flexibility in use

I still suffer from excruciating cramp in my feet. Over the last 2 years I have built up the muscles in my feet and have increased flexibility with daily stretches and exercises but still suffer from painful cramp in my arches and toes. It seems to occur when my toes are pointed for long periods of time as I tend to tense my feet quite hard.

I have flexibility issues in almost all of my joints (Knees, elbow, wrist, ankle). Coincidentally, all the joints in the right side of my body are worse. I cannot squat as the back of my feet cannot touch my butt, my hand cannot touch my shoulder, cannot do pushup as wrist will hurt a lot. I have done xrays but doctor said my xrays are fine. Went through physiotherapy but joints flexibility does not improve no matter how much i stretched.

ve had back pain in the past related to anxiety/tenseness and the fact that my flexibility is terrible. stretching/yoga has helped in the past, but right now the pain is limiting activity. I have already tapered to around 2 g per day from 5. Maybe i should stay at this level and get these tests done before I go down more? I do have a family history of hemocromatosis.

I think it's carpel tunnel I had the same feeling in my hand it was more my middle index & thumb that were effected

I had sternoclavicular joint repair in March of last year. My surgeon took my front neck muscle and wrapped it around my collarbone and breast bone to make it a stable joint. Well, the last few months I have been having a lot of neck pain mainly and some pain at the joint. My previous surgeon didn't want to use bolts since it would make it a fixed joint (there is suppose to be a little play) so I would lose some flexibility.

It seems like my weight is going right to my belly and face! My belly is fine but my face and nose is definitely something that im not use to seeing different. Everyone is like....aww your prego and that i should enjoy but i think at the same i would like to control the double just alittle lol Any suggestions?????

Sometimes when I chew or move my mouth, the area around the temporal bone (just over my ear) either moves or pops up and down or feels pressure. Also, I get really bad pressure in my ears and a popping feeling in the back of my head and a vibration between my ears at times when I talk. For the last few mos, I've also had vertigo where it feels like I'm on a boat, along with ear pain.

My 80 year old mother had TKR surgery last week. She says when she stands or sits for any length of time, her foot hurts and she must lay down to relieve the pain. The doctor said this is typical because of blood rushing to the foot and recommended putting the support sock on. Has anyone else experienced this? Everyone is impressed with her flexibility and she's doing her exercises regularly but this pain has really gotten her concerned and regrets getting the surgery.

hey i am running 5 km in the morning and 5 km in the evening since last 10 days. now i am having muscle pain in my both legs in thighs and calf that i am not able to complete 1 km. what shoud i do ??

my issue is, is there any harm in me doing this? I used to only use my hand up until about a year ago when I bought a vibrator. I have always kept it going that long and sometimes as long as four or five hours, but since I have switched to a vibrator I am worried that I may be making it harder for me to do it other ways.

There was no need for any chemo or radiation since the tumor was well encapsulated. He engaged in all follow up tests and recent routine tests were all normal except his abdominal CT Scan showed some swelling in his bladder lining. All urine tests were normal - no signs of blood or infection...no sense of urgency to urinate or anything else unusual.

I started running in April. The hip tendonitis flared up after that. It's in the crease of the leg where the joint is. Once in awhile itnis bursitis on the outside of the hip. I started a new job unloading trucks and the hip tendonitis got out of control. I stopped running but kept the job. It improved. I tried eliptical after two weeks off and at the end of the work week I was back to severe pain. I am working on strengthening my glutes and hip abductors.

to just one form of stimulation and then it can be difficult to get aroused or have orgasm in other ways during sexual activities, so in case of masturbation I would recommend to use different kinds of stimulation - hands, sex toys and so on - in order to keep the flexibility of sexual responses.

Hi Brad, I agree with nickppatel re the leg activity in water polo. I played water polo for 6 years in my late teens to early twenties (then joined the military) and I have a full understanding on the amount of leg work required just to play water polo, let alone being the goalie.

Im only two months (8 weeks) and you can look at me and kinda tell im pregnant because I am small and petite. I can't help but wonder why I have a lil puge in my stomach already could it be twins???

I have a problem with chronic pain in my left shin and have had bouts with plantar fastitis. Suddenly by shoe inserts to support my high arches feel awful. What are the right exercises and what else can I do?

The only problem I have is that it is kind of a bummer in that without the flexibility in my wrist, some of my basketball and martial arts activities that I participate in currently are limited. I still live a normal life as an engineer and go to the gym 5 - 6 times per week and never feel any pain except on REALLY cold days. I recently landscaped my backyard with no problems. As far as flexibility, I was barely able to do a flat handed push up 3 years ago. I am 30 years old currently.

My daughter is 25 now, and 5 years ago she broke her femur and had a titanium rod put in her leg. She's doing fine, and now she's taking tae kwando classes. She is not sure, however, if she should push herself to do kicks, etc., or to be careful not to put too much strain on her hip. She's not sure if she can increase her flexibility by pushing herself, or if she could do herself harm. How can she tell what could be helpful as opposed to what might to damage?

I believe it is in part due to patellar mistracking. I have been working on flexibility in my hamstrings and quads, as well as strengthening my VMO, since it is weaker than the outer quad muscles. I have been doing wall sits to strengthen my VMO, since squats are too painful and leg extensions agrivate the condition. However, these excersizes seem to do little to help with the pain, even though I have been doing them for at least 6 months now.

t wear them when playing on the piano/keyboard because I need the flexibility in my wrists (The exact same flexibility that causes me pain). Does anyone here have a similar situation and/or advice?

I had surgery over 10 months ago for a lateral meniscus tear in my knee. This is the second surgery I have had on this same knee. The previous surgery I had a medial meniscus tear about 5 years ago. I am very active and cycle about 5 hours a week and about 5 hours a week of more weight bearing exercise. I have not been able to regain full flexibility to the knee, I am lacking 10 degrees of motion. I ice my knee most every day after exercising.

ve been diligent with my physical therapy and I have full flexibility in the leg. I can bend the leg at the knee and I can fully extend it. I can put weight on the leg and the doctor no longer requires me to wear the surgical boot. I still need to use a cane or crutches to get around. How long does it take for the tibia fracture to fully heal, and is there anything I can do to quicken the healing process on my own other than exercises and physical therapy? Thank you.

my iron level never go any higher than 9. my finger get very stiff with cramps and pain when I use them . I have trouble tieing my shoe or buttoning my shirt or opening this.

I am an nurse.
