Avatar f tn Invest in a good pair of insoles. Go to a specialty store for runners - their employees are often better trained to determine exactly what you need for your feet, your gait, and your activity level. Mention the swelling to your provider at your next appointment, they may want to keep an eye on it and may be able to give you some tips. Good luck.
Avatar m tn do you want to start a group to share the tools we find useful for ourselves for pain?
Avatar f tn I’d run for 1 minute, then walk, then run again for 2 minutes, then walk again, and so on and so forth until I was able to run one hour (5 miles) nonstop. I’d set goals for the day. For example, I’d say ‘Today, I will run 5 minutes nonstop at least once in a one hour period, then try to run 3 minutes intermittently within that hour for a total of maybe 15 minutes. I’d get so thirsty at first, but then I guess my body got used to running 5 days a week.
Avatar n tn Before I got pregnant, I jogged 4 times a week for 4-6 miles. I want to stay active as possible during my pregnancy. I am only 4 weeks along and I have been walking/light jogging for about 4 miles 4 times a week. I would like to know what kind of running adjustments you had to make as you progressed in pregnancy. And what your doctors have told you.
Avatar f tn The shin muscles can also be somewhat alleviated by footwear and choice of surface. Runners who strike heavily with the heel should look for shoes which provide ample rear foot cushioning. Such shoes may be referred to as "stability" or "motion control" shoes. The so-called "neutral" shoes for bio-mechanically efficient runners may not have adequate support in the heel, because the runners for whom these shoes are intended do not require it.
Avatar f tn I had noticed that too, when im active for more than an hour like just cleaning my house doing laundry or going up and down stairs. It gets weird like hard, I started feeling that at 17 weeks, im now 19wks.
8411000 tn?1464556711 s World has quite a number of previous articles about Lyme disease, too, so that runners are advised of what to look for. That is excellent, that the magazine is looking out for runners, readers, and also the rest of us who just meander. I hadn't known of this resource before. Thanks again!
Avatar n tn I have worked on marathon runners. I got to work on the first and second place runners in a 25 miler right after the run. The smell from their bodies, including their feet, was almost sweet. I was amazed. They have highly efficient metabolisms from proper training which in include their diet. As the more haggard and stressed stranglers came in, their smells got worse. If we don’t totally and cleanly combust all our fuel, the excretions like sweat are fouled, just as they are in automobiles.
Avatar f tn Your fine, but make sure your nail salon uses sterile nail tools (prego or not). When I go I make an apt for first thing when my nail salon opens @ 9am. Less chemical fumes that way.
Avatar n tn Went to a massage parlour a while ago for the first time. I had a massage then she continue to provide a a happy ending however half way through she inserted a woodend massage tool and attempted anal stimulation. 2 weeks I returned and ask is it clean she said yes. However I'm still concerned I know the HIV virus doesn't live long outside the human body however recently I have notice when I go to the loo I sometimes get little pin size dots of blood when wiping.

Avatar m tn Hi, My Student Industrial Team and I have come up with a device that relieves knee pain for those with runner's knee and the elderly as well. It utilizes pressure plates on the sides of the knee that help to stabilize and decrease the pain. What's your take?
Avatar f tn ve used these on a limited basis for my TMD patients with mixed results. It was not effective enough for me to continue prescribing them. This and all other medications are pain management tools and don't address the cause, so don't eliminate pain. Vicodin and other opiod pain medications have been shown not to be the treatment of choice for chronic pain, and alter sleep architecture adversely.
Avatar f tn I asked the same question months ago. It seems like it is fine to do them except as you get closer to the end of your pregnancy. There are massage points on your ankle from what I am told that will trigger labor. To be honest with you, I haven't had once since I found I'm pregnant.
15695260 tn?1549593113 I recommend it for serious runners. But I do have to say, if you run, when you get old, you will have a big chance of paying the price. You gotta love it so it's worth it. All the best.
Avatar f tn Snap-on Tools? I've heard of them! Didn't they sponsor Billie Jean King back in the day? Or maybe it was a Melissa Ethridge tour. My mind don't hold facts so good any more.
730826 tn?1317943334 Then when I washed and dried them they shrunk and fell apart. I JUST got my new runners broken in, went to mow the law, wearing my steal toed shoes this time. When I came in from mowing the lawn, I found that my puppy decided to chew my runners. She never has chewed shoes before. Its just my luck. Hopefully they are still wearable as she just chewed the heal.
Avatar f tn I’ve been dealing with Achilles tendinitis, bursa pain and plantar faciitis for 10 months now. I’ve had time off work to rest, I put ice on it, massage it, elevate it... I’ve used anti inflammatory gel and tablets, naproxen 500mg, pain killers, physio therapy, acupuncture and now I’ve have a steroid injection a week ago and not one thing has made a slight difference. I’m in pain all of the time and it’s starting to affect my mental health.
Avatar m tn It is very knotty as you run your finger up both my shins. The pain is 24/7, and i can only stand for short periods. If I crouch down then the pain is worse and causes pins and needles. Do you have any idea of what this may be?
Avatar f tn It's perfectly fine. The warning about the calf massage sending u into labor is just a pressure point of some sort. Just let them know.
Avatar f tn I teach or train a martial art five times a week, have for 10 years, and I did get back on the same schedule but not for ages. I also love step (25 year veteran) and yoga and the occassional other activity such as walking. I had my cervix removed, because my doctor recommended it. No more paps (although he does do a vaginal swab once a year, the dear, just to be careful) and I just thought it was creepy to have it left in anyway.
Avatar f tn Paid more for an upscale place that had good ratings and uses clean sterilized tools. I brought my own nail polish. I asked to go during a slow time too so not to much fumes in the air. Had a lovely experience.
