Arrrgggghhh.

I seem to be having a run of injuries just now!!

I tweaked a hamstring about a fortnight ago just as I was getting back to running decent distances again. I have rested up and ventured out yesterday for a bit light jogging.

Around 3 minutes in the same leg went again!! It looks as if I may be out of action for some time.

So so frustrating!!!!!

Sorry. Moan over.

You poor thing. Hope you get better soon and you can get your exercise in other ways. Very frustrating😥

Think it will be dog walking and perhaps some swimming JSS

Very frustrating - here's hoping that with rest (and ice) you are back out there soon.

Thanks Sandra. Been using so much recently IHave run out of ice. Might try ice lollies next :)

That's a real bummer sorry to hear you are out injured

Have you seen a go or physio?

Might be worth a visit as it hasn't healed

I think I am susceptible to the injury Rob. Had lots of physio in my football days and it eventually put paid to things. Thats was when I did bursts of sprinting tho'.

This was at slow pace so might be worth another visit

in reply to runner56

Defo worth a visit , have to say mine was very good and very supportive .

If there is an underlying problem they will find it and be able to advise best course of action :)

Oh bad news R56. The old IC claims yet another victim! :(

Is it possible for you to see a physio. I've found with my injuries, that recovery definitely speeds up with treatment. In the meantime, I'm sure IrishPrincess will be glad of the company on the IC. Hope you're feeling better soon :)

Seems the couch is getting a little crowded AM. Might need some treatment before I get going again

Didn't realise you were still suffering, Toonie. Such bad luck! Hope you're on the mend very soon. :)

Sorry you're on the IC, r56. It might be worth seeing someone about it, though, if it keeps recurring. I hope you can get back out there soon.

Meanwhile, may I join you on the IC? My back has gone again :( - too much walking in the wrong shoes.
