05 Apr What pain should I get checked out?

Student Question: What is considered an ache or pain that is out of the range of normal yoga or exercise soreness?

Adam’s Answer:
1.Aches that last more than 72 hours.
2.Loss of full motion of any joints
3.Inflammation: Redness, swelling, loss of function, sharp pain and loss of movement.
4.Tenderness to touch
5.Pain greater than 5/10 on your scale where 0 is no pain and 10 is “I’m on fire and going to the hospital now and I’m calling 911”.
6.Numbness or tingling in the extremities that lasts more than a few minutes or starts the next day.
7.Heart rate that won’t return to resting rate in more than 15 minutes after a very exhausting run or exercise session.
