It seems, my fellow pirates, that there are a few of us with more than just a couple of niggles. I have a a reoccurring calf injury that probably goes back to an injury I hd 10 years ago and now that I've upped my training, it's coming out to haunt me. So I thought I'd start the ball rolling....
List your injuries and actions taken here!
Suffolk Punch - Calf and stinking cold.
Action - phoned Physio, awaiting reply and drinking lots of hot toddies.

Something wrong with shoulder too.
Third visit to physio tomorrow and ooh, the possability of a cortizone injection to my shoulder soon.
Action taken: None
Ailments
Left knee - ITBS
Right knee - (suspect) platella tendonitis
Both calves - torn
Lungs - remnants of icky infection
Skin - being dissolved by pool
Action - change in foot position on bike for ITBS, seems to have worked, PT will have to wait for deep tissue massage when my calves are less painful, infection is slowly departing, and plenty of moisturiser for the skin!
Left knee: cartilege abrasion, lateral compartment syndrome, tendonitis
Back: spondilolisthesis (broken vertebra) at L5/S1; unidentified problem in mid-thorax
The spondilolisthesis results in weakness and (comparitive) underdevelopment of my left buttock and leg.
All that said, I still manage to keep going and am fitter than a lot of injury-free people half my age!
So there ;-)
...only to pick up a stomach bug which has knocked me out since Monday........
......but back into the swing of things today with a run.........
...otherwise mechanically sound
Action - Buying second hand police box (suprisingly spacious interior)
Ailment - TBA!!
Pain in calf (sometimes both but mostly the left)
Action: Booking physio for next week and not running for at least a week..
I think you're right, it is the same muscle and could be something to do with your riding action...
just wanted you to know ;-) but am seeing someone tonight about it so ner.....
Disc off in my neck
Buckers - where you going boarding? We were in Sauze d'Oulx last week where there was no snow and had to end up spending 1 1/2 each morning taking a series of chairlifts and a gondola over to Sestriere. Watch out for the ice - it hurts!
I can add a mending patellar tendon tear and a strong hint of impending ITBS, by the way.
The bunch of RW nuts doing the Swiss Ironman

Mt
Heavy snow is forcast for 7th which is when we get there so fingers crossed!!
I should also add to my whinjuries.....
