Avatar m tn I developed pain in both calves after surgery for a torn meniscus on my right knee. The surgery was successfully, but eventually the pain behind the upper calves began and (5 months after surgery) its gotten worse. It feels like a cramp and its worse after sitting: I have pain and stiffness when I get up and walk with a noticeable limp.
Avatar f tn Tight muscles prevent you from opening your stride and gliding. After warming up for 15 minutes, stretch your hamstrings, glutes, calves, groin area, hips and quads, and hold each stretch for 30 seconds. Stretch your muscles again after your workout. Muscles stiffen and tighten during intense training sessions. Build a solid base. Before you train to run a fast mile, run an easy to moderate pace for at least 12 weeks.
Avatar f tn I am a 31 year old male that has been experiencing bilateral leg pain for about a year. Pain is mainly in thighs and calves. No weakness really, and no numbness. Feels like I did a ton of lunges or other leg activity after minor workouts. Almost burning feeling sometimes. They have felt kind of jelly like a couple times after exercise but not a usual thing. Some spasms... Usually okay if not walking or standing for an extended period of time, but will start to ache when doing so.
Avatar f tn do ab workouts for the stomach but the reason your not loosing weight is probably because your gaining muscle mass which is heavier then fat when working out think more on how you want you body to look and less on your weight. You are the average weight you need to be.
Avatar f tn I'm just wondering if there are any exercises which I can do for the spasms in the outer calf muscles which also present with weakness in my leg. This came on when my sciatica back pain seems well on the way to recovery.
1364611 tn?1277867137 I have been having constant pain bilaterally in my calves. Having difficulty driving for more than 20minutes. I get on my treadmill and most times I have to stop due to cramps in my outer calve area. I can see two or three 3cm soft bulges and notice large veins protruding from back of lower leg. I have also been getting frequent hand cramps along with numbness in fingers. Lastly, I feel I have tightness in my jaws and neck. Not sure if this if a form of PAD or CVI.
Avatar n tn I can best describe it as kind of numby/tingly sensation that makes me feel weak throughout my buttocks and legs (hamstrings and calves, not quads) that has been with me for 7-10 days. I cannot remember any impact on my tailbone, but was working out a lot during the week leading up to this including intense leg lift workouts where my hands are under my lower back and I think that may have caused a nerve to be pinched or something. There really isn't any pain.
Avatar f tn The problem is, I have a very difficult time running, spinning or even climbing the stairs at my house without my calves and thighs burning. It takes about 3 minutes into a workout to feel what I think I should be feeling at the end of my workout. I feel like my muscles are going to jump out of my skin and they are on fire. It makes it hard to get through my workouts. What the could this be? It has always been this way.
Avatar n tn I had a twitching eye for six-months once. From my understanding eye twitches are quite common. Not only from eye strain but from fatigue. I realized after worrying about such twitches too much that the real condition I suffered from was hypochondria/health anxiety. If you think this may be you check out the following hypochondria resource for some information about this condition. Whatever you do don't worry too much about the twitching.
Avatar f tn If you are really out of shape, do mild activities for a prolonged amount of time, for example, go for a slow walk for an hour, rather than a brisk walk for ten minutes and you will burn more fat that way. The longer you get the aerobic system working for, the more fat you burn. The more in shape you become, the more aggressive activities you will be able to do while being able to breathe deeply - oxygen is the key to being aerobic and burning fat.
Avatar n tn What do you ladies do for workouts while pregnant? Any schedules or specifics you follow? Any good advice? Im really trying to keep my body in shape.
Avatar f tn I worked out 4-56 times a week and now I can barely get 3 workouts in. I even made a schedule for a specific pregnancy workout I found on pinterest and walking and elliptical. We just have to listen to our bodies I guess! I felt Bette when I went to the doctor today because they told me to work out 3 maybe 4 days a week and only for a maximum 20 min..
Avatar f tn Prenatal yoga is great for strengthening all the muscles you're gonna use during labour and for focusing on your breathing. I've been swimming a lot during my pregnancy as it feels so nice to exercise without feeling the weight of your belly. Walking as often as possible is also good. These are the only exercises I did but depends on your ability and fitness level. I had breathlessness throughout my preg so anything else was too much much me.
Avatar f tn Swimming is really the best workout when pregnant. I personally stopped swimming (because it's quite expensive here) when we got a dog when I was 4 months pregnant so now I'm still walking 2-3 hours everyday at 37 weeks pregnant and I've gained about 28 lbs (I'm quite tall). Hope you find something that works for you!
Avatar n tn I want to workout my abs and thighs. Any workouts that you have in mind to help me workout?
Avatar f tn The more intense the more calories burned. For instance, you actually burn calories while you eat, but you burn thousands more climbing a mountain.
Avatar f tn t wait! Just start doing some squats and going for walks. If you can hold a conversation during your exercise you are fine.
Avatar f tn Do you know for sure it was just laziness making you tired during workouts? Because working out usually gives people more energy - it's normal to experience tired muscles but it's a pleasant tiredness. A tiredness that causes you to quit your workouts may mean there's something wrong, like perhaps your immune system is trying to fight off a cold or an infection. There are a number of physical reasons that can make someone too tired to workout.
Avatar m tn I am doing all body muscles workouts at home (sometimes intense workout) including abdominal workouts. I want to start swimming for a while and i want to know what are the benefits of swimming, and what will my muscles and abs benefit from it.
Avatar f tn If you don't like workouts like me, try beach bodys rockin body workout (its kind of like zumba but not as intense). Its super fun and easy. Plus it doesn't look like you're working out, just dancing. Don't let anyone keep you down. You'll get to your goal weight! I believe in you! Same with you morgan1342.
10520198 tn?1410756360 My shins remained tender, but the main focus was the pain in my inner calves. I went to the doctor for this issue, and they gave me a no running profile for a month. That was fine and dandy, until I came off profile and the situation became much worse than before. I played the “catch up” game to get back to how I used to be before I was on profile. In order to do this to my superiors standards, I had to to do this much faster and harder to achieve the results they were looking for.
Avatar f tn ve come across in the android play store or market place. They have different types of workouts and some for each different trimester.
Avatar n tn Usually, lysinopril is given for heart failure/cardiomyopathy. Bruising calves are a serious concern. For an example, my Ejection Fracture is 20 with lysinopril. Can you imagine what would happen to me if I stopped taking lysinopril? Show the Doc your bruised calves and take some heat......at least you'll appreciate it as your longevity increases.
Avatar n tn Hi, I just got a gym membership and I'm trying to tone up my thighs & calves, but I'm not sure if running will do the trick or cause them to become more muscular & bulky. What are the does & don'ts when targeting those areas & aiming to slim them..
Avatar f tn Hello and welcome to the forum. Thank you for the question but we're sorry you are having this problem. There are different potential causes for a rash that doesn't itch. You should see a dermatologist for evaluation and to get guidance for how to get rid of this. The possible things it could be includes irritant contact dermatitis. Are you using any detergents that are new? Anything you can think of that would be in contact with your calves and lower arms only.
