I'm incapacitated

With the renewed vigour to get as much exercise in, last week I went to the Dam twice in one day. I saw the sunrise and the sunset. In the afternoon walk, I decided that the small piece of potato I had eaten before leaving home had given me such a burst of energy, that I had to use it up by jogging.

Oui pappy (a Grenadian expression)! A who tell mi fi do dat? Sent my body into shock apparently. The next day, woke up with achy breaky knee, quads and hamstrings (always only my left side

Today, at its worst, I was put on Cataflam 50mg instead of Voltarin since the latter is a Retard and would work slower. From all indications, and I don

Ahhh, another sufferer from Mona Dam! Where exactly is it that is hurt? With me, its the knees usually, occasionally the ankle, and once or twice the heel. Its gotten so bad now that I don't jog anymore. :-( sniff...
By the way, did you mean a crotch or a crutch? If its a crotch you need, well, this medical dilemma is even more fascinating than I thought! ;-))

you know, I never hesitated with spelling the c word! But indeed it is a crutch. Lord, if my father ever saw this, he would admonish me about the spelling.

it is only the knee and only the left knee usually. the hip thing...that was the first time. But them tablets are miracle workers cause this morning i woke up and felt no pain in the hip.

Sounds like you went to a decent doc.

I saw the crotch spelling too and wondered myself!

Well, just make sure the ailment is gone, and not just the pain, before u eat anything else and then decide to run! No more crotches for you.

Dr D, this was consultation by phone. It's great when you have doctors in the family!

I would have gone to see gywn if he worked on Thursday. Good thing he doesn't....I saved myself a doctor's fee. But at least he's not as expensive as Dr Rose! Even though I've seen Dr Rose before, because it was over 2 years ago, I would still pay the new patient's charge of 4,000.!!!! You doctors are.... lehme not say it.

there will come a day when sick people can go on the internet and diagnose themselves....or...they could come to me! Cut out the middle doctor.

Sooooo....crotchless panties were made for somebody? You seemed to be more incapacitated than you thought. (Me having a grand laugh, thanks Mich!)
