I'm about to let you in on a little secret. It is so secret in fact, that only I know this, and I only know because I figured it out today, just now, ten minutes or so ago. Perhaps I am the only one in the world who knows this fact, for I have not heard anyone else say it in this particular way. CJ has mentioned it, but hardly as specific as what I am about to divulge.
Take a deep breath. You're about to be let in on the big secret to successful rehabilitation. Yes, I told you it was big. I figured it out. Drum roll please...
DO NOT OVERDO IT!
Simple as that. It's rather self-explanatory. Had a good session today and even squats and lunges were fine (CJ e-mailed a reply to my question and basically said it will hurt, but as long as it's bearable, deal with it: push through) and running 3 km felt ok too. Actually, when I was finished I felt good - alive, alert, and able to do more! But I said stop, hold on a second, let us think here. I'm taking the double recommended dosage of painkillers at the moment and I've just had a setback in pain levels. Is it a good idea to continue? What are the chances I'll take it too far?
So, good me stretched, showered and went home, proud and happy about a good 1 ½ hours' work.
Quit while you're on top, isn't that what they say?
