Knee problem

[Admiral Huddy]

This sound the same as me.. I have developed tendonosis in both calfs.. Can I ask a silly question.. Do you walk or run awkwardly. I tend to walk and run on the balls of my feet which puts strain on the joints and calfs.

How the **** can you run on the balls of your feet, even a Dalek has more mobility...

I roll my heels out apparently which is weird as most people roll in. The tendonosis is related to a calf muscle injury that I have no idea how I got, possible being stood on by half a tonne of horse but that was years ago. My achilles tendons though....meh. Sometimes they feel like they're about to ping

I'm sure it's not this thats related to it, I've only had one physio sesh and that was last week.

ALSO! I have pain left side of my spine, half way down, def muscular and this drives me NUTS! I end up getting a ball and rolling it up and down against a wall. Possibly rib related. I get this all the time.

Shoot me now! I need a live in masseur. Called Sven. In a loincloth.

Awkwardly.. I think it stems from when I was younger.. I was the tallest lad in the class by miles for years and I stooped a bit.. I don't do it as much now.. but i still do.. As for running.. a lot more people run on tgheir balls (excuse the pun ) then what you think.. When I run on my heels to roll, then my foot goes slightly outwards..

Its gone when I wake up. This has gone on for about 36hours now though and it definitely radiating up my thigh in a very definite thin line. Also seems to be at the bottom of the front of my calf where my leg meets my foot.

Dont get me wrong, it's not horrible pain, it's a fizzy burning feeling. Uncomfortable but fine. If I poke my knee it feels better while the poking is happening then is back as soon as I stop.

Will see doc in the am

I've always sat with my knees bent out in funny ways and I have flexible knees so it was comfy. It was only on starting to weight train that I discovered that I had overstretched the ligaments on the inside of my knee from doing that and now have a weakness there. I used to get that fizzy burn pain when I did leg extensions.

Get to the docs and check nothing is wrong then strengthen them knees!

I always find that too, if im hurting a good poking usually takes the pain away.

Pebs, rest it. Apply warm heat and do gentle exercise when you're up to it.

Sounds like you're too heavy on either the accelerator or brake to me

Oh, and try Ibuleve gel - works really well on problems like that IME.

Canny offer you any advice.

But I can offer you snogs and smooches
