I have some pain in my hip flexors. Tonight I couldn't even do a single situp because of it.

Not looking for a fix, I know what I need to do (lay off running, etc for a while), just wanting to vent about how frustrating it is.

I hear you my friend! I decided to shoot some hoops a few days ago and then spent a few minutes seeing how high I could jump (not very!)

I stretched muscles in my thighs and calves that still aren't back to normal. Now, every time I do something the least bit strenuous involving my legs, the pain is back!

What's the point of having all these huge muscles if they hurt all the time?

I feel your pain guys! My right ankle started swelling up and throbbing a few weeks ago, I go to the doctor that my wife works for and get x-rays doneand an MRI of it. Turns out I have a bunch of little tears in the achillies tendon. I go see the doc tomorrow to see what I can do for it other than surgery. I'm not willing to give up my daily walking or martial arts training. I'll live with the pain till its unbearable. According to my wife I'm just pig headed and stubborn. Maybe I am?

I have to bump this guys! As much as my muscles hurt, it hurts worse to see all this spam at the top of our lists!

We really do need to get a moderator. Any ideas on how to go about it. I have the time, but haven't been able to contact anyone at Bestof Life who can help.

Happy to report that I'm feeling better. Got a day or two of rest and this morning I was able to run with no pain. Did two miles and felt great.
