I sprained my foot yesterday and next Saturday is my first 5k. :sad: I'm doing R.I.C.E...although staying off it will prove difficult with the next 2 days full of cross country, football & soccer games for the kids. Any advice? I put my shoe on this morning just for some stability when I do limp around the house. I'm sure…

Flecainide?? Anyone with V-Tach or PVC's?
Just wondering if anyone out their has been put on Flecainide? I've tried Toprol and Verapamil but neither worked.

However I have had some…
