Pain once I stopped working out
So I’ve pretty much consistently walked or done some sort of strength training 4 to 5 times a week for years now. I’ve been going through a lot of difficult shit and definitely have been too depressed to be as physically active as I’ve liked the past few weeks. I started getting this weird ache in my legs that just won’t go away. And they feel very very heavy. It finally freaking clicked that this is the pain people are talking about. I know exercise helps with circulation. I have definitely been too depressed to dry brush and massage gun my legs lately as well. And honestly this realization made me cry because I’ve been to multiple doctors that told me because I don’t experience pain, I can’t possibly have this disease. But clearly I do have pain. I was just able to manage it very well. Thankfully, the last doctor I saw who’s a vascular surgeon believes I have it and just wants to follow up with me in a few few months. Why don’t doctors acknowledge that if you work out that can improve circulation and most likely the pain? I just feel like I’m constantly dismissed and it’s so frustrating. anyways just wanted to see if anybody has experienced the same thing when it comes to working out and pain.
