The Yoga of stiff muscles and joints..
They did not tell you in High School and University that different things will manifest in your body in your forties.
They did not tell you that your body for no known reason except the unresolved issues will stiffen up and that it will become uncomfortable to stand up, sit down, lie down, walk for a long time and that the temporary relief after activity lasts until the stiffness comes back - sometimes there is pain but otherwise there is just this feeling that the entire body is clenched.
Chikunguyna they said leaves joint pain, but sometimes it is not so much the pain as the inability to flex the knees to run up the steps and to flex the back so that the head can touch the knees even if some of the back muscles say it will be okay to do that but other muscles seem to be clenching in teh reverse direction.
Stiffness that has the jaw tense and you have to be stretching your mouth constantly to relax the jaw.
You are not sure what causes this stiffness and sometimes pain and immobility.
You think that sitting flat on the ground would be good, except that after 15 minutes it is time to get up and move around and you cannot sit on the bench and even as you move you feel tired and you would like to sit or lie down but the stiffness slight ache will come back.
It is probably the mental health and the stress which you think you managing. The yoga of stretches helps sometimes.. but as soon as you are done and you finish bathing and you sit down to do some work.. the stiffness comes back and it soon feels as though you have done nothing.
They say sugar, wheat and everything else .
Whatever it is, it is there. It is annoying, sometimes unbearable. The brisk walking and running are now not so possible. It is now one of the those things where the body at rest or in motion continues to feel uncomfortable.
Not sure what the cure will be.
