alright, so ever since i decided it was time to buy my own discs for the first time, it's been about 4 months straight of two rounds a day. i throw the tomahawk often, and with a pretty violent motion, as i use it to stretch shots off the teepad over 300 because i can't get there backhand yet, and some lanes just aren't lefty friendly off the pad (especially when you have no forehand shot).
about 2 and a half weeks ago, i noticed a slight dull pain in my left knee (i tomahawk with the right hand, and this is the leg i plant on during the motion) which eventually went up to my hip. my knee and hip would be a little sore after my first round, and noticeably sore after the second. however, when i'd wake up in the morning, there would be no pain or numbness.
today, i played three rounds at the same course through out the day with different groups of people, and now i have ankle soreness along with sharp pain in the hip and knee.
to sum it up, i'm wondering if this is a case of playing too much, or my throwing motion being too stressful on the left side of my lower body. should i take a break? start icing after rounds? work on changing my motion when tossing the thumber for distance? anyone experienced anything similar from throwing? if so, what did you end up doing?
if so, i have no problem sitting by the river with some chicken livers all day for the weekend to take a break :thmbup:
