Ordinary Day

The pain tolerance thing...yeah. Living with chronic pain is "just one of those things." I don't like taking pain meds because when you come off of them you start to realize exactly how much pain you are in.

You're probably not going to run into too many exercises that don't engage the chest muscles to some capacity. Walking even requires chest muscle movement---and it's probably just the rub of muscle that hasn't fully reconnected to skin that's causing the edema.

Bicycle maybe? At least you can read and pedal at the same time!
