Hey all -

I seem to have a stuck SI joint. If I forcefully kick my leg around, I can almost get it to pop back into place, but I don't be able to seem to quite get there. Short of seeing a...

Hi all,

First some details about me. I am not a runner or a weight lifter. I am a walker and I do core exercises (many of which I learned from reading threads from here). For about the last four...

First: I know most people in here aren't doctors or physios, and I am going to see my doctor, but I can't get in for ten more days. I just wanted some opinions.

I walk for exercise for two hours...

You are young. I will tell you this. Let it ****ing heal. It is not worth going though life in pain so you can look like an Abercromie model. When I was 19 I got horrible knee tendonitis. I loved to...

How did it happen to you? Lifting?

I've had some minor sciatica and some altered sensation in my big toe (cold feeling) for about two weeks now. I am pretty sure its an L4/L5 disc issue.

I was wondering if anyone here has actually...

Hi Mark, thanks for the reply.

I haven't had any neck pains in forever. I also have full range of motion in my neck. I understand what you are saying about pain away from the source, but this pain...

Thanks, PP. I hope that's all it is. Like I said, when I had the herniated disc, it was on the other side and my whole arm hurt. This is just two finger tips on the opposite side. I have an...

Hi all,

For about two weeks now I've had a burning pain in my 3rd and 4th (middle and ring finger) fingertips on my right hand. The pain doesn't spread anywhere else and I have no arm pain and...

I also wanted to add that I can do weight-free squats with no pain.

I don't know...can you get runner's knee without being a runner and without doing squats?

Sorry for asking this here. Like I...

Hey guys,

I think I have runner's knee. Well, I don't have access to a doctor, so I'm just guessing that I have runner's knee. There is a clicking and popping in my right knee when I flex it....

EVERYONE should at least take the time to read Dr. Bookspan's free articles. (okay, just found out I can't post links). Google "Dr. Bookspan and click on the first result. Ignore the cheesy homepage...

You were missing a disc????

And bone????

How does that happen?

BTW - I'm so happy you are doing better!

Hey guys,

Just an update. Saw my neurosurgeon yesterday for a two week checkup since the first time I saw him. He tested my tricep/left arm strength. He said it was virtually back to normal. I...

Absolutely. I discussed the machine with my PT (who said it's one of the kinds most PTs use in their offices). I'm going to bring it in to my next appointment and she's going to show me how to use it.

Guys -I'm overwhelmed by your support. It seriously makes a big difference to me. Thanks so much and keep any personal stories coming. Maybe others will see this thread and get the same hope you've...

Can't say for sure. No accident or injury. Just probably the cumulative effect of years of sleeping on my stomach with head to one side or a slight forward head posture while sitting.

As I've...

Crowler - That is my dream and I'm going to buy you ten cases of your favorite beer if it comes true!

Musicman - thanks. And you are right. Staying positive is key. I'm always made fun of because...

Thanks, Low. Im trying to keep my spirits up and I do have a good PT now who basically said what you did. I just hate my arm feeling so weak.

Anyway, thanks so much for your reply. It means a...

Well, I saw the neurosurgeon today. He said that I should not freak out that I am not fully healed after 6 weeks. He also said the person who originally read my MRI got it wrong and that my C5C6 is...
