Re: morning pain and stiffness

Jen,

I don't have this, ever. Maybe because of my daytime exercise program.

Jen,

Oh yeah, I have lots of stiffness and pain in the mornings, especially if it is

cold, or if I have overdone it the day before. This is in my feet and ankles,

and over the last few years, it has also been in my hips when I get up after

sitting for a while.

The caveat, however, is that the foot/ankle stuff has been going on for the last

20 years, and especially in my right ankle. I had the triple arthrodesis,

tendon lengthening and toe straightening surgeries in both feet back then, and

my right foot/ankle are stiffer and more painful than my left.

The Orthopedic Dr. who did the surgeries had no reason why this would be. I

even wondered if it was because they did my left foot surgery in the summer and

the right one in the fall. Of course, I have no real reason to think that would

make a difference, but my mind does like to have neat answers. LOL

I think the thing with my hips is due to a combination of being overweight and

not stretching out my muscles often enough.

of Ibprofen if it's too bad.

Hi,

I have some stiffness when I wake up in the mornings. After I'm up

and about for a little while, I stop walking around like a

penguin... )
