Chronic pain is frustrating and annoying, and turning it into humourous essay is no mean feat. I hope you have better luck with Gym Chalo Season 4. 🙌🏽

Such a joy to read you, Savvy... even though you write of annoying pain!

And of course so much resonance - because who doesnt't live with nagging pain in the body.

Glad to hear you are frozen shoulder free. About them knees, I hate to be one of those people that offer advice but I find in this instance I cannot help it. I once had managed to lock my knees - I could barely move. This after consulting with doctors. Eventually I packed a small bag and checked myself at a naturopathy center in Bakhtawarpur. Have you tried naturopathy? I would suggest giving it a go.

That aside, what funny, breezy writing on a topic that would make someone like me mope and moan! Well written! Congratulations

Lovely funny essay. I know you are not looking for gyaan but I would like to share anyway. When knee pain shows up, I walk backwards for sometime everyday at home and it helps relieve the pain. All the best for your Gym plans and getting fit. Lovely sketches.

Thank you Rakhi! All inputs are good. In fact the day I do my 30 minute yoga/warm ups I am much better. And yes this walking backwards is good.

First, I hate gyms. Hats off to you for even giving them another chance. Second, I have watched you dance and you are a bloody good Madhuri Dixit! The day I dance with even half the zeal you do, Savvy, would be the climax of my life! Loved the sketches btw, I missed them :))

I want to twitch the heart above to say I like it, but then how can I? You have bad knees and you are not doing anything about it but to write and share the discomfort. I dont like anything, other than your courage.
