Just keep doing them (even 50 at a time if necessary) until the pain is gone. Let me know when the pain is gone in your leg and you only feel it in your back - then we will talk again :o).sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-82352374929384714592013-04-15T13:36:04.228+02:002013-04-15T13:36:04.228+02:00PT&USR- I had never thought of running exactly...PT&USR- I had never thought of running exactly like that.

Fascinating that these stretches worked for your shin probems, though I am not surprised because my pain was also all the way to my shin. <br /><br />Probably not a good idea to get me started with yoga since I could go on for AGES about how wonderful it is, but this is something everyone has to disover for themself. (glad you are getting something out of it!)<br /><br />Btw- if it works "some or most of the time" the extensions should in theory work ALL the time if you do enough of them frequently enough. I know- it's a question of time.sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-85236547100354129512013-04-15T13:30:59.488+02:002013-04-15T13:30:59.488+02:00Haha.

That is a very impressive way to finish Chippewa, given the massive hill. <br /><br />I have considered the piriformis as the source of the problem. But I DON'T get why a problem there would be helped so much by back extensions. If I go into physical medicine and rehab, I sure do have a lot to learn.

A PTA student suggested the same stretch and it works, some, or most of the time. I've also started (as a yoga hater), doing non-intimidating yoga, which is also helping. A doctor would have said, 'shin splints,' and 'plantar fasciitis.'

The first time I had it, I thought it was sciatica, because of the pain radiating down the leg. Second time it was "pseudosciatic nerve compression." Third time, the pain radiated into my testicle and I ended up seeing an urologist and discovered that transcretal ultrasound is really painful and embarrassing. <br /><br />Finally, I found it hurt most when I'd been sitting for a long time (like the drives to the North Shore) and the standard "baseballer stretch" took care of it. Back extensions help a bit, too.SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-46471042688524915602013-04-14T19:09:12.187+02:002013-04-14T19:09:12.187+02:00I'm laughing so hard...
