The functions of my body have ceased to make any sense to me at all.

I’ve been out of Tae Soo Do for the last two weeks due to (I believe) hyperextending my right knee during some kicking drills. It’s been hurting on and off the entire time, and I finally got sick of it enough that I wanted a doctor to take a look at it. Therefore, I went to Tae Soo Do today with explicit intention of causing enough damage to my knee for there to be something for the doctor to find and diagnose. Sound like a terrible idea? It’s not, really.

Typically, when I complain to a doctor that my X hurts on and off, and sometimes doing this makes it hurt, he or she will spend some time grunting and poking me with a stick, find nothing wrong, and charge me $100. I figured that actually having something wrong would give them a better idea how to fix me.

…but my knee feels fine. Totally fine. I don’t get it.

On the other hand, I actually managed to hurt myself stretching while lying in bed this morning. I did a good full-body sprawling stretch, and my ankle started to hurt. I had done something to a tendon, and it didn’t feel normal again until I popped it back into place.

So, to sum up: violent exercise on a wounded knee–perfectly fine. Lying in a comfy bed and stretching–pain.
