Today is a sore day. I pushed my yoga routine too far last night and felt something in my shoulder pop as I came out of a really deep pose. That pop (which created enough pain just from whatever specific damage I caused that led to the pop) has started a chain reaction in my body as the nerves involved overreacted, and then the nerves around those overreacted, and so on. I really just want to curl up in a ball and cry.
I'm having trouble finding a good balance with my routine. I have a set of poses that I try to do every day and most days they don't cause me any trouble. But I'm bored of the routine and feeling a need to challenge the pain with some more difficult poses. So far every time I branch out I end up hurting myself because it is so damn hard to tell the difference between the fibro pain and new pain and I end up pushing too hard unintentionally. The idea of 'if it hurts back out' doesn't apply because if I did that I wouldn't move at all! :P
