Your Body Has Pains That Even Make Even Superman Seem Human

Vinicent Holland · Tuesday, May 20th 2008 at 2:38PM · 300 views
Too many of us choose to be "tough" and work thru the various pains that flareup from time to time. I'm as guilty of doing that as the next person that's why I feel validated in saying that not every pain should be just worked thru. Sometimes we have to take appropriate action to give our body a chance to heal or begin the healing process. A warm soak or an ice bag or a massage and a phone call to your doctor just to be sure can go a long way to getting the healing started on the right track. I know many of us self medicate and grab the various over the counter meds to quell the rising pain and avoid the costly visit to the family doctor or emergency room. There are steps that we can take to do right by our bodies and we owe it to ourselves to take these steps.

I do know that your body doesn't forget what you do to it. You might get away with doing things when you are young and at the peak of your physical abilities but as you get older, your body will begin to revisit those "checks" you cashed earlier and you will have to start putting the "money" in the account. Aches and pains do come back to haunt you later on. How many of you hear that occassional grunt or groan when you or somebody you know goes to get up from a chair or off the floor if they happen to settle there for a brief period? The extra snap, crackle and pop of your joints when you stretch? Or that really unexpected shoulder lock up when you go to reach for something like you have for the last umpteen years? That's your body telling you it's time to start paying back what you so gloriously enjoyed early on in life but that doesn't signal a death sentence, it just means you have to start a regimen of taking better care of yourself and that most times includes going to the doctor to get yourself checked out completely.

What's that old saying, "you can pay me now or you can pay me later". That's how it is folks. So, I recommend that you get started on some kind of physical maintenance program and maintain it throughout your life. Work with your doctor to develop a plan that's right for you and whatever you do, don't cheat yourself by shortcutting the plan. Stick with it and when things get stretched or pulled to far, let your body recover properly. In a few years, you'll be so glad you did.
