Amazing how your muscles can do their job when they are tuned up properly.

Downright painful shoe. They have killing backs while counting money!

i fractured my pelvis, caused a huge bone spur on the SI joint, now i hurt all the time. most of the time not too bad luckily. several broken fingers and broken nose a few times, tore my right pec. i guess i am accident prone.

have hurt my ankles before, that is miserable. never worn a croc before just because of how they look. another good reason not to right there.

My insurance will be changing soon, and for my back issue, I hope massage therapy will be covered. Chiropractic service is covered, and I've used them for years, but I'm reading here that chiropractic service is not good for you.

It's worth a try to "try something different," so I will.

I do stretch extreme yesterday. I stretch a lot already, but I really gave it a go yesterday, and today I feel a bit better. I can only imagine what consistency will do for me.

...we'll see!

Regarding shoes and posture/spine/etc., I've seen the commercials, and I've seen a few stores that make those super expensive insoles.

Has anyone bought them? If so, please report!

Dislocated my shoulder yesterday and felt something tear. I used to dislocate it a lot when I was younger and never had it repaired. I was going to start playing golf again tomorrow. Looks like I'll wait a couple weeks.

Blast back for sure. Too many booms while seated.

5 knee surgeries on my right knee. I need a replacement, but not in my early 40s!! I know I can't run so I spend most of my time on my road bike. Going to start mixing in some swimming too.

If you get it younger you'll heal better. Of course there are dozens of factors that go into this.

My ring finger knuckle is swollen for a week now, I can't get my wedding ring on. My wife says I'm making it up. Not sure what I did(started hurting after long bike ride and falling off bike I'm sure). It's sore.

More womin are talking to me tho.

Did you notice if you got a puncture in that finger? Is it just the knuckle, or the entire finger? Hurt to flex or bend the finger?

Some good info turning out here...

It would be nice if more of the OT cats would participate. I suspect with all the beer drinking stories I read, I'd surmise a few of those cats aren't in the best shape.

...not judging here, just stating that the "health/fitness" section was/is a good idea for the fishing forum.

...wisdom

You whippersnappers just wait. Something hurts every day round here.

Actually yes, small puncture showed up about the same time...same day, I think.

Yes, it hurts to bend it. Mainly in that larger middle knuckle area...puncture is just above the first small knuckle.

Infected? I can't pop my knuckle like I normally can....kinda hurts to put that type of pressure on it. I keep thinking popping it would fix it. It's popped a few times, but no relief.

Get to a doctor...a hand doctor if one is around. Seriously. I am going through this right now. You may have infectious flexor tenosynovitis...It is an infection of the sheath surrounding the tendon. It can cost you your finger, your hand, your arm, and then your life, if that's what you have and you do not get it taken care of. Seriously. I'm on oral antibiotics right now, but if there is not significant improvement by Thursday, they'll have to incise and flush the tendon to remove the infection. Go see a doctor. Hand infections can get out of control very, very quickly. Mine started 7 days ago when I got a small puncture in my index finger from a sticker on my dog's coat...got BAD Sunday and by yesterday I could no longer extend or flex my finger through the full range of motion. Go!
