Missed Badminton

Something came up tonight and I didn't end up going to Badminton. Kind of missed it as it would have been my first pain-free night (or so I thought, see below) since I started going and I had a lot of excess energy to burn off. But I ended up not going, and don't regret it. I had a wonderful night.

But (always a "but") I have been stiff/in pain, getting worse all day. I took Celebrex at dinner as usual, but it hadn't seemed to kick as late as 9:30. I didn't feel like going to bed at that point and wanted to get some exercise so I hit the elliptical (I had done about a 20 minute walk in the morning but wanted to get some more exercise in, for sure).

Anyway, after about 5 minutes on the elliptical it became clear that my knees were "cracking" on each revolution and it was getting worse and freaking me out. So I jumped on the treadmill and got a good 20 minutes in. My knees seemed fine there.

I worked up quite a sweat and am very relaxed after being wound up all night. My back continues to be sore, though, and my knees are kind of achy.

This is really disappointing as the Celebrex has been working really well lately. I think maybe I overdid it on the weekend. I also didn't sleep deeply last night because I was wearing that sleep apnea diagnostic kit. Oh, well, I still feel much better than before, so that's what I am focusing on. :)
