bad day (not anymore)/heelcords

[Guest guest]

Hey ,

Heel cords, I guess I brought that term to ya. It is the tendon that

runs down the back of your lower leg and goes under your heel in the

back. If they are 'tight' umm, Example - when you wake up and get out of

bed and stand up do you feel a pulling sensation in the back of your

lower leg, heel area. That means they are a bit tight. In more severe

case, one can be a 'toe walker,' which is exactly what it sounds like.

That 'cord' or tendon is so tight that your feet don't lay flat on the

ground when you stand and you walk on your toes. For 'ME,' in the

morning I have to gently move my foot from laying straight out and pull

it up so it is at 90 degrees to my leg. I just use a long towel or, if

my cat hasn't hidden it, this long rubber band that the physical

therapist gave me and I gently pull my feet up towards me about ten

times on each foot to help stretch the tendon before I try and stand.

But if you have any symptoms, you should see A PHYSICAL THERAPIST they

will tell you if you have tight heel cords and if you need to do this or

other 'excercises.'

Hope you have a great day - I knew you were a 'STRONG GIRL' - that's the

name of my Film Production company - Strong Girl Productions, so just a

little joke

talk soon

Peace & Love

Hey everyone,

I hope your all doing good....I just wanted to say thanks for everyone

who responded to my 'bad day' email....It just gets tough sometimes but

you all reminded me to reach for my dreams and to aim for the stars in

'MY' sky and that we are all different in this world.

Now, I also have a question-What are heel cords? Where are they in your

feet? What do they do? What's normal, what's not?

Just wondering! Thanks
