28 here, and even though I did actually injure mine I really didn't think I could do that at 28. Now my back actually bugs me, where as it didn't before : / .

I just found your blog and wanted to drop you a note and tell you that I really fell in love with it!

Hi Larissa - Could your aches be a by-product of nursing? I found myself with carpal-tunnel syndrome and arthritis while I was nursing Baker. Not sure what the solution is ... but a massage can't hurt ;-)

Yeah, Brad!

I agree with lots of the other comments. Probably less the aging thing, and more the effects of the baby thing ... new physical routines --> overuse "injuries" ... chiropractic is good.

I know this is gonna sound crazy, but...YOU JUST HAD A BABY!!!!! Give yourself at least a year before you start feeling somewhat human again. My youngest will be three on 09/11 and every morning when I wake up there is sensitivity in my feet...don't know why but there is. Aging does have something to do with it, but you just "lifed" (new word) a baby and that is a lot for one body to do. Don't worry, you'll never be the same, but it does get alot better from here--I promise.

In the meantime, keep pampering yourself with massages! ; )

oh boo about the aches, but hopefully the massage will be lovely and all sorts of help :)

Wouldn't it be cool if we were made like Mr. Potato Head? Then when something--like a wrist or head--broke (or just got boring), we could pop it off and put a new one on!

Ugh, sorry to hear about your sore body! Have you been to a chiropractor? I have not but many friends of mine swear by them!

I swear if we all got more massages the world would be a happier place. I want one!

you're lifting a baby, Larissa! your body, like it or not, went through a lot relatively recently and is struggling to shrink back to it's former self while simultaneously putting on new muscle and readjusting itself to carry an infant... I know the birth must seem like it was ages ago, but there's a reason women are considered postpartum for the first full year. I went through the same aches and pains, and they do ease up!

I need to Yelp a chiropractor...

I have many pains at the moment: my right wrist is sprained, many of my joints feel stiff if I don't crack the regularly (hands, neck, back, ankles, toes), my right shin has a bruse (that might even be a frcture), I have constantly been coughing for the last 4 months, my allergies are killing my sinuses.

This past year has taken a toll on my body.

Yes definitely see someone!
And get your husband to give you a massage ;)
