A hot bath was in my future tonight, but then we went to do the week's grocery shopping at 9:00, and when we came home and put stuff away, we decided to flip the mattress (NOT a euphemism) and put the heated pad on it. I'm hoping sleeping on a heated pad all night might help with some of the tight muscle stuff.
Anyway, too much goings-on = no bath tonight.
And actually, it's 12:30. I gotta get my ass to bed.
Heating pads are good too. I can't really take a useful bath at home, so it's heating pads there.
Best thing about San Diego might actually be the tubs. I'm loving being able to take a bath.
Heating pads are nice. Wish I cold get one to solve my congestion issues.
eta *could. Geeesh, I really shouldn't type with a snotty brain.
Oh, baths are gooooood. Stretch, massage and hot water - best things for hips.
My hip pain isn't muscle pain, I don't think. It's more twingey stuff in the joint itself. That's different from what you guys are talking about, right? It's the thing that's worse during various points of my menstrual cycle and also before storms.
I've got tendonitis, actually. And hormonal changes can totally mess things up for me. When the tendons flare and get inflamed and mad, it spirals. So there's muscular and everything but it starts with the tendons and goes to hell.
And it goes in and out of alignment in the socket.
Good stuff.
I miss the rheumatologist that I trusted to stick a needle full of steroids in. The shots sucked and ached for a couple of days but steroids are scary magical for a while.
Oh, Jilli - you need to see this project.
And I think I want to make it.
