I treat with red light mat, turmeric, arnica pain tablets, rest & hydration. Today is starting out pain free, but with a light s

You know that foggy, off-kilter feeling where nothing is wrong , but nothing feels quite right either? That was me. After slowing down and checking in with myself, I realized I was a tad dehydrated.
