Better to visit physiotherapist, I too had a ankle sprain, though there was no pain after few months but I could feel something, I had to take physiotherapy for sometime and then it's good.Should I visit a physio or give this more time to heal?

I have observed that it takes roughly 3-4 months for a tendon or ligament injury to really heal (not the mild ones like sprains).
Doing physio during this period is entirely your call. In my experience all it does it pain relief, not faster healing.
Tell me about it. 3-4months on there is still light discomfort in my knee.I have observed that it takes roughly 3-4 months for a tendon or ligament injury to really heal (not the mild ones like sprains).

I visited an Ortho and he said it is nothing to worry about. He gave me some pain killers and muscle relaxant.

[DOUBLEPOST=1442710747][/DOUBLEPOST]Guys,
I hit a roadblock recently.
Was doing assisted pull ups and my left hand slipped due to which I strained my right shoulder. Even after 2 weeks of complete rest, I have not recovered. There is no muscular pain as such, but I feel slight discomfort while doing tasks which require strength of my right shoulder eg: picking up bucket full of water. The pain is not at a specific area but nearby the collar bone and shoulders. I have been using hot water bottle to massage the affected area since a week but there is no improvement.

^^ I can occasionally find flaxseed oil in big malls in Gurgaon. I could only get 1 bottle last year. Local stores do not keep it, even though they have plenty of so-called imported health-food. It turns rancid easily, so I cannot stock big quantities. Currently I am managing with small bottles of hemp and flaxseed powder. For a steady supply, I inquired couple of oil makers in north India and they said their oils aren't meant for consumption! maybe they keep aside edible oils for export. I'll check with south Indian suppliers.
From last month, I stopped taking any form of animal milk and its by-products. Looks like my body doesn't like them. And there's no alternative for me at the moment. None of the local Reliance and Easy-day stores carry non-animal based milk. I planning to switch to Soy or Almond milk. Because I am living with my family, I can eat eggs and chicken only on certain days
Moving to Bangalore looks like a good option I could easily get all kinds of nuts, seeds, oils and milks there. That was 6 years ago!
I used to eat all kinds of nuts, EFAs and other good fats. Whether the body can produce it or not, as long as it didn't have much of saturated fats, I'd would eat it (e.g. avocado, macadamia nuts, CLA, GLA, Omega9, evening primrose and whatnot!).
Comparing that lifestyle to now, I have only these regular sources of oil: extra virgin olive oil, almond oil and fish oil capsules.
Over training. Starting Strength Workout followed by 45mins cardio. I guess that sort of overworked the tendon. Was trying to move up too fast.How did it happen?
Lol... 2 sessions of HIIT a week post workout would have been good although Mark does not recommend it. 45 mins of cardio WILL definitely work against you. Long steady state cardio is degenerative. Sprints are superior + Do some burpees along with it if you can sustain it. Do this after SS, do nothing on rest days.Over training. Starting Strength Workout followed by 45mins cardio.

Do some body weight squats before your workout. 4/5 sets of 8-15.[DOUBLEPOST=1442756741][/DOUBLEPOST]I have decided to buy Davisco WPC 80 50 lbs bag 1 kg of Whey will then cost Rs. 950/960 a kgHey guys, I started doing cardio a while back to lose weight & be active. So I used to follow along with vids such as this & this & this. (viz. mainly aerobics with burpees, jumping jacks, power walking & the like). I used to do the routines barefoot on a hard floor at my home.
About 2-3 months ago, I started feeling some discomfort in my knee/s. (There weren't any such issues for the 10 or so months that I was exercising). The discomfort wasn't a sharp pain of any sort.... & it wasn't while exercising either. Rather it ranged from being a dull pain to a state where I'd feel the need to "crack" or "pop" the knee joint much like people crack their knuckles. & this would happen seemingly randomly when not exercising. So I decided to give my body a rest.
Now I feel I can get back to exercising. But could anyone advise about steps that I could take for injury prevention given the kind of exercise I do & the surface? So for instance, should I be wearing jogging shoes while working out? Or is there a mat of some sort that could help with the impact? Or.....
Any tips or advice is appreciated. Many thanks!
Mild fish burps which I don't mind at all. Infact I like that What real world differences you felt having Animal Omega? Please share. As per the label Animal Omega seems to have a bit of everything out there!@Rockfella thanks a lot for the detailed information!
i'll definitely try Carlson. please share how you liked it... aftertaste/fish-burps etc. i tried Nordic once and then moved to generic ON/Now, because of the price and availability. but the one that really made a difference was the Animal Omega by Ultimate Nutrition. i tried Animal line for quite a long time.
@kidrow looks you know what you need to do! you need some cushioning to avoid injuries to your knee and probably spine.
wear shoes whenever you exercise... to enhance balance and to support your feet. don't stomp when you do cardio. to avoid that, use incline on cardio machine. and if you like to run in the open then do so on the grass and not tarred road.
Animal Omega is a high dosage product... really helped when i used to lift quite heavy, against my lean frame. and because it has lots of fats, i never felt low on energy throughout the day. no sugar crash either, associated with usual protein shakes. my hair and skin got visibly smoother.What real world differences you felt having Animal Omega?

Yet I see so many people jogging on tar early morning. They need to visit this thread.@Rockfella thanks a lot for the detailed information!

Thanks! It's incorporated in one of the workouts as a warm-up, but I'll make it a point to do it every time. I also used to walk/run up & down a set of stairs every now & then to strengthen my leg muscles & hopefully avoid knee injuries. Is that also something I should continue doing?Do some body weight squats before your workout. 4/5 sets of 8-15
Thanks! For cushioning, besides shoes, is there anything else, like a mat for instance, that'll help? (If yes, then any particular type/specs to look out for?) I'll be continuing to work out indoors at home (without any equipment) on a hard floor. The most high impact moves vis-a-vis the knees I can think of would be butt-kickers, skipping rope, jogging on-the-spot, jumping jacks & similar.@kidrow looks you know what you need to do! you need some cushioning to avoid injuries to your knee and probably spine.

yes, a mat will help... something is better than nothing. i use non-slip yoga mat. ideally, it should be a hard rubber mat... it's the same stuff that the rubberized gym floors are made of. same stuff as children's playgrounds abroad are made of. i think i saw someone using that rubberized mat near his weights rack on this forum. maybe it was Rockfella... can't recall.For cushioning, besides shoes, is there anything else, like a mat for instance, that'll help?

Come on, there are (perhaps) better things in life to experience and appreciate than lifting weights!What measures should I take in such case? Is running the only option ?
I really don't want to sit and just gobble up calories.
Thanks a ton for that link!and research on net about how runners feet should land (footstrikes). maybe you use a slightly different landing technique which is causing the discomfort. correct landing technique + appropriate cushioning will help prevent shocks travelling through your knees, up to your spine. this is the first search result from google: http://www.barefootrunning.fas.harvard.edu/4BiomechanicsofFootStrike.html

On the other hand, I presume, you are not going to compete professionally in bodybuilding/powerlifting/weightlifting - so a brief hiatus won't affect.
