Tell me about it!
I’ve broken both ankles - one of them twice. I’ve got a metal plate in one and I had ligament reconstruction surgery on the other.
I wouldn’t usually post this sort of thing but seeing as a lot of us have painful knees and this guy is pretty on point with his diagnostics and methods I figured it might help.
Live at 3:30pm tomorrow.
Went for a skate this evening and have set my back off again big time. Visible twist in my stance. Going to smash some pain killers and see how it feels in the morning

Hope you feel better soon. Were you up Stoke tonight or local?
Yeah up at stoke. Stepped off on a quarter and just twisted. Really a nothing thing to get hurt doing.
FFS. Hopefully OK soon.
Not been out since Sunday. Just having a difficult run with my lads Schooling and don’t particularly feel social right now!

Always the way, I had a life changing injury just cruising around not trying to do anything. Basically have a barely functioning elbow for the rest of my life, for nothing. Hopefully you didn’t break your back!

Been restless, in bed most the day. For the last 4 or more years dealing with this shite back and now feels like back to square one.
At least I’ve managed to watch sinners, the new toxic avenger film, all of the knight of the 7 kingdoms. Now on the matrix.

Quite enjoyed that one, but it wasn’t quite as gruesome as it should have been/hoped it would be

Feel for you. I’ve had back issues since 2019. A recent ct scan seemed to show I have a fairly squashed disc just below my mid back and a couple other protrusions and squished bits towards the bottom. My doctor wasn’t too concerned but insisted I dont run. Currently doing pilates that focus on lower back and hips. It’s only been 5 sessions but I think I’m starting to feel the difference. Also got a goal to lose 15kg so ditched the electric bike and back to commuting on my regular bike which is a workout.
Ahhhh mate. I’m crossing everything that it goes quick and you’re ok after a couple of days.
Gave myself an absolutely ridiculous hamstring injury last week playing football. Thinking I was going to the CDM version of Zlatan’s goal against England a few years back, I hyperextended / completely borked my leg trying to kick a ball sailing over my head as I was running back at full speed. It was uncomfortable at the time and now it’s not that sore, feeling more like light sunburn, but no sport for a few weeks - I could feel it click as I sailed through the air so it must be pretty bad, it just feels uncomfortable. The bruising is something else though, it looks like I’ve been hit with a flaming whip and my leg then thrown on a BBQ, it stretches from the top my calf to just under my butt cheek.

Torn..?
Sounds like a tear mate..
Ate shit stupidly warming up Sunday, missed a trick I never miss, fell on my bum and my right butt cheek has hurt since but there’s also something wrong with my left knee, which I don’t remember hurting. It wasn’t that bad, I did that when I was 5 minutes into my session and kept skating for 2 hours after that. I skated for 30-40ish minutes after work Tuesday and yesterday, I could still feel the pain but could also skate. Now I don’t know if I should chill or go for a skate this afternoon. My heart definitely tells me to go for a lovely skate as it’s sunny today. Hhmmm…

Chilled skate 
Yeah that’s what I did and while it doesn’t hurt more than it did before, I could definitely feel some kind of discomfort. I suppose it’s nothing crazy if I could skate these past days and today. Should probably take it easy, but that’s hard for me, I just need to skate all the time so badly.

Did my first park run yesterday. Over did it a tad, my calves/tendons have totally freaked out at the random exertion.
After a weird weird vision episode (I mentioned on here somewhere) doctor has been really good. Blood/various tests show slightly above normal cholesterol but everything else is good so doesn’t think my weird vision thing is stroke/heart attack related. I am deficient in Vitamin D and some other bits which could mean something like lupus especially tying into my general aches and pains, which I am coming to terms with not just being my body compensating for old injuries but but could be some deficiency affecting joints or whatever. Doctor seems to be well up for investigating so booked in for X-rays on all my old injuries just to see if they are possibly still causing grief.
I used to run a lot when I was living in Bristol and one time I thought I could power through a niggly strain/ache in the mid calf area. Couldn’t run for about 3 weeks and then when I got back into it, about 4-5km into my run, I did the other leg. Took about 6 weeks to get back to normal.
My main way to treat it now, as it flares up now and again from football, is to do calf raises during the week, like when I’m doing the dishes, making coffee at work, waiting in line for something, on the front steps coming back to the office after lunch, that sort of thing.
