Which bit of you is hurting the most today? - Page 2

Clodfobble · 06-18-2009, 08:34 AM

Alluvial, it could be plantar fasciitis. That hurts worst first thing in the morning. "It is sometimes known as 'flip-flop disease' among US podiatrists."

My posterior tibial ligaments are KILLING me.

thanks for asking.

DanaC · 06-18-2009, 08:45 AM

Jinx...how's your hip?

Juniper · 06-18-2009, 10:20 AM

My cracked heel.

smoothmoniker · 06-18-2009, 10:42 AM

My knees have been killing me ever since I started biking to work.

So, I'm chugging Tylenol daily. I guess I need to figure out if I want my heart to go out first from lack of exercise and sedentary lifestyle, or my liver from too much alcohol and waaaay too much Tylenol.

Ah, the joys of middle age.

Is it possible the bike isn't adjusted optimally to your height? My knees used to kill me on my bike until someone informed me the seat was way too low--I was doing all the pushing with my knee joints rather than my quadraceps.

smoothmoniker · 06-18-2009, 04:16 PM

Yeah, it's set to the right height. We have a great local bike shop, and after I bought it (not from there, even!), the owner of the shop spent about an hour taking me through the paces, getting it adjusted, tweaking things.

Clodfobble · 06-18-2009, 04:21 PM

Ah well. I guess the bike shop owner didn't show you how to not be old anymore, huh?

dar512 · 06-18-2009, 04:26 PM

Maybe the bad adjustment on the seat height was the zinger for not buying it there?

Bullitt · 06-18-2009, 04:34 PM

Lower back. Trench-edging around all the mulch beds with a half-length shovel (the kind with a handle on the end, not the proper long kind) sucks.

I would pay so much money for that!

Clodfobble · 06-18-2009, 05:38 PM

Personally, my jaw is hurting the most for the last few days. I've been grinding my teeth a lot at night.

Pie · 06-18-2009, 06:30 PM

Throat. Been coughing for days...

It's not killing me, it's just hurts, pretty much every day at some point.

My hips are twisted. The right sacral crest sticks out further than the left. I'm sure that's part of it... along with hurting myself 2 years ago at the gym. Old age sucks.

DanaC · 06-19-2009, 05:09 AM

Ouch. That sounds painful. Perhaps now would be a good time to...I dunno...change your doctor to one who'll help? :p

What did you do to it btw?
