MEET CHELSEA MOSURE! Our Newest Litigation Paralegal
Tittle & Perlmuter is excited to welcome the newest addition to our team: Chelsea Mosure!
But ultimately, Chelsea wanted to return home to Ohio. She wanted more space to be outdoors and had the desire to be closer to family. So, when she came across our job posting on LinkedIn, she decided to apply, and we’re so happy she did! At Tittle & Perlmuter, Chelsea is a litigation paralegal, so she’s seeing what happens in the courts in real time instead of working on what comes before. She says she enjoys the transition because she learns something new daily. When she’s not at work, Chelsea loves biking, swimming, live music, and spending time with her friends. She also has a 7-year-old mini schnauzer named Banksy! Chelsea also loves to travel and has been to every continent except Antarctica — but that’s on her list too.
Chelsea, an Ohio native, comes to us with a background that makes her uniquely suited to her job as a litigation paralegal. First, she’s always loved helping people; her first job was as an elementary special education teacher for 10 years. But after a decade of teaching, Chelsea felt it was time to transition to a new career. She had always been interested in law and felt that with the COVID-19 pandemic, she’d have the time to go to paralegal school and pursue her passion for law. After completing paralegal school, Chelsea worked for a law firm in Manhattan that specializes in mass tort. She was a pre-litigation paralegal and helped the firm with the legal processes before they filed a lawsuit. She’s worked on cases that involved defective drugs, Camp Lejeune, and the e-cigarette company Juul.
Welcome to the Tittle & Perlmuter team, Chelsea. We’re so excited to have you!
Exercising improves our bodies and minds, including mental health, sleep quality, and disease prevention. However, the one downside to exercise that deters some people from engaging is soreness the day after a workout. However, soreness is completely normal! It means your body worked hard to become healthier and stronger. But sometimes, that soreness can be more intense, and the level of discomfort is more severe than a subtle throb. When the discomfort after a workout is unbearable or persists for a few days, this may be a sign of pain from an injury. Telling the difference between an average level of soreness and something more serious can be difficult, especially if someone is starting their fitness journey for the first time. So, let’s set the record straight. Here is how to tell the difference between normal muscle soreness from exercise and pain from a possible injury. SORENESS When we exercise and push our bodies to become stronger, we’re actually making tiny tears in our muscle fibers. This is normal; our muscles become stronger as the body repairs these tears because the fibers become thicker and more powerful. However, this tearing and repairing can make us sore the day after a workout. SORENESS OR PAIN? Knowing the Difference Matters
To identify soreness, recognize that muscles will feel tender, and you may feel an ache when you try to use the muscle while sitting, standing, or lifting something. Typically, this ache is only present when those muscles move again, not at rest. However, the longer these muscles stay static, the tighter the muscles will get as they repair, which makes moving them again painful. So, the critical characteristic here is that soreness is typically present as you force the muscle to move .
Muscle soreness should also only last for 2–3 days and onsets about 24 hours after physical activity occurs.
PAIN Be concerned if the sensation is a more jarring and sharp pain rather than merely soreness with movement. Pain can occur outside the worked muscles, like in the joints or tendons of an affected area. While soreness is a dull ache, pain can feel like a stab with specific movements. Also, pain may be present even when the muscle is not moving. If someone is lying down after a workout and feels pain in their knee, even when not in use, that is pain, not just routine soreness. Pain may last longer than 2–3 days and can happen as you exercise or within 24 hours. Also, while muscle soreness subsides as the muscles move, pain can become more severe when you move the injured area again. If you believe your discomfort is pain and not muscle soreness, consult with your doctor to help identify the injury and outline the next steps you should take to heal.
