tylikAnd then there are the mornings when you wake up and it is excruciatingly painful to swallow water. Okay, this used to be semi-regular for me, it means that a bunch of muscles in my neck have tightened up a whole lot (at it's peak I'd sometimes wake up gasping for air). And if I sit up and then sip water slowly for a bit, I can usually get them to calm down a little. They've been on the tight side for the last week or two, and then yesterday I overdid it on these extreme sit ups in wushu. (Lie on your back with your legs straight and arms stretched over your head. Now fold your body in half, and slap your feet with your hands.)
But I figured I haven't done a thorough body log for a bit. So let's see... Tendonitis in my wrist again, probably because my shoulder tweaked last week (and it was doing so much better too). Not major, but need to keep an eye on it. A big ass bruise on my wrist, and a few burst blood vessels in the back of my hand from doing slap jump kicks. (Jump slap kicks?) A fair bit of soreness in my mid back (well, in the big muscles that connect upper and lower back) probably also wushu related. But alignment is good.
Alignment in my hips has been a bit iffy, which might be because we only practice the slap jump kicks on one side, or might be because my ankles have been weird. Not sure what's going on there -- they've slipped in and out of alignment a couple of times, seem to be holding okay, but are sore and mildy swollen a lot. This might be that the last bit of scar tissue is breaking up, and they're settle down the way my SI joint did, or it might not. I did hike on one a bunch when the alignment was fucked last week, which could not have done the hip and knee on that side any good. (Right knee is a little whiny, but so far when I work out it settles down to business pretty quickly.)
Hoping some stretching and maybe forms will get everything more or less working for the day.
Oh, and I'm still having trouble with the shinsplints. For the moment I'm mostly ignoring them, though, and hoping they'll settle down when my ankles do.
And to expand on the ankles -- for all their touchiness, I seem to be doing a better job supporting my ankles when I'm walking barefoot, which is a pretty big deal. This also means that the upper joints of my big toe are kind of touchy, but I can walk with my ankles straight on my whole foot, not just the outside. This could be really big. Probably not an end to orthodics any time soon, but really big all the same.
