It's so frustrating. A week ago I decorated the tree and then shoveled snow. The combination of activities led to aches in my lower back and right leg. I've been uncomfortable ever since. I thought yoga would help me stay healthy, but I've had more injuries this past year than I think I've had my entire life. So is it too much yoga, aging, too much yoga and aging? The only position I've found that relieves the pain is a yoga pose called legs up the wall. I love that pose anyway--I actually crave it many days.
It's also possible that my pulled/torn right quad has never healed, and the snow shoveling in particular may have exacerbated the injury. My back no longer hurts, but I do still feel pain in my right leg and hip.
But i've also been doing a lot more physically this past year, and recently. I spent nearly a week cleaning out my mom's house, and did much of the heavy lifting. I know I should be more careful with my back, but I feel a need to do things, to be physically active. Especially with less of my time programmed.
