Hey Guys,
I injured myself years ago when training and ended up with Compartment Syndrome (Sounds like i have a mental disability i know!!!) which basically causes my calves to lock up and a lot of pain in the lower legs, it leads to sore back and all sorts of crap... Its not the worst thing but its sure as hell annoying and slows me down.
Basically i gained around 35kgs in the 3-4 years since i worked out from no exercise, poor eating and a LOT of drinking... So time to fix!
The reason for the post is that i am now losing weight and have entered a weight loss comp at the local gym just for some motivation and am doing pretty well, i am now around 8kg lighter thanks to banning the booze, working out and started eating better etc.... I'm keen to keep at it BUT my calves are making it hard to do a lot of the cardio things and i've been working around it the best i can....
What are others doing to recover/fix?
What exercises are best without injury?
What stretches are others doing?
I assume there are others out there with this as i was told its not uncommon, so wondering if i am alone on SAU with this? Or if there are others out there with the same crap?
I had all the pressure tests, ultrasounds, xrays etc etc and all showed that surgery was an option but the success rate wasnt real flash, i was told stretching and physio but it only seems to do so much...
Anyway, just bored and thought i'd randomly post this up
