Foot and ankle pain 101

Barefoot at the beach?

bare foot

Foot and ankle pain 101. Chronic foot pain gone. But pain in Achilles’ tendon. Not enough to cause pain while running. The pain is actually more discreet. Standing sometimes, or stretching. Better call Dr Wagner.

Insight: The time to fix the roof is during good weather.

Which pain seems more reasonable?

Seriously, eating Reese’s peanut butter cup ice cream everyday after lunch and dinner would be no problem…

Test Results

Just Needed A Laugh And This Did It For Me
Just Needed A Laugh And This Did It For Me

We all have experienced this. You have medical tests done to find something, but you hope they don’t.

You want to know what’s going on so you can take corrective action, but you really hope it’s nothing serious.

But if they don’t find anything, or if it isn’t serious, why all the pain?

Ever been there?

Me too. Test results were normal.

Something Is Seriously Wrong

Prefontaine Was Legendary For Pain Endurance

Ever have some ache or pain and wonder what to do about it? Wonder how long it will last? Or expect it to go away in a few days?

Me too.

For three weeks, resting, stretching, taking it very easy, being careful.

And the pain is getting worse.

Much Too Young To Feel

To Live Without My Music Would Be Impossible To Do
To Live Without My Music Would Be Impossible To Do

We all love music don’t we. And tonight, New Year’s Eve, we’ll most likely be listening to great music. What a joyous occasion New Year’s Eve is for so many people.

One of my favorite songs from legendary Country singer, Garth Brooks is “Much Too Young To Feel This Damn Old“.  It reminds me of all the resolutions people make to get in shape, lose weight, quit smoking, etc.

Last week, I was reminded of this and had to laugh. The morning that I was heading to the Podiatrist for long-term foot pain, was the same morning an email came from the USATF, United States Track and Field.

The email announced the deadline was fast approaching for the 2010 Master’s Track & Field Indoor World Championships, in Kamloops, British Columbia.

Good thing I have a sense of humor, and a box of tissues.
