knee pain after long meetings ?? is this normal
Quote from solsticemountain on May 26, 2019, 11:06 pmMy knees have been killing me for two weeks. I work in IT so I sit at my desk from 9 am till 7 pm. Yesterday I had three back to back zoom calls and by 6 pm I could barely walk down the stairs. I am 35 so this feels too early. I tried the cheap gel at Watsons for 25 dollars but it did nothing. My husband says I just need yoga but I do not have time for that after picking up kids from school. I drink enough water and I am not overweight. Is this just normal for women in their thirties who sit too much? I am worried it is something serious like arthritis. Has anyone else dealt with this sudden pain after long meetings?

Quote from dogmom1981 on August 8, 2020, 8:47 amwe moved 3 times last year. my husband thinks moving boxes is mans work but folding shirts is mine. i let the living room pile up. he complained once then carried the trash to curb himself. dont cook fancy food on day 1. order pizza. if house isnt perfect but kids are fed and beds are made thats win in my book. survival mode is real for immigrant moms.

Quote from Daleinn on August 21, 2020, 1:09 pmomg no way. if he cheating and still trying to get in yo pants run. why u even consider it?? he dont respect u one bit. i would block him immediately. dont let him use ur body for ego boost. u deserve someone honest not some player playing games. stay away from that toxic energy.

Quote from Warmglen on May 12, 2020, 12:34 ami dont believe in auras but i know what burnout feels like. if you cant function through your day its exhaustion not a spiritual crisis. i took a mental health day this week just to sleep and eat real food. no screens. you need rest not a cleanse. drop whatever isnt urgent and go lie down. your body is screaming at you to stop. listen to it.

Quote from Woodpresentation on August 14, 2020, 8:56 pmGirl same thing happens to me. I just start with five minutes on the treadmill. If it feels too heavy I stop. No guilt allowed. My prayer group helps too, we just talk about stress sometimes. Don’t try to do all at once. Just show up honey. Y’all got this. Lord willing we keep going one day at a time.

Quote from Wild1965 on December 2, 2020, 10:04 amhonestly same. ive stopped trying to meditate every morning and guilt myself for missing days. now i just do what feels doable. sometimes its five minutes of breathing, other times its napping. im done performing spirituality. i teach second grade so i deal with chaos all day, im not adding mental load. just be kind to yourself.

Quote from Lichenmission on February 14, 2021, 6:55 pmgirl listen to me i train twice as hard too but my prs are trash. honestly think its recovery not effort. i eat like a horse every day and sleep 8 hours straight. if ur not eating enough or sleeping like a baby ur body literally cant build. stop killing urself in the gym and start feeding that body. sometimes less is more tbh. try deloading for a week and see what happens.

Quote from Cloudcrossing on April 18, 2021, 6:28 pmsame here honestly. its just so noisy and chaotic now that i barely have the mental bandwidth to think about it. i have to schedule intimacy like a business meeting which feels incredibly unsexy. my husband gets it tho, we just cuddle more now. not every phase feels romantic but thats totally normal i think.

Quote from HappyStar on August 22, 2021, 7:31 amSame. After the kids hit toddlerhood it vanished. Husband thinks we just forget. I start chores so he sleeps. Honestly cant be bothered explaining again. We touch but thats it. My auntie says wait til they leave home. I just nod. Feel like roommates who share dna. Maybe thats normal now. Just tired.
