Really, don't wait to get medical opinions

[SteelWeaver]

I've had a nagging pain in my left hip for 5 months now, since my last contest, as well as rather excruciating pain in my heels. I waited and waited and waited for them to go away, never did, finally went to the doctor last week. Turns out I have bursitis, maybe tendonitis in the hip, and plantar fasciitis in the heels - both from overuse - probably all the pre-comp walking and post-comp hiking. A simple course of anti-inflammatories, lots of icing, and voila, 2 days later I'm almost pain-free for the first time in months.

tut tut.

Get thee to thine medical professional!

Good advice -- you mean the nagging pain in my knees especially when I kneel on one of them could be nothing??!!!

Thanks for the kick in the pants.
