If you don't mind me asking, how was that injury-recovery journey for you?

I'm in the same spot — injured myself because I foolishly trusted an incompetent trainer. It's been weirdly difficult to pick myself back up; I'm still stuck at the "blaming myself for trusting bad advice when I should have known better" phase.



Of course I don’t. That injury was an inflammation because of overuse. I take it seriously applying prescribed topical anti-inflammatory medicine, however inconvenient it might be to do so for up to six times a day. I, of course, updated my exercise selection not to hit the same muscle in consecutive days, but to give rest days. I reduced the weight hitting the affected muscle to almost nothing and progressed slowly from there.

I hope you get well soon.


That is helpful. Thank you.
