i've been doing a lot of yardwork over the last couple years that generally involves digging holes and carrying stuff over sloped terrain for a couple hours. an hour or two later i'll be sitting down and resting, and then when i stand up i get a HUGE debilitating cramp for a couple minutes on the inside of either thigh close to the knee. when it happens there's no advance warning, i'll just get up and some muscle in that area just gets incredibly pissed off that i interrupted its break. can happen with either leg and once or twice with both legs  i was thinking it could be dehydration or similar but i've had it happen despite being careful to chug a couple bottles of water during the yardwork. it's also been going on despite doing the yardwork fairly regularly all this time, so i don't think it's necessarily a strength issue either. maybe i just need to figure out the right stretch to do before yardwork idk

I had random leg pains like one day I’d sit down on the toilet and my left thigh would shoot up like I had sprained it and the day after I’d get a huge pinch right above the thigh and couldn’t walk straight and the week after my knee would just be in pain and I couldn’t stand for more than 20 minutes. I went to a physiotherapist, he tested my motion for like 25 minutes and recommended 2-3 stretches plus a switch in posture and everything was fine within 4 weeks and 3 visits. anyway the point is there are odd stretches (one of them was “lay on a table with your right leg off the edge and let it go down as far as you can”) for idiot poo poo muscles you don’t know exist and they can fix a fuckton of weird rear end garbage pains.

this is the closest place to a heath thread for me to blurt out whatever but poo poo, thanks in part to a million little things but also some posters on this forum sharing their tales and also a couple online quizzes etc, I had a chat to an old friend of mine who has ADD who recommended I read this book “driven to distraction”, and I think it seems really clear to me that I have ADD, I line up with the criteria so closely, and it explains so much about why I am the way I am it seems very positive because it indicates that often the solutions come directly from diagnosis because the solutions are derived from understanding the condition this is somewhat good news, because there is such a sense of being a failure to launch because every attempt at progress or growth has been hampered by an absolutely failure to follow thru, (except managing getting thru uni which had structure and deadlines, but still always felt like the result of understanding it easily and definitely not hard work). obviously I need to get this diagnosed properly and find some proper support, but if this is true, starting to put into place solutions might mean something like feeling like I can gain some control over putting some progress into my life, and maybe less self-loathing (one can hope right 😅)

have doctors decided whether or not you should stretch before or after warming up and if stretching is even a good thing because i can't ever get a definitive answer there was a doc that said old people fall and get injured so much because they haven't practiced balancing in 20 years and all it takes is one spot of dizziness and drat, i felt that. healthy retirees are active retirees Bhodi fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Apr 27, 2022 |

for stretching when working out, i do a relaxed quarter mile to get blood moving and stretch after, then do whatever else i was gonna do like a long run or weights. works4me.

according to the perfunctory searching i’ve done on it regular stretching can have an impact, but an acute session doesn’t really do anything. it doesn’t seem to necessarily reduce specific injury but there are some kind of stretching that can relieve pressure. like i’m prone to knee pain if i don’t regularly work my lower body anyway generally speaking it’s not quite he same thing but there’s lots of lovely free yoga available these days

i have definitely found that doing the calf stretches help plantar fasciitis. kinda like the the soleus muscle stretch, the stretch where you push up against a wall and stretch your calves by picking up one foot at a time, but bend the knee attached to the foot that’s flat on the ground to move the stretch down from your calve to your ankle and the bottom of your foot. standing on a step or a curb with your heels off helps too. not so much for improving flexibility, but to counteract your muscles tightening up at night or while sitting.

"tightness" like this isn't really a clinical thing, either http://www.greglehman.ca/blog/2021/11/12/why-you-dont-need-to-worry-about-muscle-tightness-part-1 so much of pain is perception-based and stretching does often help with that, just not for the reasons we think (if we even know the reasons at all). i think the important takeaway is to keep stretching if you think it legitimately helps but don't worry too much about not doing it consistently because it's not going to actively make things worse if you stop

GenJoe posted:"tightness" like this isn't really a clinical thing, either you must have never had plantar fasciitis, it’s inflammatory and way worse in the morning. wake up and you have to limp around tiptoe on the busted foot until you stretch the ankle back out and can stand on your ankle, and it takes months to heal. i do the same amount of running now, but I do the stretches my doctor recommended and it hasn’t come back.

I am going to keep working out and doing the stretches that my actual doctor recommended.

I ride many hundreds of miles every month during the warm season here and have never had any stress injuries or anything like plantar fasciitis. Love my very well-functioning body.
