That’s not how pain works. Pain is a noisy and error-prone signal that gives you a good approximation for “stop doing that.” But the edge of pain sensation doesn’t indicate what is or isn’t a good idea during recovery. It’s not a bad place to start, but everyone has different pain tolerances, some injuries are in nerve-poor areas, and repetitive stress or tendinitis are definitely not going to appreciate getting lit up right away.

- potamic 2y agoSorry, which comment are you affirming?
- jacksnipe 2y agoGo until just before it hurts, which is a moving target that you will have to calibrate carefully
- shermantanktop 2y agoWould you give the same advice to someone with a chronic pain condition?
- jacksnipe 2y agoI don't know, I'm not a doctor and I'm not giving advice to anybody!
