You'll have to be the judge(s) of this. Normally, I lift and individually carry 3 heavy cases of 45-packs water, trash, recycling, and their bins.

During the fall, I rake and dump our whole front yard of leaves within ~45 minutes or so. (Even after some trees were cut down last summer, we still have a lot of them).

During the winter, I fling and shovel a 4-car driveway of snow ~6 feet high. That's not including having to shovel the side walk and 3 huge bus stops within 60-90 minutes.

Within the last few hours to 2 weeks, I shredded 2 ginormous boxes that held a tub and a toilet, 3 sliced chunks of an old, fiber plastic bathtub, and lifted and carried God knows how many bricks to lay down for a backyard patio (take the last part up with my grandmother).

Anyway, my body is fucking killing me and I dread having to shred another box with our box cutter. Yes, I'm a 30-something-year-old woman. No, I'm not He-Man and She-Ra, or The Incredible Hulk.

That's impressive. Brick work sucks, I helped out the masons when they were working on my church, gah my arms were rekt after two days.

I would take more Ibuprofen, but I don't feel like taking more pills. If the pain starts feeling worse again, I'll use my Lidocaine ointment that my doctor prescribed.

Yeah, eating a banana might help out too, the potassium is good for getting rid of the lactic acid.

I need to work out more, office job has me getting soft.

Yeah, I know that feeling all too well.

Originally, I was prescribed a Lidocaine ointment 5 years ago because of whiplash from a car accident. Very rarely do I use it now, however I do have it refilled on occasion.

Did they give you any physical therapy for the whiplash?

I messed up my knee from a slip and fall, I was worried I'd have to have surgery. Turns out that they gave me PT instead and I healed up for the most part. Stiff on rainy days or if I do too much walking, but otherwise I'm fine.
