ops:

I;ll be back on form in about 5 weeks though i think

Achilles are agony when they flare up, a friend of mine had the same trouble a while ago, he had treatment and did not train for about 4 months then came back fighting fit, so the treatment must work. What is your treatment, I'll dpeak to him and see if he had the same or if not maybe he could recommend someone to you.

Best of luck though

Welcome to the board mate.

Seen quite a few of your posts already, look like you know your stuff, keep up the advice.

Where in the north west you from?

Gail · 18-08-2004, 07:57 AM

Thanks ric

having lots of deep massage which absolutely kills at the time, but releives it afterwards, and having ultrasound. Going to see a foot specialist on Friday who will look at the bio-mechanics of my feet and make suggestions for treatment and prevention of future injuries, other than that just lots of stretching. Oh, and I have to wear high heels which suits me cus I'm a short ass!

I know what you mean Gail, I dislodged 3 vertibrae in a car crash and 3 in another car crash and had 18 months of physio for each so I know how much it hurts when done but sheer relief afterwards. A Doc telling a lady to wear high heels, you must have had the biggest smile on your face ever

Are those pix of you current ??

Hey Benji,

Thanks mate, I know little through trial and error and learnt a hell of a lot through an ex-pro I used to train BB with and a few ex-semi-pro guys I know from kickboxing. I see learning as a life long curve as everything changes due to new experiences, medical studies ect...

I'm from the Mancester area, what about you ?

Hey Ric,

Congrats on getting over the car crashes.

I, like you, see life as a learning curve with different challenges and experiences to enjoy and to try and just learn as much as possible about what interests you at any one time.

I used to do a bit of boxing (schoolboy stuff) but decided it wasn't for me as I didn't like being hit!

Thanks LM600,

I appreciate your comments, I, like you do not like being hit either so I just make sure I work on my movement all the time to reduce the number of times I get hit. Seems to work, not dure why I get these headaches thought

Hey ric

I was pretty chuffed when doc said that, thought he was gonna suggest a nice pair of hush puppies!

My pics were taken in February and May this year. I look pretty similar, lost another inch from waist, back is a bit wider, chest is a bit less defined, lost a bit of strenght there, biceps are a bit bigger, thats about it.........oh and my hairs grown!

Cool,

Hush puppies, are really not the way to go

I am just waiting to get my digi cam back for the shop ( I dropped it, duh ) then I will post some recent pix of me for you to judge.

So you've taken ANOTHER inch of your waist and your back is wider, you must look awesome especially with those bigger Bi's.

How come the loss of strenght/ definition on the chest ??
