Black and blue bruises

Tweet

For the past three weeks, I've returned to the gym after a six month absence and did Water Aerobics twice a week for the time being. My back is feeling better, since it was still from being inactive and the pain decrease is going down. Even by walking to the gym and downtown for church/library, it's good to get exercise when the weather's right. Though I've trying my best to gain a bit more weight before I would add more classes to my schedule. But after I saw that lucky ladybug Sunday morning, on the way back from church, I've tripped and fell on the sidewalk, halfway to my home. Maybe that's what I get from not making a wish on that ladybug. Though nothing's broken, sprain or fractured, I've scraped my nose and mouth on my face, along with my right palm, and both knees and elbows with bruises now. I'm feeling a bit better, though my knees and elbows hurt like the dickens. And with ice, heat and aspirin, it would swell for awhile. A year ago this month, I've sprained my right knee during yoga and took a month off from the gym to let it recuperate. Now it feels like deja vu again. I'll be tabling Pilates and Yoga for another 3-4 weeks, while I'll hoof it to water aerobics to let the heated pool water help with the pain. Does anyone any remedies from sprained elbows and knees?
