Got up this morning felt pretty good for once, so off to work I went happy that my pains were still in bed. What did I do? overdid it at work and am now suffering the consequences. Shoulder pain am in agony with sorting shelves out and a very painful right knee with going up and down the step ladders doh what am I like. Have had to take my full dose of painkillers today. Hoping the pain will ease tonight. :roll:

When will I learn :grin:

Love n hugs

    Hi Sheila,

    Have a nice hot bath might help ease a few aches and pains!

    I reckon we never learn, however much we try, we do get caught out from time to time :sad:

    rest up now and i hope it eases for you soon :smile:

    It's taken me about fifteen years to learn because it's a very hard lesson to understand. We feel OK so we do stuff and lo and behold, we're not OK any more. I try to stop when I feel I can do more but as I said, it's taken me a while to learn that trick: yes, it is frustrating but it works. I have not had any payback for some time now and I aim to keep it that way. Rest up now, take the dullers and I hope things ease soon. DD

    Hi, Sorry, its such a temptation to overdo the good days, I know from experience! Pace yourself they say, well yes but, when you'r feeling OK you kind of forget, well I do! :oops:

    A hot bath or shower, as suggested is the best thing and make tomorrow a much quieter day! Hope you feel better soon, lots of get well wishes!!! x:-)
    Love Suexx
