Hello!
I don't know if there is a post about this, but I am really concerned... I started dancing about a week and a half ago, and this past week I did three days in a row. Since I don't know a lot of pole tricks, I have been doing a lot of floor-work, involving my knees.
I got a lot of bruises and they hurt a bit, but I wasn't worried because I'm fine with external physical pain.
But, the third day I was supposed to dance, I woke up and it hurt so badly to try to bend/use my knees...all day. They felt extremely swollen or something, perhaps fluid build up?
I went to work in the evening and girls were talking about permanent damage from Bursitus...and I mentioned the problem I was having with my knees and they're like "That's a huge problem, you can cause permanent damage; stop using your knees."
I don't really know how to stop using my knees, but is that the only option? Someone recommended to me a product that reduces inflammation in joints, but I forgot what it's called... Also, is it possible that this isn't something I have to worry about? I don't care much about pain, but I definitely care about if I permanently damage something. :/
Thank you in advance!
