If you hate it when people talk about how much they go to the gym then this will really annoy you, I've had a lasting hip injury that just continues to get worse. Last Thursday I got a cortisone (steroid) injection to hopefully heal any inflammation and make my hip better. I took the whole week off from working out last week and rested as much as possible after my injection. On Sunday night I tried to do a light cardio workout and not put any extra strain on my hip. I still ended up having intense pain after barely an hour. Exercise is a huge stress reliever for me and, as silly as this sounds, is a huge part of who I am. It's been really difficult for me to not be able to work out the way I want to because of a lasting injury. Everyone asks like I'm so ridiculous for still working out when I'm in pain, but not going to the gym is worse than exercising with an injury. Yes, I know I'm crazy.
