Pardon me while I vent. I think I am falling apart. Every week or two it is something new. First it was my right ankle, than it was my left ankle. Finally, the left ankle heals and now my left heel is tender. Dammit! I am 31 years old, not 81! I stretch, ice, heat and massage every chance I get,...

Should i take out a splinter by myself?

Over a year ago I was helping a friend move. While helping, I got what I thought was a splinter in my thigh. A year later and it is still there! It doesn't hurt or anything, but I'm just tired of it being there and wondering why it is still there. I mean, shouldn't a splinter have disolved by...

Do i really have shin splints?

Hey guys, so here's the long and the short of it. I had to stop running around a year ago because of chronic pain that I had chalked up to be shin splints.

Stress fracture or shin splints?

Hello! I run marathons and for the past few months I've had ongoing shin pain on the same shin. In late March, maybe early April I had an MRI done for the same shin (however it is much more painful this time) and was clear. Just some irritation to the bone before and swelling. So I took a few weeks...

Hurt my ankle but the pain is not going away, what could be the problem?

I hurt my ankle two weeks ago while jogging. I did not twist it, so far as I can tell. I was just running along, feeling good, and then suddenly my ankle began to hurt. A lot.
