Jen my orthopod has said the same thing. I have a ankle that refuses to heal properly as I keep turning it every few weeks. Worn miniscus, list goes on. I ice them and use rubs, and braces when I run. You 'll have plenty of time to rest your aches and pains when your taking the long sleep. you can slow your pace cut miles, BUT you will always go back to running. I love this drug. ________________________________ From: Jen Harvey <caverrn@xxxxxxxxx> To: mountainmilers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sat, February 5, 2011 1:33:01 PM Subject: [mountainmilers] Injury question Hello, Was wondering if anyone had recommendations of care providers for joint problems in runners. My regular doc's advise is "well, don't run", and I want to seek someone who understands why we put up with aches and pains to be runnin' down a road! Thanks, Jen
