    Not really an injury, more like wear and tear: achy shoulder when lifting, but aa mid-session biofreeze application helps.

    I love me some biofreeze. That stuff is my go to soreness reliever

    I was really surprised at how well it works!

    My arch and ankle got injured by a 5 mile walk in ill fitting shoes. It's been months and while I started wearing different shoes the injury is still here despite an arch and ankle brace, massager and stretches. I'm thinking I may actually need an evaluation.

    Either my knee arthritis has suddenly progressed, or I have some sort of injury. Pain, swelling, locking, popping means I can't walk the dogs, ride my bike, or even get in/out of my kayak or do much of anything - it's so frustrating.
    Getting some imaging done and hoping it is some sort of acute injury (that can heal or be repaired) rather than just worsening arthritis - cause I can't live like this. :(

    Xray and ultrasound showed some progression of arthritis, but Dr. doesn't think it explains my symptoms. She thinks it sounds like a "loose body" and is referring me for an MRI and to see a surgeon.

    So while I wait to wind my way through the Cdn health system: just wondering if anyone has ever had a "loose body" in the knee joint that didn't show up on Xray, but showed on MRI or during arthroscopy? I do have a fairly large baker's cyst with debris, and also osteophytes.

    Chainsaw injury for hubby's thigh/knee. Have pictures if interested.


    For myself, wrist injury from work.

    My knee diagnosis is "pain with activity." That's helpful >.<

    Very helpful. My ultrasound report said "moderate effusion of uncertain etiology". Also super helpful.

    Most recent injury was a lower back tweak doing deadlifts with bad form a couple months ago. Rest and light rehab got me back in the gym again.

    Tomorrow's scheduled workout: deadlifts. Gulp! (J/k, I love me some deadlifts!)

    Bulging disc (desk slouching) resulting in sciatica since JUNE. Disc has mostly sorted itself (with some chiro input, me trying not to slouch and doing stretches for it), but sciatica is not improving so I can't run and can barely walk 2 miles, martial arts are difficult and painful. Legs and hips are in bits, it's unfun - do not recommend.

    It's been a tough summer for my poor right leg. Left is OK, unscathed. Background note: I'm 67, and I don't heal as snappily as I used to, plus I'm beginning to experience some fragility in my lower legs' skin.

    (1) I ride a bike a fair amount. I ride flat pedals. Most flat pedals have nasty little traction pins that can do some contact damage to your lower legs. With the trails very crowded this year, with many users not aware or interested in trail etiquette, I experienced a number of incidents where I had to do sudden maneuvers or stops, and whacked my right leg (it's the one I habitually put down when stopping). In a couple of incidents, the pedal took some good bloody divots. I finally found pedals that work and don't have any sharp pins, and that problem ceased. It took a few weeks for the last of the wounds to heal.

    (2) I had a near collision with another, speeding, cyclist in July. I was able to do a sudden stop (disk brakes are great!), but my interia caused me to tumble over, entangled in the bike, impacting my poor right leg, of course. I had extensive bruising and swelling (hematomas), which took a long time to clear. In fact, it is October now, and I still have a little hard knot and residual darkening above my right knee.

    twisted my ankle while out for a healthy walk - as compared to an unhealthy walk, haha
