Old Injury Reappearance After First Day Fasting

Hi All,

I am new here and looking for advice.

I had relatively serious shoulder injury in Sept 2019 and I regained most mobility in January, but the pain returned just after 24 hours of fasting and it actually feels worse than before.
Is it normal for the not-so-old injury to flare up already after one day of fasting?

Yes. Welcome to our fasting community.

The pain will fade. I have had my left knee severely injured in college flare up in pain but soldiered through and it went away.

Answering this a bit late, but one of our members did a 14 day fast and had some previous knee injuries. During the first past of the fast she had excruciating pain, and later on it became almost non-existant. She firmly believes that her body was healing old wounds and scar tissue which was a healing/detoxing going on in her knees during the early stages of the fast!

Hope this helps a bit!

Always check with your doctor!!
