Knee/leg/back problems ??

HooD · Post by **HooD** » 21 Mar 2003 15:15

Just wondering how many people have physical problems shredding.

How about an "All of the above" selection?

NotHisRealName · Post by **NotHisRealName** » 21 Mar 2003 16:58

Yeah, I'm down for a few of the above.
Recovering from sprained ankle, shin splints, bad knees, hip joint poped out, thigh muscle strain, back's sore, too.

wouldn't have it any other way.

Ok, so maybe I would love to have none of the above, but if it ment no footbag... Fuck that.

i had shin splints a little. some knee pains. they all go away eventually. right now im suffering from soreness pains. but that goes away in less than a day.

I get sore in the back/hip area sometimes, so I just lighten the footbagging for a day or so until it goes away.

yeah. mostly shins. hips sometimes. but mostly after a session. from like flip whirls. (esp ps) ive never ever had knee pain. i assume its cause i dont do double dexes. like. i mean. barfly, paradon, datw, etc.
is that what generally causes knee pain? is it bad? should i not skool paradons? hehe.

Hip joint popped out?? That's freaky. My tutor at uni was talking about how the more stable a joint is, the less mobile it is and was making a comparison between the shoulder and hip joints. He said people used to dislocate their hips when their cars smashed and they weren't wearing seat belts. Their knees would hit the dashboard, the force would trave up their thighs and the femur would break through the socket and that was supposedly the type of force required to dislocate it. Guess not

. Anyway, that's my babble.

Had shin splints and every now and then a sore knee.

i get this weird hip pain from flip ps whirls. cause i dont bend my dexing leg or something. so instead of cushioning the impact with my knees it goes straight to my hip. is that bad? sometimes i can do lots of flip whirls. but mostly im too scared to try cause it hurts.

I've had shin splints, those are in the past now, some hip pains, not bad though. My left knee has some problems, possibly not tracking right. not from shredding though, but it makes everything about 3 times as hard as it should be.

Pain free unless:

Nuclear work KILLS my hip, but just for like an hour, then its fine.

Hours of hard shred with a lot of stepping and symposium can bring on shin splints, (hehe, had them yesterday) but they go away til the next hard shred in a day. I currently use the regular insoles though, can't find the spencos yet, that could eliminate them altogether.

Muffinman · Post by **Muffinman** » 24 Mar 2003 21:32

i ordered the spencos on the internet. i dont know if they helped at all. my shins were killing me up until a couple sessions back. maybe there is no help. i think i just pound too hard on the ground.

HooD · Post by **HooD** » 25 Mar 2003 15:12

Good insoles, stretch your calves and shins, excercise them. Don't work them too hard, but i'm pretty sure you're not gonna stop that, lol. Good excercise for them is standing on a ledge of somesort or step, hanging your heels down and then raise your heels up by standing on your toes. Not playing on cement all the time helps, cement takes bearily any shock so it goes through your feet to you back.

In general, grade I pain refers to muscle soreness and minor soft-tissue inflammation.
Grade II pain is viewed as a mild or moderate soft tissue inflammation.
Grade III pain invlovles significant soft tissue inflammation , and bone microfractures.
Grade IV pain defines an actual stress fracture.

Treatment generally consists of ice packs or ice massage, physician prescribed nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, rest, and gradual stretching and strengthening excercises for the entire lower leg.
The worse the pain, the less active involvement you should put into footbag. Also, if you have flat feet, the pain will more than likely be more in the inside part of your shin. To help, you would need a good insole that would raise your arch up to take stress off the inside of your leg. Resting and toning down and lowering the amount of impact helps significantly, so take it easy when you can.

pinched nerve in the back don't think its from footbag though but it might have helped it so the weather is good but im scared to shred for don't want unberable pain again wating for things to settle it sucks.

It wasn't like a full dislocation, or anything. Just that I was trying atomic sets without warming up properly. Felt a pop in the hip as a result. I went to a chiropractor a few years back (before footbag) and was told my hip was already out... That and my back and neck. So I guess I just agrovated the hip or something. It's better now, though.

I've had minor hip pains if i go straight into atomic sets without warming up or stretching first, but no biggy. Just some odd pain.
