I have learnt over the years to cross-train, that is to not let your body get used to the same repetitive exercises. My next lesson learnt was to seek the advise and expertise of a physio as soon as I realised that 2 days rest wouldn't fix me. I have since used a fabulous <a href="http://www.physioworld.net" rel="nofollow">physio in Loughborough</a> and she now knows me well, my ailments, body, length of rehab etc. My advise for any aspiring athletes is to get a good physio on board, even if it's just for telephone advise once every few months. Good luck to you all.

Many thanks for your comment. Really so...Hi Ellen,<br /><br />Many thanks for your comment. Really sorry to hear your problem. <br /><br />What I can tell you is that I used this injury as a learning experience. I've never had this problem before. My ankle just healed well each time. <br /><br />This time for the last year and a half it has never been quite right. That said I still managed to play tennis almost every work day, and I play pretty intensely, without making it worse. So you can carry on with your life. <br /><br />It's also finally pretty much healed. I barely notice it now. It's become very strong. <br /><br />What I did to fix it was listen to my body. I found that the ankle structure wasn't as flexible or as coordinated as before. <br /><br />So I've been improving my single leg balance by doing things like getting dressed while standing on one leg. It was really hard to balance at first. I didn't realise how weak my ankles were. But now I find it much easier. As I did this my ankle started to improve. <br /><br />More recently I've been stretching my calf muscles with a standard calf stretch and a soleus stretch. I can explain what they are if you like. <br /><br />I've also been doing some yoga like mobility exercises to improve balance and coordination. <br /><br />What I avoided until recently was moving my ankle to the full range of its abilities when it wasn't warmed up properly. <br /><br />There is more detail I can go into but I've probably shared enough so far. I would recommend going to a physio. I just couldn't afford one. <br /><br />I'm also certain I had some scar tissue between the bones of the ankle joint. This was impinging the joint and leading to some of the swelling and pain. Through movements in tennis I feel I got rid of this scar tissue. Once that happened it healed properly. This is info I got from a sports physiotherapist for an old sprain. I've always kept it in mind and think it was the case here.<br /><br />Good luck Ellen. Hope you sort it out. You will be able to work and complete your shifts. Getting back to your life is important for recovery. You just need specialist advice on how to build recovery into your day and how to judge your limits.Colinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06133299365107179557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5120680382774582519.post-52129472720697394822012-02-29T14:36:32.792+00:002012-02-29T14:36:32.792+00:00Hi, I came across your blog while researching ankl...Hi, I came across your blog while researching ankle sprains, and found it very interesting. I sprained my ankle two weeks ago while walking on an uneven pavement! It was starting to feel better and I was planning on going back to work tomorrow. So after gradually building up the execises and walking distances, I decided to go for a longer walk yesterday, both as a test and in preparation for work. I walked for about 30 minutes,rested for 20 minutes, then walked for 30 minutes more. There was some slight discomfort, but it eased as I continued walking. But,unfortunately in the evening it became swollen again and I am back to only partial weight bearing. After reading your experience, I am now dreading how long it will be before I get back to work. Especially as I am a nurse and work 12 hour shifts! I think I'm going to have to organise myself some physio!<br />EllenEllennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5120680382774582519.post-48945420443554565512011-12-01T18:02:20.620+00:002011-12-01T18:02:20.620+00:00I just want to say thanks for the given link as it...I just want to say thanks for the given link as it helped me a lot in my research study.Disease Mutationshttp://www.biobase-international.com/product/human-gene-mutation-databasenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5120680382774582519.post-14526765404040109862011-10-25T00:37:48.165+01:002011-10-25T00:37:48.165+01:00In my oppinions, I think the overlook on capitalis...In my oppinions, I think the overlook on capitalism tend destroy the infant businesses which consequently affect the economy in which capitalism is less regulated.<br /><br />You may see my blog at http://prince-innovative.blogspot.com<br /><br />Your comments are also welcomePrince Aboagyehttp://prince-innovative.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5120680382774582519.post-51284999341767033712011-06-30T22:30:02.919+01:002011-06-30T22:30:02.919+01:00I agree that the ability to adapt in a agile and t...I agree that the ability to adapt in a agile and timely way is the key to survival and success. <br /><br />I agree that Capitalism is a fair approximation of this concept in its pure or regulated form.

I was always taught that they were but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesterol implies it's not. LDLs and HDL carry cholesterol instead. <br /><br />Since cholesterol is involved in healing the body, for example it's a part of every cell wall. I also wonder whether its link to heart disease reflects its attempt to fix blood vessels. Much like saying ambulances are the cause of accidents because they're always found later on at the scene.Colinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06133299365107179557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5120680382774582519.post-46031857536474394042011-06-22T13:53:10.128+01:002011-06-22T13:53:10.128+01:00I always told that there are two types of choleste...I always told that there are two types of cholesterol, LDL (bad) and HDL (good). It is said that LDL is linked to the various heart diseases and the HDL helps to remove excess cholesterol from circulation. To me they both have a purpose, and the LDL is only "bad" when they are at a high level. Could the HDL have more benefits than just removing excess LDL?Anthony H.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5120680382774582519.post-66772656942062118662010-11-18T08:08:51.683+00:002010-11-18T08:08:51.683+00:00Isn't it.

