Oh and when you are old go live with your children.

My heel has been really hurting. I believe that I have a high tolerance for pain but this has been crazy bad. I started trying to do research on the net and unbelievably found almost instant relief in the form of athletic tape. I did start trying to tape my heel and fond a little relief. However, found the link below and this taping made a HUGE difference.

So thank you heelspurs.com for the information. It has made a big difference. I am almost back to normal after a month of having a significant heel pain.

Now the outstanding confusion is the other changes that I made in terms of new shoes, new orthotics and using ibuprofen cream. So I have violated scientific principles and changed too many things at once so I don’t know how all of these items interacted to make my heel better. But I do know the taping had a significant impact.

While my knee surgery seems to be successful, I am now experiencing IT band problems on that same knee. Even worse the hot spot on my other heel has turned into a continuous pain across the bottom of most of my foot. I have switched orthotics (at the advice of the doctor) which seems to be the thing that has made this so much worse. I am open to any suggestions to fix. Swimming seems to help but I don’t really have time to swim.

This is very frustrating as it seems to be a step forward and 2 steps back.

Does anyone know how to find out how many walking miles in a theme park specifically Sea World, Animal Kingdom or Disney?

Excess Pounds, but Not Too Many, May Lead to Longer Life

I had my first ride since the scope yesterday.  It was short, but it felt great.  I am not really allowed to run until approximately July 18th (a month after surgery).  My biggest fear is that I will try to do to much to fast.  I am going for a ride again tonight as long as thunderstorms hold off.  Could also do recumbent if it rains.  It is really great to be exercising again with minimal pain.

I have had significant knee pain since March. I finally have the results back from the MRI and I have a torn meniscus. My knee has been bothering me for a number of years. I couldn’t tell whether it was bio-mechanical or if there was a real issue. The MRI also showed “garbage” in the knee. Doctor said that he may flush the knee as well to remove the garbage.

Surgery is scheduled for next week. I will be glad to get it over with. I am supposed to be able to get back to training in a month. I will need to find a race to set for a goal. I am really going crazy not exercising.
