Guest guest Posted May 26, 1999 Report Share Posted May 26, 1999 Jeanne & group, How true this is !! It is usually too late, simply because we are in such a hurry, when we discover we have exhausted ourselves and " The RLS Monster " has struck before we could defend ourselves. I will be leaving on the 11th of June to go on a mission tip to Arlington, Texas. I really want to do this, but please picture (as it is almost comical) me -- with RLS and very ADD riding in a van of teenagers for 2 days there and 2 days back. We are planning a 10 hour drive on Friday & a 7 hour drive on Saturday. I'll be doing a lot of praying on that long ride, but I'll also be " popping " the Xanax. Don't mean to use irreverent " drug humor " as there is nothing funny about " poping " pills, but I imagine you can all relate to what I'm saying.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 , I was right about 2 weeks when I charged up my street to the top of the hill and back. I felt so good I started putting more and more weight on it as I went. I felt ok when I got home, but that evening and the next day I was SORE. I too thought I might have fouled up my hip, in fact I got really upset about the whole deal. I was ticked because I was reading all the posts about people running marathons and carrying farm animals on their backs at 3 weeks, and I didn't want to be left behind. But after a few days my hip settled down and the fear went away. It takes time for the bone to not be sore, especially if they grind of cysts etc. And they did cut through the connective tissue of several muscles. When I over did it I called JRI and asked to speak with a Doctor. When he called back he told me that it would be very very unlikely that I had done anything to the device, and that rest should resolve the issue, and it did. I remember Steve in Colorado wrote that he had jumped on his exercise bike and made himself sore too, so I think we all do it at some point. And remember, we all heal differently. It takes 6 full weeks for your synovial capsule to reform. My guess is that you feel better already since you wrote your post just by resting.

I remember going through the same thing. Of course growing up in Manchester, I was one of those carrying that farm animal on my back at two weeks. I did E amil Lee about this and she said as long as your leg did not swell up any more that you were all right. I was sure I messed things up a few times but then the Europeans get right on it so I had to think of that to. Ice is the answer to it. I think everything is going to be all right for you. Lots of it is the mental part. Take Care. Kurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was going to the grocery store (just like ). All that turning, twisting, and standing was really bad. My advice is to wait about a week and a half before heading to Whole Foods again and you'll probably find it to be a much more pleasant experience.
