Age And Muscle Pain

Discussion in 'Trackdays & Rider Skills' started by Expat Jack, May 14, 2021.

  1. I'm quite strict with my daily stretching or it just buggers me up! I used to do Hot Yoga that helped massively. Now I have my own home routine dance programme to watch I feel so much better.... Try it

  2. Just to clarify is this clip for entertainment or education, I’ve watched it 5 times so far and can’t decide.:thinkingface::)

  3. I am immune to videos such as this as my eldest daughter is a professionally trained dancer so I’ve seen it all before.o_O
     
  4. As is my Daughter, however I’m not ever immune to such things and as with anything I never believe I’ve seen it all there are always surprises. :D

  5. Started swimming 5 times a week, 30 minutes sessions and have to say, it’s a great exercise for injury prone old bodies:cool:

  9. Fibre in your diet (not likely) or stool softener. Piles are just evulsed or swollen veins outside your anus or just inside the sphincter caused usually (not always) by bearing down hard to push out a relatively small, dry, hard stool. The contraction of the muscles in straining causes blood supply to increase to the area causing the expansion of veins which may become trapped outside the anus or swollen within.

    The tissue may split causing bleeding and afterward the attempt of the body to heal the split causes severe itching which is not easily accessible for a good scratch and in any event will make matters worse. Application of a corticosteroid ointment (stronger than cream) which is combined with a mild local anaesthetic numbs the area and the steroid shrinks the vein and can resolve your bottom grapes if you also soften your stool and increase intake of water.

    What you want to avoid and what I have had surgery twice for is an anal fissure. As the term implies this is a split in the ring of your freckle that ointment only assists with symptoms but not the problem. Spraying your toilet bowl red with blood is alarming apart from anything else. Surgery involves an incision in the muscle surrounding your freckle which relieves any need for straining. It is a temporary hole expansion with dissolvable internal stitching.

    It is unsetlling one or two days post surgery to wake to very sore hamstrings - the realisation dawns on you that during the Op that nice surgeon and nurse had your ankles locked behind your neck so they had clear access (and perhaps took some happy snaps) to their area of interest.

    This can make the Post-op consultation with the surgeon a week or two later a little awkward - unless of course you are into anal bleaching and and quite happy to expose your freckle to strangers in any event.

    I hope the benefit of my accumulated experience with freckle issues as articulated here is of widespead (!) interest to DF members as a community service. :)

  10. :scream:
     
  11. I can top that @Brouny851 but not on these pages. :) After over 40 years of associated problems I'm finally comfortable now thanks to a brave surgeon who took a bit of a gamble looking back.

  13. Your words, "Relatively small,hard stool" would be the perfect description for my surrounding neighbours.

  14. Old men. It’s what happens. Apparently.

    Never had an issue until last Friday. Shit me, it’s uncomfortable! Turn 40, go racing and get fit. Turn 50, and get every fricken ailment known to man!

  16. Getting away from freckling and Uranus, there's a simple exercise I do twice a day, and only takes two minutes. I started it years ago when I was going skiing after a 9 year break, to strengthen my thighs, and it worked.
    When brushing your teeth, squat down, bending your knees until you find a position that feels uncomfortable. Hold that position for the duration of your brushing. If you use an electric toothbrush the programme lasts two minutes, which I find is the ideal time. I no longer ski as I find it too expensive and get a much better bang for my buck by motorcycling.
    I'm 74 and get age related aches, but by curling my legs to my chest and holding for several seconds, then laying back on my bed and stretching out as far as possible every morning, combined with the tooth brushing routine, those aches are kept to a minimum.

  20. The more exercise you can get the better, stretching classes at the gym, walking ( fast ) and I do miles and miles and hour after hour on the pushy.
    If you can ride one of these for 6 hrs a day ANY motorbike is comfortable..
    Seen here whilst visiting my daughter in Australia..

    I’m 64 now, this picture was taken when I was only 62 :joy: !

    I’ve been biking on and off all my life, it’s a great way of keeping fit and I burn so many calories that I can eat what the hell I like and never put any weight on.
    We did the coast to coast in the UK in 2018, Morcambe to Marske , 111 miles and we did it in 7hrs 11 minutes
    Relive video of route / altitude if anyone can be arsed to watch it

    I jumped on one of those bodyscanners at the gym that spits all your stats out- BMI 24, body fat 14% and Metabolic age....49 FFS ..I’ll take that any day!!

    I honestly think that you get used to putting yourself through the mangle on the bike, you could be miles away from home, it starts chucking down, you feel like shit and it’s normally bloody freezing, but you just have to dig in, mentally zone the pain out and get on with it, anything after that is by comparison a piece a piss.
    If you want to get fit, or keep your fitness for as long as possible, get on a bike, in my case it has pulled me back from the brink after severe health problems and a really bad motorbike accident all in the same year, I owe the pedal bike everything I am now.
    Don’t put it off, now the good weathers here get started on a bike as soon as you can :upyeah:
