Tips For Being Active When in Pain
If you know me, you know how active I am. I'm very vigorous with daily life. I hike, take Brazilian jiu-jitsu, cycle, and mountain bike. The only bad thing about being active, is that eventually, it starts taking a toll on your body. I am someone that deals with knee pain, but there are some things I do to help stay active, even while dealing with knee pain.
Drink lots of water
Something I do try and help the pain and keep my body from swelling up even more is drink lots of water. Water is the most natural way to stay hydrated and keep your body as healthy as possible. Plus, with being active, drinking water is just all around good for me.
Don’t sit out
As much as it hurts, don’t sit out. Find things to do that won’t put you in pain, but that will keep you feeling active. For example: when I’m hurting, I walk instead of run. Sitting out on the sidelines is no fun! With my knee hurting, there are times I try to convince myself to not sit out, but I get out there and still do it. Finally, talking to a doctor who could help me was the best thing I could do for my knee pain. I HIT PLAY on my life and it was the best thing I could have ever done. Keep reading to find out what this means!
