Good Orthotics can make a huge difference...

Late last year I went and got fitted for orthotics from a sports med podiatrist. I ran with these orthotics all winter. During this time I suffered from ITBS. I would tell the Dr. and his reply was that I needed to run less. I didn't like that reply and just stuck it out. This spring the pain...

Hello all, I have recently started back running, but to my dismay I am starting to suffer from serious tibialis anterior muscle fatigue while running. It comes on usually after a mile or two and will go away if I stop and walk for a bit. It is so fatigued that I cannot bend my foot up towards my...

Will my toenail grow back?

Answered by a doctor

I dropped a very large object on my big toe toenail. I am not a doctor, but it swelled up and I guess the toenail became seperated from my toe. Anyways, it has gone back to normal size (the toe). I noticed that my toenail was not connected to my toe any more. And it started itching real bad. Just...

Is it possible to get a harmstring injury from stretching?

Hello, My first post on any forum, so here goes. I'm 51 and seem to have cross-training down to an art form--translation: I'm not particularly good at any of the things I do (run, lift, bike and tennis), but I work out at least 5 days per week and rarely do the same thing two days in a row. The...

How to deal with post-marathon running pain?

Answered by a doctor

I ran my first marathon (twin cities) in early October... beat my goal time of 3:10, but I haven't had a good run since. I trained for 5 months prior to the race (Hal's Advanced 1) and had no issues. I tried to be patient after the race... nearly 3 wks running 1-2x per week and just running 3x per...

Lisfranc post surgery - feel tendon moving on top of foot under cast

I had a plate and screws put in for a lisfranc fracture about two and a half weeks ago and am in a hard cast. I've been moving my toes since a week after surgery, but in the last couple days I've noticed that when I move my big toe up, I can feel a tendon sort of painfully moving and sliding. Is...

Pulled hamstring muscle? how long should I lay off it?

During last night's (crisp) evening tennis practice, I pulled my right hamstring. :x Any advice on how long should I lay off it? Are there any stretches I should perform to help it recover faster? Or is it best to just leave it alone? Thanks!
