Training vs. Overdoing

[KnottedYet]

My acupuncturist called me a chronic overdoer (overstretching, too much riding, not enough recovery).

Over-doing is a choice. It is a choice you make.

If you feel you have no idea where to start; I strongly suggest you ask your doctor for a referral to a sports psychologist. They can help you re-learn how to interpret the signals you get from your body and re-learn how to self-impose reasonable limits. A sports psychologist can teach you how to create a training schedule that will allow you to function normally again and begin strengthening yourself instead of damaging yourself.

(ETA: and sports psychologists tend to be VERY cool, fun people!)
