Brief Answer:
Due to reduced inflammation, good feeling will be present.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:

1. After taking the 'dose pack', the goodness feeling due to improvement in pain and reduced inflammation is present.
2. This does give the feeling of being able to work more.
3. Its not appropriate and not advisable at this age to do the activities mentioned.
4. However, not to worry, once the feeling goes off, she will get back to usual self.

Hope it helps.
Any further queries, here to help again.
