Like Pengy says MG, get it seen too soon, you don't want to miss the 3 Peaks:)
Best of luck marra.
Ankle ligaments healed up now, so running will resume. :)
Thanks guys. I applied the frozen peas last night DT!
You know, I think it is going to be alright. No pain in it today (unless I prod it!) although I have not ran on it yet! Still a lump on the tendon though.
I do remember having something like this on the back of my achilles and it eventually went away on it's own. Sore to the touch but didn't prevent me from running, so I hope this will be the same.
Read a little bit about it and apparently it can be caused by having ones running shoes fastened too tight.
Sounds like an inflamed tendon from rubbing against your shoe. Protect it from any friction/pressure - 2 pairs of socks, different/loose shoes, a couple of band aids - basically don't do anything that hurts for a while - should settle quickly.
Yes I think you are right Mike thanks. Nothing too serious thankfully! :)Quote:

Proper gutted, definitely last time I play a proper match.
Hope it clears for easter holidays, I doubt it.
Did 18 miles and 4500' on Sunday and had some soreness down the outside of my left leg, from thigh down to heel. Fine on Monday, ran again yesterday night (7 miles and 2000' including a fairly aggressively run steep descent (from 3 Fingers Rock on Caradoc). Now have a very sore thigh on the outside. It's ok when I'm not moving, but sore when I walk or whatever. Pain is concentrated just below my hip.
Any ideas what this is or what to do about it?

Sounds to be in the area of the Tensor Fascia Lata, it connects your ITB to your Pelvis i think. Did you go over on the ankle? Even if it wasn't painful at the time the tension can be transferred all the way up the outside of your leg and damage the Tensor, i tore the collagen that attatches the tensor to the pelvis once- took 4 months of physio to sort it, play it careful JT.Quote:

What you're suggesting does sound plausible though. I've just recovered from an ankle problem which resulted in a DNF at Edale for me :-( I went over on it doing a BG Leg 1 recce in all the rough stuff coming off Skiddaw about a month ago, thought nothing of it (no sprain, just a brief bit of soreness which I ran off), but then had what felt like cramp in my calf and hamstring later in the night. It was ok to run on a few days later but that must have really aggravated it - I was in some discomfort with a dead leg feeling in my calf the following Thursday, Friday and Saturday, but again it felt a bit better on the Sunday so I pitched up at Edale and ran. It blew up big time at the start of the climb to Win Hill (predicatably). I saw a sports physio the following day and again on the Thursday. He thought it was probably a fibula misalignment caused by the original ankle twist which was perhaps trapping a nerve or reducing blood supply into the calf. He realigned and taped it, and then worked on the calf muscle in the following session. I started running again a fortnight ago, and have steadily increased the workload since then with little problem until I went for the long run on Sunday.
I'm not sure whether it's a separate issue or related to the original ankle thingy, but I'll take it easy and see the physio again next week unless the symptoms clear up. I'm entered for the 3 Peaks next weekend and wouldn't like to blow that one too...
I suppose I should probably be thankful that it's the first real injury issue I've had since I took up fellrunning a couple of years ago. I've seen people suggest that when your fitness jumps forward you can be at more risk of injury as your mechanics catch up with the CV fitness, and that might be the case here as I've been running 10 to 20% faster times than I was last year...
Cheers

Came off the bike on Otley Chevin today, knocked out for 30 secs or so after my head smashed into a rock and by face slowed me down by scraping along the floor. Ambulance and hospital job, can't tell you how much it stings right now.
Paramedics wanted to chop my FRA tee off to look at my shoulder joint, which thankfully wasn't dislocated in the end- No way Jose! just yank up the sleeve, i've got full range of movement.

Nasty mate, at least you'll still be able to run (although you may get mistaken for a fleeing criminal and get arrested). I once did similar when I was about ten, came off a makeshift sledge we were using on a grassy hill and landed on the pavement at the bottom on my face. Bled like hell as well, I looked like a burns victim for weeks.
ps - I saw you out running the other week, just at the top of station road.
Bloody hell Luke, the lengths some folk will go to to post on this thread!Quote:

Sweet Baby Jesus, you look like you went ten rounds with JohnM32. Hope you are feeling better soon.
Yeah, my little 2 miler up to Bluebell woods.Quote:

This was me yesterday before i set off on a mission to try and get some industrial strength drugs for the pain.

Question: Do any of you medically minded people know why i have a big area of blood in the white of my eye?
Not a doctor but could be burst blood vessels in eye, is your vision ok?Quote:

Trauma to the eyeball can cause a bleed into the white of the eye - a so called subconjunctival haemorrhage. They would have had a good look at your eye at the hospital. I assume your vision is OK and your pupil unaffected - the same size as the other one and no blood visible within the coloured bit - and it responds to light by shrinking. The commonest cause of this is in fact spontaneous - probably from the eye being rubbed in sleep. In itself it is of no consequence but is pretty scary to look at. See your GP if there is concern.Quote:

Advice from a club mate is to man up, ignore medical advice, down a packet of ibuprofen and neck a load of whisky and just get on with it........ hmmmmm
hmm, mixed news from the physio. Flat back/chronic stiffness seemed to be the issues. Not sure how I'm going to cope with just 15 miles a week, grim. On the positive side it seems fixable with some muscular correction as the boney bits seem fine
Looks like I'll be doing a lot of swimming this summer
knee pain - lateral (outside) side. seems my ITB aint liking my mileage or the rough ground - not high, just too high and rough for my soft london legs. lots of REST coming up, oh, and strengthening my gluts and left psoas which is way too weak. and my knee is more clicky now....quads to be worked on as well.
You need a Physio Cyclops ;) Can Zepher help?Quote:
