Re: Zumba, chest, swimming, x-ray results

[Guest guest]

Got the x-ray results on my foot. Not broken! Yay! I guess I might have a "ganglion", whatever that is. I need to look it up.

Thank goodness its not broken. What will they do about the "ganglion"?

Funny about the swimming competition lol.

I get ganglion cysts in my wrist and hands. The cysts (on the tendon sheath)

often just come and go, but sometimes they need to be taken off. I was told that

with 98% of the people, the cyst stays away after removal, but I must be in the

remaining 2%. I had the same one taken off twice, and popped spontaneously once.

I sleep with wrist braces to keep from aggravating them. They can pop under

stress, as I found out the hard way (sucking-wind-and-dancing-on-the-ceiling

painful!!)

Doctors don't consider them very important, but when you have one, especially if

it is pressing on neighboring nerves, it HURTS. It's just not life-threatening

or as interesting as a brain leak.;-)

When I was pregnant, the hormones caused the cyst in my left wrist to grow

rapidly, and it was pressing on nerves. They wouldn't so anything because of the

baby. By the time I gave birth and waited 6-weeks for recovery before another

surgery, I could not use my left hand at all. Try changing a diaper one-handed!

, the doc said if it doesn't heal up that he would refer me on to an orthopedist.  We'll see what happens!   It's a little better, but still swollen / protruding.

Wow! You run into the oddest people!! :)I'm glad your foot isn't broken, I think that is a type of cyst - I don't know if it goes away on its own or not. Did they tell you? I think it is fairly common -

Great job on the swimming!!!

Donna, the doctor didn't tell me hardly anything (I'm on Kaiser...) but I don't think it's a cyst because I distinctly injured it while running... unless the injury turned into a cyst?  I dunno.  If it doesn't get better I'll see the orthopedist. 

And yes, strangeness can be found at ANY gym, at least in Portland!  There were odd ducks at 24 Hour Fitness too.  Hugs

Yes, to an orthopedist, he said.  It's not " that bad " right now, I just can't run or jump up and down on it for the time being.   If it doesn't heal I'll pursue this.  ANGELICA thinking good thoughts for YOU!!!  You are in my prayers.

I met up with Fatal Attraction who went to do the eliptical while I did chest, same machines and weights as last time. I went first to the steam room to get warm, and now I'm at the point where I could probably fall asleep in there and be just fine, though I can still only stand about 5 minutes in the sauna before I feel like I'm suffocating. 

Anyway, this man came in and started making loud exhalation noises, and then a loud belch.  I mean really, was that necessary? Next he started singing in a foreign language.  I could feel my stress level start to rise, but then he got up and left.  As he did so, however, this older man  came in and a minute later I tell ya by the noises he was making it sounded like he was jacking off.  I finally gathered up the courage to look over and he was doing fast leg raises on one leg. Whew!  But, eeeeewww!   It wasn't pretty.   The sign on the door specifically says no exercising or shaving in the steam room.  Gheesh!  

Lastly, I went swimming and something ufun happened.  I was doing one lap of breast stroke then one lap of crawl stroke when this woman got in the fast lane next to me.  After she was in there for awhile the varsity swimmer in me awoke from her slumber.  Normallly I am NOT a competitve person, but when I went to push off on the wall I saw she was ahead of me and by God, I was going to beat her to the end.  I kicked and crawl stroked with all my might and finesse and made it to the end before here.  It was fun having someone to push me like that!  That's what I would often do during swim practice. 

I love swimming laps.  You would think it would be boring but it is so meditative, hearing the bubbles come out through your nose under the water, the sensual feeling of water all around you, supporting you, ruminating and attending to wandering thoughts.  I love it. 

Got the x-ray results on my foot.  Not broken!  Yay!  I guess I might have a " ganglion " , whatever that is.  I need to look it up.Off to bed!

That's good. When I had my foot/ankle problems, the best thing I did was to back away from impact and focus on barefoot style workouts. This gave me immediate feedback and helped me to know when to modify. But you know all that stuff!

And, thanks! I was able to stand long enough for a shower this morning. OMG, BEST SHOWER EVER!!!! I'm sure my family is glad too.

Yes, to an orthopedist, he said.  It's not " that bad " right now, I just can't run or jump up and down on it for the time being.   If it doesn't heal I'll pursue this.  ANGELICA thinking good thoughts for YOU!!!  You are in my prayers. 

Hugs

 

Can they give you a referral to PT or podiatry?

Donna, the doctor didn't tell me hardly anything (I'm on Kaiser...) but I don't think it's a cyst because I distinctly injured it while running... unless the injury turned into a cyst?  I dunno.  If it doesn't get better I'll see the orthopedist. 

And yes, strangeness can be found at ANY gym, at least in Portland!  There were odd ducks at 24 Hour Fitness too.  HugsOn Thu, Oct 27, 2011 at 8:21 AM, Donna M-P  wrote:

Ditto me on lap swimming. I was also a competitive swimmer (esp. freestyle, backstroke & butterfly) and I know exactly what you're both talking about regarding it being meditative. No pool access these days but I swam at least a half mile every morning at 7:30 when I was in college. It was just part of my routine and felt great. In those days, 1/2 mile at a pretty moderate pace took me about 1/2 hour. I could have gone longer but I would usually start to get bored after that point. Before it though, I would just zone and enjoy!

No tips about the foot from here, I just hope it gets better fast!

Re: Zumba, chest, swimming, x-ray results

, I love swimming laps too. I am a slow swimmer, and I love the breast stroke. I find it completely meditative. Your sauna story cracked me up. EWWW!

I'm so glad you don't have a broken bone! Soft tissue stuff is tricky, though. Sometimes you still need to back down for a while. Hope it heals up nicely!

Yay on no break! Ganglion cysts benign but can be painful depending on where it is it can be wacked to bust it (honestly, I know people that have done this) or it should be able to be drained with a needle, the relief after should be close to immediate and you should be able to run your race(s).

As for that steam room and/or sauna, yikes, it might best be avoided hahaha.Vennitta

Here you go

Ganglion Cyst Overview

A ganglion cyst is a tumor or swelling on top of a joint or the covering of a tendon(tissue that connects muscle to bone). It looks like a sac of liquid (cyst). Inside the cyst is a thick, sticky, clear, colorless, jellylike material. Depending on the size,cysts may feel firm or spongy.

One large cyst or many smaller ones may develop. Multiple small cysts can give the appearance of more than one cyst, but a common stalk within the deeper tissue usually connects them. This type of cyst is not harmful and accounts for about half of all soft tissue tumors of the hand.

Ganglion cysts, also known as Bible cysts, are more common in women, and 70% occur in people between 20-40 years of age. Rarely, ganglion cysts can occur in children younger than 10 years of age.

Ganglion cysts most commonly occur on the back of the hand (60%-70%), at the wrist joint, and can also develop on the palm side of the wrist. When found on the back of the wrist, they become more prominent when the wrist is flexed forward. Other sites, although less common, include these:

The base of the fingers on the palm, where they appear as small pea-sized bumps

The fingertip, just below the cuticle, where they are called mucous cysts

The outside of the knee and ankle

The top of the footVennitta

Mine I think is more like this one:http://www.medicinenet.com/ganglion/article.htmIf it doesn't go away I'm gonna have it sucked out through a syringe as you mentioned earlier   makes the most sense to me!

It is feeling a tad better - maybe it will go away on it's own at some point?Thanks for article, Vennitta! Can't wait to hear even more about Xtrains!
