The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[ShaunNecro]

Man, my left leg is all fucked up. I got a problem with my knee from being hit by a car back in 2007, and a few years ago I had a monster tumor pulled out of my foot, so now a good quarter of the bottom of my foot is all scar tissue.

[D.o.S.]

Assortment of relatively minor injuries here. Couple of broken things. Couple of surgically repaired things. Cost of taking a piece of wood at high speeds into manmade and natural objects for a long time.

Gotta get on the foam roller trip, doom room. Highly recommended.

Probs flipping through Tinder.

*knock on wood* I've never had any broken bones or never been hospitalized for anything. Although, I believe my mom said when I was an infant, I was really sick and brought to the emergency room or something.

Holy shit foam rollers are the best thing ever.

So I've shoved my new guitarist down the rabbit hole of pedals. His first purchase was a BAT Witchburner. He got it in time for practice tonight. Looking forward to hearing it.

Im developing a dadbod...was gonna start exercising then i tore some shit in my foot...planta facia or some shit...now it hurts to walk...i asked the doctor about a remedy, and his response was...there is none, it might take 6 months to heal...so my road to dadbod has been accelerated greatly

Partial plantar fascia tear? And he didn't put you in a walking boot? No recommendation at all?!

Conky: Those night splints aren't fun and don't work for everyone. I hear ya.

Once inflammation calms down, yeah, foam roller or tennis ball to the bottom of the foot will loosen things up. For now, freeze half full paper cups and use the ice cup to massage the bottom of your foot for about 5 minutes 2-3 times a day. Helps with pain and inflammation.

If your plantar fascia is inflamed, make sure you don't rub on it. Icing helps, but stretching your calves helps the most.

Thanks for the advice guys...i decided last night im gonna talk to a physio...the doctor was really shit about it. I felt i was living the Louie CK joke about going to the doctor when your over 40!

[pelliott]

Physical therapy will likely help. They can probably do some modalities to reduce inflammation and the strengthening exercises will move along recovery.

Do some hip and core strengthening in addition to any lower leg stuff they have you doing.

Calf stretches will help to some extent but isn't always the root of the problem.

[samzadgan]

thanks Pelliott...i am seriously out of shape (and my core is about as strong as a wet tissue), which is probably why this happened when i played basketball...i need to generally get fitter and stronger.

[ShaolinLambKiller]

amputate!

[samzadgan]

amputate!

we can rebuild it...we have the technology...we can make the worlds first bionic foot...better than it was before, stronger...faster!

only problem, with one foot faster than the other, i would just run in circles...

Scored this 5150 tonight for $100. The pots are scratchy as hell but it has brand new power tubes in it so thats almost worth what I paid for it anyway.
