Bowling injury and eating less

Well, I'm happy to report that it looks like my binge eating was probably
just a phase related to quitting smoking, and not a pathological thing I
need to go to therapy for. Yay! The past few days I've been keeping busy
doing things other than mindless nibbling and I don't feel nearly as gross
and out of control as I did earlier this week. I hope the feeling sticks,
and even if it doesn't I can make sure the behavior does.

One of the things I did lately was that I went bowling for the first time
in a long time. And, well, I hurt myself. I thought working out made me
stronger and I wouldn't get hurt, but apparently bowling uses muscles that
don't get used much in the rest of my life. For those of you who are
familiar with bowling, I try to get down as low as possible for my release,
with my left leg in front and my right crossed behind me. But I slipped at
just the wrong moment and my left leg kind of jutted out to the right, and
I twisted my ankle, and I felt pretty much like I wrenched my whole body.
My left butt cheek hurts, and there's a sort of ring of pain all the way
around the very top of my thigh, and my right shoulder, shoulder blade, and
side of my neck are pretty sore too. Thankfully my ankle feels just a
little sore, but it's ok. Anyway, I skipped doing the weight machines today
because I was still so sore, but now I wonder if maybe I should have done
them anyway, that maybe it would help? How do you know what kind of pain
will be helped by working out and what kind will get worse?

Any of my bowling "injuries" usually occurred the next morning and
went away with a Tylenol and a couple cups of coffe.

I am going to assume what you have are bruises and a mild strain. So
light exercise should be fine. Get the limbs moving, but don't put a
lot of stress on it, also don't fall out of the habit of working out.
Test with very light weights and if something feels wrong (moving
around when it shouldn't, putting extra stress on joints), I would
stop. I like to alternate ice and heat afterwards to any areas of
swelling.

Unset broken bones are a real worry and those should be pretty
obvious.

Yeah, me too. I'm used to being a little bit sore when I come back to it
after being out of practice.

Thanks! I was a little bit active yesterday even though I didn't go to the
gym. Up and down two flights of stairs 10 times or so, and playing tag
with the kids at work. It actually feels a lot better today, so I'll be
back at the gym tomorrow. I was particularly worried about hurting myself
more because load-in for DragonCon starts Thursday, and the con runs
through Monday, so that's 5 straight days of being on my feet.
