Guest guest Posted April 28, 2000 Report Share Posted April 28, 2000 Sue-Ellen, You poor thing, do you feel neglected and ignored? Sometimes I feel like that too when I ask a question (rare here) or make a comment on something (less rare). But, that's better than getting picked on because of your comments, huh, Rita? Anyway, Sue-ellen, when I went to Physical Therapy., they gave me ham string stretches, and calf & achilles tendon stretches. Put your hands flat up agains the wall, feet out about 10-12 inches, then put one foot back even further, about another 10-12 " , and stretch, then bend that leg at the knee a little, and you will feel the achilles stretch. Feels Sooooooooooogood, I think. To stretch the ham strings, sit on the floor, spread your legs, and try touch the toes, HA HA, I get just past my knees. Then, the 2nd joke is trying to get up off the floor after I have done that stretch. That process usually gets me a kink in my back, or charley-horse in my thigh. I really don't know what is the lesser of the evils. Now here I go getting wordy, but try it, Sue-Ellen, you may like those exercises. They ahve helped my cramps at night.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2000 Report Share Posted April 28, 2000 Reminds me of a joke... If God had meant us to touch our toes he would have put them on our knees.
