anybody else sore?

[26 Year Gap]

From the end of last season till the beginning of this season, I am carrying 25 less pounds. I might have to hoist a sack of those in the store just to see what I'm missing. That has a huge effect on the knees and ankles. Feeling better this season and Mr. Advil is still a good partner.

Drink a bunch of post-game wobbly pop. You'll be just as sore but you won't care as much.

The #1 thing most of us forget to do is stretch AFTER a game. It really makes a ton of difference. If I don't post game stretch my back tightens and I move like Mr Tudball's secretary Mrs Wiggins crossed with his "Old Man" imitation. (Carol Burnett reference) I had to rush out of a gym the other day and did have time to post game stretch. Nothing a Skelaxon, Ultram, moist heating pad and whirlpool couldn't cure!!

Also, drink plenty of water after the game. Another all too often missed point.

timely thread, I had an easy girls double header the other night soph/V and broke in my new air max leather 2009's........very cushy, yet rather than turn just my head running down as new lead in transition, I torgued my knee trying to get a look. Hurts like hell, thank heavens with blizzards here, I've been off for two days but it still aches. Same knee as torn meniscus scope in September, so I can't catch a break. With the best part of my schedule coming up in the next few weeks I'm getting hoping it settles down. Ice and Arnica so far..........

Water before and after the game.
I had a physical therapist who was treating me this fall for both back pain and a bad case of plantar fasciitis work up a series of pre game stretches specific for basketball and for what ails me.
Haven't had to take a bite of ref candy all season. Last year for basketball then softball, couldn't move without.
