Day 26 P90X X Stretch Feb 15, 2012
Today is easily the most frustrating, and painful day of my P90X journey. Yesterday morning, my neck/back (near left shoulder blade) seized up, and I am in pain. It is a recurring injury that I am always fighting to avoid, but it got my yesterday morning after my workout and it limits pretty much everything I do. From the base of my head, all the way down to the middle of my back, my muscles are tight, and it is painful to move my head down, or very far to the right or left. I have had to set up an appt. with a chiropractor, which I will be doing this week. Last night, I took some advil, and went to sleep hoping it was going to be better this morning, but it wasnt. I was planning on skipping the X Stretch DVD today, and going to the Core Syndergistics. Waking up in this shape though, I figured a good stretch was probably the best thing for my body at this point, and so I did the X STretch. I iced my back last night, will do the same again tonight, and I am going to try and fight through this injury. I wont push myself to far though, if I cant do something, or I feel it is getting worse I will not push it, but I dont want to stop now that I am this far into it. I dont want to stop, and have to start all over. If that ends up being the case, ok, I'll deal then, but I feel like I can still do the work needed, or at least do the best that I can.
I am also going to start doing my own stretching in the evenings, to really try and get my neck/ back area loose, and then keep it that way with consistent stretching every day.
Fuck this sucks! BAD! I'll keep you posted on how I am recovering, and how I am able to work within the threshold of the injusry.
