If it's muscles, they can be a horrible pain. I once pulled a muscle in my back and thought I was gonna DIE (and I'm used to back pain). I could barely even get up and down off the pot!! It was that bad.. BuT… (with pain pill help) in a few days it was okay.
I DID go to dr. and got the pain pills (and the reassurance that I was gonna LIVE and hadn't done anything permanent.)
Hope you get to feelin better. Let us know what happens!

I've had BOTH due to getting old and fallin apart! AND.. as I've said before.. Veena's lessons on here are the Best $$ I've ever spent.
She IS a Personal Trainer… and for POLE! :):) The lessons and strength training are the best I've experienced and you see pretty quick results. As to the safety, doing things the RIGHT way go a loooong, loonng way to preventing injury and she teaches safety with every move!
Get a mirror and video yourself, too. You'll either get 'natural' or die trying! (Kidding.. not physically, I just meant the 'mentality'! 🙂

Awww.. that's alright.. lol.. there's even Country Songs about men who like thier "women a little on the trashy side"!! :):)

Not sure how 'big' is big.. lol
I went rummaging in the garage and found mine. It's pretty HUGE, sorry don't have tape measure, but you can find 'ceiling glitter' on line. Here's the one I used!

Looking for moral support:
Being miss smarty pants, I had two tabs open for SV. One was my video uploading, the other for browsing SV… WELL…. (damn it) GUESS what 'I" did?
Mmmm hmmm… went back a page on the WRONG TAB… waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Now I have to start all over and the 29% that was loaded took almost an HOUR.. Grrrr.
Okay.. I feel better now. Back to square one. :(:(

OMG!! This guy's so good I had totaly constant goose bumps!! :): Thanks!

I've posted many items on here relating to my 'issues'..so.. I'll see if I can help you out and get it all down HERE (once and for all, lol):
I am 57 – I have (had) Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Knee needing replacement, L5/S1 Degenertive Disc w/3 mm buldge. Of all, the left knee is the most limiting to exercise. (Please quote Stevesgirl regarding exercise w/cane!! lol) I TOTALLY get what she's saying!
I have in the past, joined gyms, had IDD Therapy on my back, Physical Therapy (which really did nothing because AGAIN knee movement was necessary to make any gains), ect, etc, etc.
In 2008/09 I lost 57 lbs. on the HCG Diet (:and used to own a consulting biz for it). Losing weight is the BEST thing you can do for your health! I can't tell you the difference it makes in just being able to MOVE, walk, etc. BUT.. I was still a 'noodle' due to the pain issues and no exercise that I seemed to be ABLE to do!
I started this kind of by accident, finding a $5 pole at a garage sale and thinking.. 'oh whee… do a little dance for the BF") HA! It has now become a great challenge, and a wonderful blessing in that I'm gaining strength, have a new hobby, and FINLLY.. a damn workout I can not only DO.. but that actually WORKS!
I started Veena' s lessons in mid March and worked out at her Strength/Conditioning program for 8 wks. Almost immediately, I began to feel positive changes that no other workout had accomplisehd. I just took 8 wks OFF, to lose a few gained lbs, and have found that I can STILL do what I was doing before! So there seems to be little loss of progress, which is a great surprise!
I am slowly gaining strength in the muscles supporting/surrounding the knee and it actually seems much better. I will likely not be able to get up and down to the floor for some of the pole moves very gracefully, if EVER; but there is plenty else I can do, instead.
I have NEVER been able to do a push up in MY LIFE, and am getting to do a few of those, as well.
Veena's lessons are clear, precise, and informative. It is a wonderful feeling to see yourself accomplish things you never thought you could do. And the fact that is IS so challenging, makes you want to continue to push forward – and when you are able to execute a move it is all the more rewarding because it ISN'T easy! 😉
The fact that poling is dancing and music as well as physical fitness, makes it all the more appealing. I don't think I'll EVER stop!
(Hope this helps w/your paper. If you need more info feel free to send me an email on SV!)
