The $64,000 question of all questions. (Does anyone use that phrase anymore, anyway?!) The only thing that's ever worked for me is rest -- and it's really hard to rest for as long as you actually need to rest, because I always find that I think I can come back sooner than I really should, and end up hurting myself again.

I saw this interview with Jerry Seinfeld recently, and he said the same thing about returning to standup comedy after the pandemic. He hadn't worked onstage in over 2 years, and went out to see a comedy show after the world opened back up. He found himself asking, "how does anyone do this?" Even though he'd been a standup comic for decades! It took time for him to find his rhythm again too.
