Hi there! I’m prep op and suffer with chronic pain. I recently started going to the pool and am LOVING being able to move pain free. So much so, that I’m struggling to rest on days when by body tells me to (i.e. painful muscle from too much time bent over in the garden). This has been an issue for me at other times in my life. Knowing my past and seeing this happening again, I know I need to keep it in check as I have in the past. So far, so good. Does anyone else have this as an issue? I’m surprised, but I guess shouldn’t be, how strong the desire is to get that exercise hit. I never knew about transfer addiction until listening to the podcast Our Sleeved Life. If that’s what it’s been before I managed to keep it healthy but the degree to which I think about wanting to go to the pool still surprises me. I’ll definitely bring it up with my counselor.
