I was thinking maybe it was my liver or my kidneys... but then I'm like... wait... why does it only happen in the morning when I first wake up??? What does an organ know about day versus night.... why doesn't it hurt at noon, for instance.... or in the afternoon.... why doesn't it hurt when I'm sleeping over at my old place...? I totally misread the kidney or liver thing.
I mean, I bet Michelangelo is just coasting by now... and us renters aren't even people to them, we're just target practice... then they hit you with a "stay healthy"... yeah, right.
So, a buddy of mine was getting a massage, and the therapist goes, "Man, you are incredibly knotted up." He’s like, "Knotted how?" She was basically explaining what you wrote about those muscle lumps. He said he felt fine before the ice therapy, but apparently, massage therapists have a sixth sense for this stuff—they feel those knots under their hands and just try to smash them out.
Regarding warming up the muscles... I walk into a CVS and tell them, "Give me something that’ll make my muscles go absolutely ballistic from the heat." The clerk just laughs and hands it over. I head to the office, hit the restroom, and slather it on wherever it hurts. I walk back into my cubicle and wait... nothing. I’m thinking, "This cream is garbage." I hop in the car and start driving toward Miami... then the heat hits. It started burning against the seat. I had every window rolled down trying to cool off. You might as well have brewed me a coffee right there on the seat. My eyes were practically popping out of my head. I told myself, "Great, I'm stiff in the morning and now this cream is killing me." Honestly, I thought about going back to the pharmacy to ask for a cream to fight the cream.😬
Anyway... yeah... massage... damn, we're gonna try that for the first time soon. Have you guys tried it? Is it worth it?
It’s like—everything feels fine when I’m warmed up. But once I cool down overnight, everything just aches in the morning. I was thinking maybe it’s just a muscle strain? Because why does it hurt like hell when I lean left on the toilet in the morning? I can literally feel the tension! A buddy tells me I should go get a massage. Honestly, screw him and his ultrasound nonsense... I'm not dying. My blood work comes back perfect every two years anyway.
So why does nothing, absolutely nothing, hurt during the day? Is this some kind of nighttime thing?🙂
Everything's fine during the day.... then I hit the sack.... (this bed is a total piece of sh*t).... and like clockwork, around 4 AM, my lower back starts killing me. It’s not even a spine thing or a general ache—it's specifically on the right side. I'm starting to think it's the damn bed because whenever I crash at my old man's place in Chicago and sleep through the night, I feel fine. But as soon as I get home, the pain hits. For example... I wake up in the morning.... it hurts.... I sit down in a chair... and if I lean my upper body to the right... no pain. But the second I lean left.... that right side just tightens up and screams at me. What the hell is that? Sciatica? Muscle strain? Liver... kidney... brain... fingernails... lungs. Someone who actually knows, tell me.... if you don't know, stop messing around. 🙂
