Even though I have had a continuous headache for nearly 15 months now, I still find time nearly everyday to work out, although it is not quite the same as before my wisdom teeth were removed.
I did cross country and track in high school and usually would work out by going for a long bike ride or a long run and sometimes both. Now I don’t go running much anymore, once a week at most usually. I also don’t bike quite as much either. I do of swimming and weight lifting these days.
I don’t get the same feel good feelings out of swimming as I do with running; however, it still is a workout and usually helps calm down my headache, where as running sometimes makes my headache worse. Another reason why I don’t run much at all anymore is because I dislocated my left patella (knee) playing basketball last summer and have struggled with knee pain ever since.
I also enjoy weight lifting a few times a week and do this at a gym I belong to.
Along with working out I also ice, use heating pads, go in the hot tub, and the stream room quite frequently as well. I have found ice to be the most beneficial for me. Yet, the hot tub is very relaxing and as a positive effect as well. If you don’t currently include swimming or using a hot tub in your exercise routine, I would recommend you try to build it in. If your not exercising, you should be!
