Pea gravel is rounded small gravel. It is found in some driveways. It is not the crushed gravel you usually see, and it moves around and never really forms a solid surface.
I injured my shoulder once in a rodeo. I did not listen to my doctor, and took off the brace and started catching baseballs before I should have. By not following my doctor's orders, the injury went on a long time. Go see a doctor, and I think he'd agree that a month off is what you need.
I've heard since it was an unusual amount of stress that I don't normally have it may heal quickly
I'm fine with taking a month easy
But if this last years I may as well just give up entirely
A month of swimming or bicyclling, and upper-body lift is not giving up. I bet you're a long-distance fag, and like most of those you need the upper body workout anyway.
I used to be a runner, too. Sorry if I my specualtions were wrong or insulting, it was meant to be funny.
My best Two-Mile run was 11:02. I'm still pretty pround of it.
Proud, I meant.
I'm trying to get into long distance and free running
And I never even got to run in my transitional shoes and my foot is already messed up
Some blame shoes for mankind's physical problems. I can't stand barefooting, personally. After 14 days of rest, you might try hiking. And you should look into the arcane theory of "grounding." -Which involves hiking in mocassins. SEE wwwDot.moccasinscanada.com/mens/moccasin-boots/earthing-cork-moosehide
Is hiking really the best option since that's pretty much the cause of this?
I've always felt unnatural in big shoes but my mother always forced me to wear them.
Good question. I like hiking, and never had the same problems from that as running. "Earthing" with moccasins gets your foot bones and muscles a little work-out.
I'd be up for something like that once it doesn't hurt to walk anymore. Unfortunately I can't get out of my long work shifts
My podiatrist taught me how to tape my feet, and ordered 500 dollar inserts. I'd suggett Spenco Total Support insoles, which are less than 30 bucks: https://www.amazon.com/Spenco-Total-Support-Insoles-Womens/dp/B008CJNTI6?th=1
@StrawberryArmada Night splints worked wonders for my plantar fasciitis. I only had to wear them a few nights and it was gone, after weeks of pain.
Do you know where I can get one?
Walgreens or cvs
This is one I like the best. Got at Walgreens
Anyone online?
What's up brother?
I got a swollen bee sting. Should I just wait it out, or do something about it?
Not particularly painful, but annoying to walk with because it's on my foot
How bad is the swelling? I assume you're not allergic
@Helbrecht - WA The side of my foot has noticeably grown, though I can still put shoes on.
Not allergic
Benadryl would be best. It'll slow down and stop anything that could be going on. And if you know where exactly the bee sting is a baking soda and water paste on it will draw out the bees venom which will help a lot too
As long as your whole foot isn't swelling up and you're not having other symptoms it's nothing to be too worried about 😃
@Helbrecht - WA Thank you
No problem!
Aye and ice and elevation can't hurt either
@Deleted User Thank you too
All of the above is great
@everyone who will be going to an event any time soon? I'm going to be making small kits for the medics in the crowd, and an ambulance bag for the triage point/medic truck. For the higher ups, I think this would be the best way to coordinate the medic teams. C-ville was kind of a cluster-f for us, and I think we should focus on getting structured. This includes comms, universal kit setups, a point that all elements (security, etc.) Know where to take someone for medical care.
Great idea, Joe. I know we'd be interested in those kits.
We're working on some better concoctions to deal with injuries from bear mace, acid, and bleach.
Our own ambulance service would be a good idea too, with a truck/van waiting to medevac someone to the nearest hospital.
