Delayed Pain

Hi.  I find while I will generally ache or otherwise feel an activity a couple hours after doing it, the majority of the pain from it manifests itself nearly exactly 72 hours after whatever I did.  And 3 days is just long enough to forget what you'v been up to so I keep a list of what I do each day so when the pain hits, I can look back and go "ooooohhh"...that's what it's from.  For instance, I cleaned the fridge Sat which I hate doing cuz of what it does to your neck, legs from getting up and down so much, etc., but sometimes it just has to get done, right?  So I can expect to have a migraine from all the arm work or other extra pain/triggerpoint issues on Tues.  Does anyone else have this much of a delay?

 

I'll have to watch more to see if I notice what you notice. Sometimes there is so much overlap, it's hard to tell, yanno? I've tried to do a little each day but you know how that goes...you get half the bathroom clean, can't finish it, feel like guano the next day and by the time you get back to it, the whole thing needs to be done again :)

Yes, I do know! Last night I think I may have stopped before the critical point. I loaded about 5 plates in the dishwasher, wanted to do one more, but realized that would be just too crazy a thing to do. We'll see if I came back to my right mind in time.

Why? I wish I knew. This is the most nutso condition.

I have noticed it happening to me. We tend to plan anything that takes more energy or walking (i have a mobility issue from broken ankle I had years ago) for days when I can recuperate the next day or so. For example 4 of went to Harrahs casino in Cherokee NC this weekend. We went (several hours of in the car and a lot of walking when we got there). I did not take my wheelchair that I sometimes use cause not sure how easy to use in the casino. We decided Sat would be best so I could rest on Sunday and be able to go to work today (Monday). I am still hurting pretty bad but with meds I can go to work and make it through the day, (knock on wood). It is hard if I get asked to work on Saturdays, cause that i the day we plan any running around. Hard for other people to understand that.
