List your annoying injuries. - Page 2

I guess mine are weak tendons (I think). If I go swimming and kick my legs slightly wrong I strain it in my left foot and then get a sharp burning pain along the top of my foot, right down to my toes. I got this at the Centre Parcs meet as some of you might remember.

It also happened in my left arm/wrist last year too. I can't really do anything about the problem apart from to ride it out and rest it until is disappears.

Arse.

I got my first pair of glasses the other day and at first I thought they weren't sitting straight because in my peripheral vision I could tell that the top of the frame wasn't level. Was only when I looked in the mirror to investigate that I realised that the glasses are fine and that it's actually my head which is on wonky. With no reference point I guess my vision has always compensated for it but now I'm noticing it all the time. Not sure yet whether I'll just get used to it or whether I'll end up correcting it.

Bend your glasses so they are correct with your eyes. You'll start to get headaches or eye strain if you don't. And it's annoying seeing the frame isn't straight

I've got tendonitis, which apparently is usually caused to sporty people through too much exercise. Obviously that could be ruled out in my case, which apparently means it was caused to my pathetic weak feet by wearing steel toecapped boots. Poor.

Is that nasty shooting burning pains along the tops of your feet? I got that from wearing steel toes at work

Briggykins · 16-06-2009, 19:36

Oh good it's not just me

Yeah, and the tendons crunch against the bone or something which just sounds unpleasant. Seems to be going away now I'm wearing weak shoes

Broken right tibia and fibula on 4th March 2008. Very, very annoying.

The glasses are straight on my face, it's just that I obviously have a slight head tilt that I didn't know about.
