I injured my ankle about 2 years ago - running I think, and did not rest it... I stopped running and switched to the bike and elliptical, but that hurt, so I started swimming for a while, until that started to hurt my back/hip, so I cut it down and added yoga, which didn't help much and also hurts. I just gave up this week and stopped everything and have ice on me as I type - because its hurting just sitting... we can send people to the moon, but the doctors can't find a way to fix stupid sports injuries! So frustrated this week, glad at least I'm not alone (though not glad you are in pain!). I hope you find an answer!Liahttp://www.novemberchill.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218192137395097116.post-68880877841784266042010-03-01T10:44:22.608-05:002010-03-01T10:44:22.608-05:00heather,
so sorry to hear you're in so much ...heather, <br /><br />so sorry to hear you're in so much pain. i liked what the last person said about giving your body a rest, it can make a world of difference.<br /><br />i've been struggling with my own medical shit - kidney disfunction, gout, and probably arthritis. my ankle's been perpetually swollen and painful for over a year now, resulting in no physical activity, along with meds that cause weight gain. its been a frustrating year to say the least.<br /><br />im hoping im coming to the end of it all, but if there's one thing i've learned -- and to be sure, there are those with far worse probs than mine -- its that regardless of what you want, your body will heal when its ready. you can do what you can, but at a certain point it has to be a change in the way you think about it, rather than expecting yourself to be better overnight.<br /><br />i really hope you're feeling better soon<br /><br />good luck!<br /><br />- zjpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218192137395097116.post-52880333765169877402010-02-24T21:40:39.547-05:002010-02-24T21:40:39.547-05:00Sometimes you need to let go of it, let your body ...Sometimes you need to let go of it, let your body heal. When I got back from Afghanistan I was doing 35 miles over the weekdays, recoving on the weekends. Got down to 7 minute miles in 5-8 mile increments, or 6 minute miles in 2-3 mile increments. Got shin splints for the first time in my life. Couldn't run for a month and a half. It was awful, not running. Watching all my hard-earned work melt away. But I gave my left leg the time it needed to heal. Started running again a few months later, and now--not back to that peak, but I can push it pretty well. I guess what I'm saying is give your body the space it needs to get healthy. Don't try to push it too early.Charivariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11070014255371442694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218192137395097116.post-30298093383087316742010-02-24T19:36:16.666-05:002010-02-24T19:36:16.666-05:00You might have a hernia (?)
