^%$#%^ Injured AGAIN #@#$^$

[roadie gal]

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. I'm injured AGAIN! It seems like I'm able to run for about a month and then I hurt myself. Now my left calf is strained. I was on the treadmill for less than 2 minutes and pulled up lame. I AM SO TIRED OF THIS. &&^%#$#%&*((%#) !!!!! I've been on one month, off four for the last year.

I'm stretching, and massaging, and using The Stick, and taking Motrin, and wearing a neoprene calf sleeve to work. Hopefully I can limit this to a week or two and not the 4-6 months that all of my previous injuries have been.

AAaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!

I'm sorry Roadie, that must be very discouraging. Not sure what advice to give, accept that I hope things get easier soon!

Out of curiosity have all of your injury runs been on treadmills?

[Tri Girl]

Just want to say ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH with you. I can feel your pain...





Are you going to a running doc? If so, what does he/she say? I was having quad/knee injuries and finally saw a running specific orthopedic doctor who really helped me out. (ok- you didn't ask for advice, sorry).

[Iris616]

That stinks! Sorry you are injured again.

Ugh, I am sorry and I can totally sympathize. I've had one after another as well. it gets so frustrating. I hope you are able to find an answer and heal quickly!

[OakLeaf]

Heal up quick.

That's the pits, roadiegal. I injured my back in December and haven't been riding or spinning since, and do I ever miss the activity. I hope you mend very soon!

[roadie gal]

Thanks everyone for the good thoughts. I was just so frustrated yesterday. At least I can swim and bike.

Hot tub time? In the name of recovery of course. Good healing juju coming your way.

Hope you feel better soon!

Roadie Gal: I had the exact same troubles (still dealing), and I certainly feel your frustration. I finally went to see a physical therapist. They helped me tremendously with VERY deep tissue massage (aka, torture sessions), and helped me to work out a plan to get back on the road. I think it made a huge difference for me.

Keep up the stretching -- go deep and almost overdo it, and the stick (my new favorite friend ). Resting it is the hardest part. Stay off hills! That's where I re-injured myself every time.

Hang in there.

That's so frustrating! Have you thought about learning to race walk? Take care of yourself and I hope it heals quickly.

I used to be injured all the time... but then I went to a store where they are really specialised in runningshoes. First you have to run on a treadmill, so that they can analyze the way you run and according to that they give you the shoes you really need, in stead of the ones you really think are cool...

Maybe that's a solution?

I'm beginning to wonder if it's my shoes. I changed to Mizuno a couple of years ago... about when things started. But they're the only ones that don't give me blisters. I may have to go to Sacramento (100 miles from me) to get that kind of running evaluation.
