I don't have specific evidence to back this up, but one argument against diet sodas is their sweetness. The body gets used to this ultra-sweetness and in order to find it, people stray from vegetables/fruits to more processed food with increased sugar, etc.

I am a PT/ATC and treat this all the time. There are a couple of other areas to have looked at. Have a PT or Chiropractor look at your back and hips, even a very small problem with alignment can increase the stress in that area or create a minor nerve irritation that causes your pain to be worse (look up double crush…

A few years ago I found a DVD on Amazon called: Yoga for Inflexible People. I thought it was done well, had different sections for different body parts and had some pilates workouts on it too. It is still available and pretty cheap. Pilates for inflexible people is available too.

I was in good shape when I met my wife, playing hockey 3 times a week and lots of time in the gym. Time is one of the advantages of being single. Then graduate school, marriage, kids, work, etc pounds came back on. I then developed really bad arthritis in both knees and was unable to do much in the gym. Last May had both…

Swim and/or bike should be reasonable if not painful. Find an "upper body ergometer (UBE)" for upper extremity cardio.

Chondromalacia means "softening of the cartilage". The most common area is the patello-femoral joint but you state yours is tibial-femoral which is more of a weight bearing joint. Physical therapy will work to address the swelling, pain and restoring function (ie. running) with exercise and various modalities.

Muscle relaxers and pain killers are not appropriate for a knee sprain, may be for a back injury. Find a sports medicine doctor who can determine with an accurate exam if ligaments or the meniscus are damaged and may prescribe anti-inflammatory medication and possible physical therapy. The wait and see approach will slow…

I f you shop the major shoe sources online (ie. New Balance) they will have shoes listed, usually under "motion control" that may fit your need. I would recommend having someone fit you for shoes at a running store, then use the size information for online shopping. If you have had bunion surgery, you may benefit from an…

You can find many programs online. Just search for 5K training or walk/run programs. I found a couple of nice .pdf files with programs for my wife. Did you have you ACL reconstructed? You may want to work with a sports PT prior to running to ensure you have good eccentric quad control and good hip strength (these may lead…
