If it settles, it's time to pay more attention. He definitely is a proponent of common sense. It was quite refreshing: no mystical stuff, and no "smarter than thou" stuff. Just plain old paying attention to what you're feeling. You know, Carl, he said exactly that — if the pain is moving, you’re probably just fine. If it settles, it’s time to pay more attention.

If the discomfort is immobile then it's probably something more complex than just tight muscle. I like how MS deferred to common sense regarding injuries and experimentation.

I agree that optimism and stoicism is a great combo, because you don't get what you want all the time, but you can be happy with what you get. Hum, now I feel like maybe the stones have said this at some point... What a great life skill Karen.
