Perhaps i had it coming... i knew that it would come back. Yet i chose to pretend it never will...



My hip and knee pain has finally returned with a new-found vengeance. For the first time since i resumed my exercise regimen, i began to seriously worry what was going on beneath the skin in my left foot.

It has been a year since i discovered this anomaly and for so long thus, i have been successful in accustomising myself to the grinding pain. It was as if the pain threshold of which i can sense pain was virtually lifted considerably from the baseline.

And sometime ago for sake of my gastro-intestinal well-being, i had started running faithfully at least 3 times a week. Everything was fine till Monday when i decided that my energy expenditure was "insufficient" and ran an extra 2 rounds in the complex. It was a decision i now truly regret. I reckon that it might have caused an overexertion at my hip region, resulting in the pain. Once again, i am reminded of my condition and even walking has become a chore now that i am extremely conscious of the snapping sensation.

The torrent of voices that have settled for a long time in my mind were once again thrown forth in a hustle of activity, each posing a difficult question for me...
