diary.
