How much pain is too much?

[winsomehill]

My hip hurts, my knees bother me a little, I get a funny pain in my shoulder when I run long distances. I have just accepted that there is some pain. But, then at what point do you worry. I have Plantar Fasciatis and thought the same thing about that pain when my feet hurt, until I couldn't walk. So at what point do you address pain? Do other people have aches and pains on a regular basis?

Hi Heather!

I experience a minor amount of knee pain a few times a week. Usually it is made worse by bike riding. i think my knees are all out of alignment; I'd love to go to a sports doc or physical therapist but my insurance won't cover it. I also have lower back pain off and on. The most I do is take Advil.

Yeah, I experience similar aches & pains--PF, a recurring cramp in my left trap, occasional cramping in my hamstrings, knees knees knees.......

I don't worry about it. If it's something that was extreme & prevented me from using proper form or from doing a particular exercise I'd be concerned, but otherwise I just work through it.

I get a funny pain in my shoulder area too when I run. It is a little in my neck too. I have no idea what it is, but I do know what you are talking about.
