pain

i have this strange habit of stretching tremendously as i am waking up from a night's sleep. the moment my mind starts to surface from unconsciousness, my arms and legs would already begin reaching for the top and bottom of my mattress. especially my legs, because i normally sleep curled up, so inevitably, overstretching would definitely happen.

it has happened quite a few times before. i would stretch my legs to feel the delicious pull of muscles moving and suddenly pain would ring through me as my muscles in either of my leg protest excruciatingly. i have no idea what it is called, just that it feels as though my muscles were being pulled in two different directions. it hurts like a bitch.

i would automatically reach down, fully awakened from the pain, and curse fervently as i breathe through the pain and wait for it to subside. once the pain passed, i would lie back and call myself an idiot. then, a few weeks later, my legs would reach for the bottom of my mattress and i would be in fetal position again.

two days again, this happened. the difference is that i think there might have been a possibility that i might have fainted from the pain. i can't really remember. i just remember agonizing pain, breathing hard through it, clutching my leg then suddenly i'm dreaming that i was limping along the road. the pain was so intense this time that i actually felt it even when i was sleeping.

even now, it aches a little. strange it is. normally the pain would be over within minutes but this lasted for two days. i must have done something differently. or not done something right. either way, i should really research into what this pain is called.
