Pain pain, go away. Never come back. Period. (I hope the lack of rhyming won’t reduce the effectivity.)

Wei-Wei–Ah, we’re not sticklers for rhyming here. As long as your chant works, I’m in the clear. (Sorry, had to.)

I am here for you Tracey! I started calling my body “the medical mystery” . I kind of hate when people offer suggestions to me…but do your doctors think there is any systematic correlation between all this? I KNOW that is what is going on with me, but doctors frustrate me SO much!

I am anti-PT…lol…all it has ever done is hurt me more!
I am going to try acupuncture soon, have you ever tried it?
Anyway, sorry for talking about myself. Just know I am here for support if you need it and stay strong!

The therapist makes you walk on nails? No wonder you’re hurting. Take care of dem toes, girl!

Oh man, I am with you on shin splints. It doesn’t seem to matter what I do but they are an inventible part of my life.

Oh no! I feel so bad for you. I did calf raises for a while to help strengthen my legs to ward off shin splints but found that just adding arch support to my shoes worked much better. Hope you feel better soon and that your body stops thwarting you!

Oh poor you! I am so sorry. It seems as though you have the hardest time with your feet and legs.

Thinking of you!
