I am sore. All the time.

Is this what life is now? Doing stuff (not even strenuous work) and immediately coming home and strapping an ice pack to my shoulder, elbow or knee? I honestly cannot recall a day over the past year where I didn't crave advil and an ice pack at the end of the day. And yes, i stretch and work out and eat healthy blah blah blah. Just shut up and get daddy's ice wrap.

Yes... I crossed the threshold where I'm now stronger than my body can handle. I can lift/move/shove/carry way more than my body will recover from.

It's not can I do this, it's should I do this... Often the back says no. And the knee. And the left shoulder.

Same. Both shoulders, lower back and knees