Thanks Anthony for your great points...First of all. Thanks Anthony for your great points. the point of my article was to discuss evolution and see whether it can be applied to things other than nature. <br /><br />You make some good points. In a world where we seem so risk averse, how can you argue that evolution is happening. <br /><br />My main answer is that evolution has and always will take a long time. it's taken well over a billion years for humans to evolve. So judging financial evolution from just 20 or 100 years maybe too short a time frame. If you consider 10,000 years of human trade. I think you'll agree that there's been a lot of evolution and we're constantly moving forward. The pace is accelerating. <br /><br />The law and welfare state is similar. It was totally different just 1000 years ago. <br /><br />In terms of our preference for security I'd argue this is no different in any social species. gazelles are not known to attack the jackals that hunt them. They don't gang up on the jackals and kick them off their land. Instead they just run out of fear. They follow the herd where ever it goes. Mainly because it's safer to stay in the herd and they're scared of the their attackers. That's all I see happening around us. <br /><br />However we are all competing as separate nation states. As different generations. Our social structures make us all different. These differences create competition. The competition for resources, power and whatever else we want is creating evolution. It's pushing our relentless push for change. <br /><br />So maybe the same banks will be in existence in 20 years time. But will you be doing business with them in the same way. Will you still have the same relationship with them. Will you even bank in this country? That we can't predict. If evolution weren't happening then surely we'd be able to predict it accurately. <br /><br />Thanks for your comments Anthony. it was nice to be able to consider the concept of evolution in the contexts you put forward.Colinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06133299365107179557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5120680382774582519.post-37688247230792584662010-02-13T16:25:25.273+00:002010-02-13T16:25:25.273+00:00This is interesting, passionate and very eloquentl...This is interesting, passionate and very eloquently argued. It left me thinking 'yes but...'.<br /><br />I am not convinced totally that human affairs, in modern times, can be seen as a pure expression of Darwinism. <br /><br />I look at the bank bail out as a very good example of the way that vested interests maintain there position of wealth and power with a few visible, but low impact sacrifices. If we had followed Darwinist principles we'd have allowed these institutions to crash and burn, taken the pain and seen a stronger model emerge.<br /><br />Instead we opted for other strategies. We did not trust those principles. Time we will tell if we have made the same mistake on this occasion that we made with some heavy industries 40 years ago.<br /><br />In so many ways modern human society has built moral and practical constructs to keep the extremes of Darwinism in check and maintain the stability and order. <br /><br />The law and the welfare system protects me from violence, protects my property, my health and my resources. Our moral codes frequently favour the vulnerable, the disabled, the young and the old. It reduces the possibility that I will fall victim to any extremes of natural selection. At the same time, the wealthier I become, the more I am required to contribute to my society.<br /><br />If we really accepted Darwinism, surely we would pull down a lot of these constructs to allow the powerful benefits and violence of natural selection. <br /><br />In truth we crave a sense of security that pure natural selection doesn't bring and we instinctively gravitate towards some moral order. More than this, it works in terms of human development. The countries of the 20th century that have struck the balance of order, regulated economic competition, welfare and democracy have been the wealthiest and the best able to provide for their people.anthonyforthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15311667181576814867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5120680382774582519.post-31160106100750804242009-11-23T16:00:27.941+00:002009-11-23T16:00:27.941+00:00Wouldn't list under 'simple', but it i...Wouldn't list under 'simple', but it is possible to stream stuff to your Wii console from your PC and thus to your TV (as well as watching iPlayer, etc).<br /><br />My experience of watching football and iPlayer makes me feel I can't be bothered.

It strikes me that as we listen to services like last.fm and Spotify more we may start to buy less music. Currently having your own music in a car means having to use a CD or downloaded track, but what if someone invented a car stereo with built in 3G? If you could make use of the car's shell as a big antenna you might get pretty decent reception. I tried a related idea out when I was <a href="http://www.greenhughes.com/content/road-testing-3039s-new-mifi" rel="nofollow">trialling 3's MiFi unit</a> and the results were better than I expected, but I sure a combination of caching and better reception would have made the idea workable.Liam Green-Hugheshttp://www.greenhughes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5120680382774582519.post-65924060144961143812009-11-05T15:19:14.682+00:002009-11-05T15:19:14.682+00:00Nice on Andrew. that's really helpful.
