My body is doing weird things

deannaloo

I started strength training a few weeks ago (after a 3 year hiatus). I lift 4-5 days per week and do zumba 2-3 times per week. In the past few days I've noticed a weird nodule on my arm, have had sharp pains in my foot and I've seen broken blood vessels or capillaries in random places on my body. Have any of these things happened to you?

(The foot thing might be related to my shoes .. I'm going to try changing my shoes soon to see if that helps with the sharp pain in my foot.)

I think you should go see your doctor - at least about the nodule.

You might just be overtraining, but definitely go to your doc. Petechiae is something that might be nothing or might be a significant concern, and the lump in your arm might be just a knot in a tendon, but might be something of concern. Better to get checked out than guess incorrectly.

Thanks for your replies. It's frustrating to be doing all the right things .. exercise, eating clean (except for a weekend cheat!) to have these little issues pop up! I really don't want to go to the doctor ... sigh.
