Personal Health (Aching Calf Muscles)

[Alycidon]

Hurt my left shoulder 2 years ago lifting 1m lengths, carried on as I only had maybe 10 days of work to do. Last year was the same but it never recovered properly, if now hurts to change gear in the truck. Legs and knees are fine for my age, not going to process much this year, just buy in from abroad,

I have probs with my back, neck, shoulders, knees etc. Even the dog oil dos not work like it used to. I better send for the knacker man

It is a case of forced rest for the parts concerned for me that helps. I'm fortunate to do a variety of work in my self employment, which helps.

The wife was at the doctors couple of weeks back with tennis elbow,its basically tendonitis,she was advised to rest her arm as much as possible and take anti inflamitories.

Its still giving her problems...

Been there done that, it's even worse if anything. I've tried every anti inflamitry there is, doctor said cortisone injection won't help golfers elbow, it's so painful I have to use my left hand to flush the flippen loo! Not good.

We should all go on benifits , they all seem healthy .

Working for a living kills you !

I have had a combination of both golfers and tennis elbow for over 20 years. My physio just said, "Well, we can't fix everything" - and wouldn't do or advise any treatment which I thought was a little uncaring to be honest!

 

A bit of research on has turned up that there are two approches to use. Either ice it, or heat it, combined with rest and all the usual.

 

Last week I started icing for 15 minutes twice a day, as I invested in these ( and have them on right now in fact): [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/TWINPACK-Reusable-Shoulder-Injury-Compress/dp/B00IJYLDSC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1460380498&sr=8-1&keywords=TWINPACK%3A+Large+Reusable+Hot+Cold+Pack+Ice+Gel+Heat+Pad+%7C+Back+Knee+Shoulder]TWINPACK: Large Reusable Hot Cold Pack Ice Gel Heat Pad | Back Knee Shoulder Ankle Injury | Compress Strap Sleeve Wrap: Amazon.co.uk: Health & Personal Care@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/4116MOzq3EL.@@AMEPARAM@@4116MOzq3EL[/ame]

 

Although in such a short time, the pain is not gone, but I certainly feel like it is lessening. I'm sure its not just a my imagination or a placebo effect.

 

The idea of heating the area is to increase blood flow to the aggravated tendons, but to my mind, they are inflamed so icing was my preferred route.
