I walked past a pool table on saturday night and knee'd the coin slot, straight on the patella, the tissue beneath is really sore it's a good job i'm currently about as much use to a fellrace as Anne Frank's drumkit.

Brightside, you have got to be the most unlucky fell runner in history. If the IT bands dont get ya, the coin slot sure will.Quote:

Bound to be some at the Snowdon race today but hopefully none serious!
Pull the other one?
Ignore this now. Intruder removed.
21 stitches below the knee for Claire R after the Pincyn race yesterday. The interesting thing about this is that it probably wasn't a piece of sharp Welsh slate or a broken bottle in the undergrowth - it's been suggested to me that it was more likely a burst injury where, on impact following the fall, the skin below the knee pulled down so much it ripped open or burst the skin below the joint!
Hello, i just finished my major training program on sunday...
But to my dismay it ended with a swollen Achilles tendon in the middle portion... somewhere between then calf and the bottom part of my Achilles tendon. 4 days have past and its getting better the swelling has gone away but i can still feel some pain and and small bump on the outer side of the tendon not exactly on the BACK side of the tendon... could anyone suggest any kind of therapy ? i am trying to recover from this injury as soon as possible due to my registration in the Ultra trail Du mont blanc 2010 ?
*i have about 22 days to recover do you think its enough ?
does anyone have any kind of suggestions ? thank you

Sounds like Achilles Tendonitis. See above link. I've seen off AT with these exercises two or three times (I don't do the stretch, just the first three). The most recent with symptoms just like you've described and within the time-scale you've got
Good luck with re-hab and UTMB! :cool:
I hurt my tendon on 08/01/2010; to a point That it got swollen. It hurt from the first hour on a 58K trail run with +3100m ~10h ... i have not run SINCE ITS Much Better , it Feels ok when i walk or stretch ... Some advice: I'd like to start testing how or What Would You do in my position till the race .. Though i have tried swimming to keep in shape.
Another thing now is that the tendon is not hurting but i have a pain inside the calf... could this be from over massaging or over physiotherapy ?
thank you
