I'll be 54 in September and I do run a lot. I thought about a stress fracture, but think it is posterior tibial tendonitis - that matches the location of the pain and swelling, but some of the characteristics of the injury don't match. Our medical situation is a nightmare. I gave up on trying to get any health care because I got so tired of wasting time and money only to get bad advice and even be misdiagnosed. Erica |

I'm really hoping you recover soon! We've got so many similar medical mysteries between us, and I'm just like you, as soon as my knee felt remotely able to do something again on it, I went and it reinjured it. Back to just simple walking and stretching for me, which oddly I've really started to enjoy. I think I've finally learned my lesson this time.
I'm so sorry about your MIL. My MIL had breast cancer about 20 years ago, and she's fine now. I'll be thinking of your family. Hugs to you, and I hope this setback doesn't set you back too far. |

I think my MIL will be okay after treatment. But she's become such a burden since my FIL died last year and this is going to be very hard. I don't know what we're going to do with her after major surgery and if she has chemo. We had no relationship with her because she was awful to us until she was alone and needed us. Now she calls constantly with her wants/needs/demands. It's been very difficult. Erica |

On my painful days (peripheral neuropathy), I do chair dancing/walking.
I just play a favorite dance or walk video with loud music while sitting on a chair and tweak the moves to be more vigorous. Sometimes I hold light weights. (I used to sit and bounce on a large stability ball but it busted!)

I do have a slightly elevated TSH but it's not in range where they'd medicate me (I also had this in my 20s when I was on the pill and I tried synthroid at that time. It made my heart race and gave me palpitations and then made my symptoms worse! I was immediately taken off that). So I really am not interested in trying that again, especially since I don't handle meds well at all. My doctor is a big believer in diet and exercise and isn't one to just throw a pill at it, so he'd like me to just make some diet tweaks (basically smaller portions and more veggies) and literally just walk daily and do CS. He thinks all the overexercising from the past few years was too much for my declining hormones and he'd like to retest my bloodwork in a few months. He doesn't think anything is dire and hopes that giving my body a break will help even things out. I'm also going to an acupuncturist who is also a neuroscience researcher, and he was a physician in China for many years. He has all of my bloodwork and feels like the drop in hormones is likely what triggered all of the problems including my elevated TSH. He's hoping to at least calm my nervous system down and see what happens in a few months to a year. I'm also really been following Pahla B's advice about mindset and making peace with my body instead of trying to get it to do something that it just can't do anymore. I am able to do a lot of her workouts even with my knee, so at least that's something. I really hope your injury heals soon, keep us posted! |
