Ouch! Really?

I know we love our bodies because they're the only body we have and I do... but I'm also frustrated so going to vent!

My body seems super ultra picky.  Which gets frustrating.

Case in point...

I went for a short wander the other day in my snow boots and the deep snow.  I didn't go far, I didn't rush, I was careful where I stepped.  I stopped from time to time to take pictures and the only reason the walk was long was that I was going slowly and carefully.

So... my body decided that walking in that different (unusual?) way was enough to make my knee hurt for a day.  Like.. are you kidding me?

I didn't DO anything!  I didn't fall down, I didn't run, I didn't twist it or tweak it, there was no injury, I just... wore different shoes that usual and so... a sprained knee?

And I've been spending extra time on these snow days on my laptop.  And so I have now to ice my left elbow because it has that tendonitis feeling from being bent that way for longer than it wanted to be?  WHAT?

Sigh.

I do take supplements for joint stuff and all that, so I am watching out for my body but it is frustrating to get owies for very little...

It just sucks so much when our body parts go out of warranty. :(

I'm having similar problems - lower back is sore and my knee is feeling tweaked - because of that extra caution and, I suspect, keeping all my muscles tensed walking on the slippery.

Excuses to soak in hot bathes and take drugs I guess.

I thought I got the extended warranty! ;)

And yes, baths are nice. I bet the physios will see a good few folks after this slippery stuff!
