Don’t ever let anyone tell you it’s not okay to rest. Don’t let anyone tell you to just push through your pain because “you’ll be in a ton of pain anyway, right?” You deserve rest. Your body may be used to constant, unbearable pain, but when you start doing extra things your body may need a second to adjust. Yes, you’ll be in pain anyways, but don’t let someone override your personal experiences because they want to get somewhere faster. It doesn’t matter if you did jumping jacks yesterday, today you need a rest and dammit you deserve it.
