I hurt. I don't know if it's from riding Lucy for her rehab (and being out of shape), riding the exercise bike (and being out of shape) or working out regularly at Butterfly Life (and being out of shape), but there's not a spot on my body that isn't whining about something.
I wonder if the rehab is making Lucy hurt, too. I don't think so. My saddle is even hitting in the wrong spots on me. But the potential to hurt her is there, so I'm taking it slowly, even if she's not.
An older lady told me this morning about how she cured her joint pain with some herbal concoction of things she buys at Wal-Mart, and I even went by there with the idea of purchasing it. But if I'm going to swallow something, I want it to look medical. Not like it was made in a commune. I was not reassured by the box. So I'm still looking for something for my aches and pains.
I found glowing reviews about Salonpas Pain Relief Patch on epinions and Amazon, and I'm intrigued by this pain-relieving patch. The only downside I could find is that you're not supposed to use them if you can't tolerate aspirin. But you don't come here for medical advice and I'm not giving it, either.
Still, if you fool with horses, I'm sure you've got old injuries and new aches. As my grandmother used to say, we all have a choice. You can either wear out or rust.
Flex-A-Min.
It is MSM, Chondrotins, Glucosamine, and Hylaronic Acid.
Available at WalMart, or at www.flexamin.com
We have been taking it for YEARS now, it is even reccomended by my new chiropractor.
Its not some herbal nut and twig eating "cure" for aches and pains, but a scientificaly proven formulation that will aid in the regenration of cartilage, improve your synovial fluid, and redice the swelling caused by constant irritation.
Worth a try! ;)
Other than that, I would say get a hot tub;)
