You need to let the injury recover. I herniated 2 lumbar discs many years ago. The ortho and neuro I went to both restricted me to core, swimming and walking for 3 months after the injury. Walking was done PAIN FREE. I was able to gradually increase the distance as my pain level allowed. Here's a question for the group....What can I do about cramping that occurs in the posterior tibalias of one of my feet every time I swim? I feel I have enough fluid within me. This morning before I swam I had at least 55 oz of fluid in the form of water. I feel nutrition-wise I was good too. It is so annoying....... Thanks I actually never have this issue with cramping .....but Marianne had some good suggestions. |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() The day I went to the doc I asked her, "Exercise as tolerated?" and she said yes. We know each other, from the same town, go to the same church, and have been to the same 5k's - so she knows what I do. The only restriction I got was to NEVER shovel snow again. I have mixed feelings about that. I am mostly pain free and mostly drug free. Remaining in one spot (sitting) for too long caused me to get stiff in that area. Don't worry - I won't hurt myself. (again) |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() mav - 2010-01-19 9:59 PM I ve got the same prob. Are you pushing off the wall equally with both feet? Does this occur when you wear fins? ( stop wearing them...they are not allowed in races) Have you made sure you are getting enough calcium and Potassuim? Bananas /oranges/potato/dairy ...you know I do several exercises prior to my long swims...espicially for the feet I stand on my tip toes X10 sec rest for 5 and repeat Hope some of that may help! Thanks for the ideas. I am not sure about off the wall. I will investigate. As far as nutrition, I feel I am pretty good there. Usually, fruits and yougurts for breakfast and snack prior to swims. It always seems to happen about 1/2 to 3/4 across the pool when they do happen. It usually feels like a long sustained cramp rather the an instantenous seizing one. I am always afraid of making a scene in the pool because of it....but it would give the lifeguard something to do. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Mornin All, I apologize for being MIA the last 10 days. Work has been crazy and then the computer got hit with a virus last week and I lost all control of it. So after buying a new desktop I'm back. I may have to put off buying the S1 for a month or two. Just found out our contract negotiations are not going well so I may be on strike by the end of the month. We'll see what happens!! The hamstring is still tight but doing better. Just trying to drink more fluid and stretch it whenever I can. You know what they say if you're injured "rest and come back SLOWLY"!!!!! Enjoy the day everyone!!! Chris |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Lunch hour workout went great! Did 30 minutes (and 7 seconds) on an exercise bike with a cross country program. It said I went 7.5 miles. I wonder how accurate those bikes are on distances? After that, I wanted to do a tiny run, so...I did a rehab run, of sorts. 5 minute run at 10 mm pace, 1.0 incline 3 minute walk at 2.0 incline 2 minute run at 2.0 incline 2 minute walk at 3.0 incline total of 1 mile. Only thing barking today were my calves from that bike ride! 636 calorie burn, if you keep track of such things. ![]() Ok. Back to work. |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() [sarcasm]I'm happy to report that I'm still sick.[/sarcasm] It's been since January 3rd that I had my last bout of exercise. I have been sick with the flu the following week. I thought things were improving last week but they're not. I am heading to the clinic today (depending on the wait time, I'm not patient at all when sick) or first thing tomorrow morning to get that checked again and to get a chest x-ray. I suspect my flu turned into bronchitis or pneumonia. I have this itch to return to play but it would not make sense to do that. I'm trying my best to take things in stride. I'll practice my yoga poses instead. Stay healthy folks! Nathalie |

Chris Oh suckage major about a potential strike! We are not allowed to strike....they would throw us in jail....which if you think about it is pretty dumb cause then there STILL would be nobody to look after the sick!! |

Had another crap-tacular day a work... doing physical labour for 6 hours after being at a desk for 5 years, really does suck. I sure hope I don't get injured because it's like going from the couch to running a 10 k over night... NOT advisable. Yeah but you are a stud....so you can handle it!!!! |
