Is 2021 the year head injury gets true recognition ?

Wk 9 run 1 disaster
Went for first run of week 9 on Monday. Was going OK although one of my calfs felt tight. After 15 minutes running I experienced a sharp pain in the calf and 'felt a popping sensation. Stopped running immediately and as I was close to home walked/ hobbled back to the house. I iced it and kept it elevated

Pain threshold?
Am I being a wimp & just need to man up? I really don’t know how I’m meant to feel or if the level of aches & pain I’m experiencing is ‘normal’ or as expected - can anyone tell me how they feel and deal with this ? I’m struggling in the mornings with stiff legs, lower back pain getting out of bed. Then

Post head injury pain relief
My GP suggested some pain patches, first off he suggested some Buprenorphine patches which when you look at the frequent side effects are which are significant especially for people with

. I declined these.

Agonising Calf Pain
I’ve just finished Week 3 Run 3. Slightly dreading week 4 due to the pain I am experiencing in my inner calves. It started about week 2 run 2 and is like an agonising burning sensation. It causes me to woddle home and it’s very uncomfortable. As soon as I get home, I get in a hot bath and use deep heat

That's the midway bell that chimed on W5R2 which is also the midway point of this whole mucky, sordid affair. In terms of runs anyway, 13.5 runs into a 27 run programme. The midway point for the [i]running[/i] doesn't land until about 15 paces into W7R1. I know what you're thinking, what kind of anal

Algesal Cream
I have found something that helps. When my legs start getting painful, it always starts in a different place, arch of my foot, back of my knee, thigh, calf, really random. As soon as I feel it, I rub my leg to see where it's painful and massage it with this cream. It seems to work! It also works

Ointments such as Deep Heat for sore muscles
All, I've got a calf strain and was going to get an ointment such as Deep Heat or similar brand. However, as they contain Ibuprofen it says on the packet that you should consult your GP if you take Warfarin (which I do). I know Ibuprofen has blood thinning properties but I wondered if anyone who is on
