It was the first time for me as well.

A friend of mine on Twitter gave herself almost the exact same injury five days ago, so she told me it's gonna just SUCK the first couple days, then the itching will kick in and be really irritating. I woke up, yawned, stretched, then about screamed in pain this morning cause it felt like I was ripping something out of my hand when I stretched. So...guess I'm off working out then? This blows. Hope your recovery goes well too.
