We run a program here with the local council where every Saturday at midday for 6 weeks we take kids from very very disadvantaged parts of the locality and just coach a soccer session for a fn hour, we brihg up a few from our club also and the idea is they mingle and make friends.
Now itās tough going at times, I had them doing 1v1s this morning and a fella threw an elbow, other kid ran home to get his brotherā¦fella who threw elbow, 11 now was calling him an āinnocent childā and " he ll finish his brother off later"ā¦anyway you get itā¦
part of the warmupā¦doing sprints,out to edge of on backā¦me like an eejit,not warmed mad to get involved tears into a full sprintā¦on the turnā¦my left calfā¦now no pop but a feeling of a big pull or like it being seriously strainedā¦
OKā¦that was me doneā¦im waking by carrying it, cannot runā¦walking down stairs not goodā¦no pain sitting took NSAID and had a shower
should I deep heat this?
will I stretch it.
I can raise leg and pull toes back okā¦but walking is a disaster,
do I need surgery.? or will I just massage it with deep heat and tough it out?
thanks fenway much appreciated
I get very carried away when Iām coaching and wanted to literally race two young ladsā¦I have to avoid these situations coaching where Iām bringing 100% of myself to itā¦OK I should have been warm but maybe its a lesson
Struggling with what I think is sciatica the past 10 days or so. Doesnāt hugely affect me walking around but really seizes up if Iām sitting down for a while or sleeping.
Never really had something like this before, assuming/hoping itāll just sort itself out.
I had it and the constant pain made me nauseous, if you have a free MRI with your health insurance it would be no harm to see where the injured disk is
I donāt have any major pain.
Just feel it if I get up quickly or put major pressure through my heel. Outside of that my hip muscles are really tight, like they have seized up to protect the nerve.
A nice way to relieve pain if it does come on is to massage your Achilles and surrounding area, really relieves sciatica.
It usually stems from lower back obviously but it could be a number of things pulling on your back like glute issues.
Do some stretching of the whole lower body, from calves to hips but especially hammyā¦ Thereās tonnes of sciatic specific on the Tube. Maybe have a prod around glutes/hips/lower back with a foam roller ā¦ But my guess is youāve a minor disc issue going on with a glute or hammy issue.
I might have aggrevated something running thd half marathon two weeks ago. Although the issues didnāt start until the following Wednesday so possibly unrelated. Went for a run Thursday and it was fine while running.
