There's soreness. Then there's pain.
Whenever one exercise, the muscle gets sore.
When one injures a joint, or any other connection tissues around a joint, that's when one gets pain.
So no, I don't think pain is of any beneficial to achieve a healthy body.

I was thinking more of micro muscle tears rather than anything which might cause long term damage. However, I appreciate being pointed in the right direction and corrected as I am not a body builder (but I do average over 3 jogs/runs a week and experience occasional muscle issues which last a few days).
I would add muscle balance as a key issue which has been highlighted but not emphasised. If you sit down a lot, then you need to compensate every time you stand up by bending your body in the other direction (doing cobra pose for example).

You don't even need to go that far to create adaptation (increase muscle size and strength).

I am glad the science is catching up with my body. I started core body strenthening last year, but stopped after 5 sessions because my shoulder muscle got really sore (I think I was using too heavy dumbells; I thought they were very lightweight especially compared to what I used to lift, but my muscles are getting older)
Better to use very low weights, and not even get a bead of sweat lifting it.

@julietp, Hi - I was wondering if you would mind posting an update on your husbands progress following his op to trim his meniscus?
I've just been offered the same op - hoping to ski this January but wondering if I'm being a bit too optermistic?
Any advice appreciated.
Many thanks

anyone know anything about tennis elbow?
I think I got tennis elbow. lots of pain in my elbow & surrounding muscles.
I purchased a hand held bandsaw that comes with a heavy base, I picked the thing up with one arm & the base fell open & yanked my arm.
This was about 3 weeks ago, but is not getting any better. fed up popping pills & rubbing indeep heat/voltoral/tiger balm

@Mr.Egg, Not and Expert :: I have suffered from Tennis Elbow, but as far as I know it is a 'Repetitive Strain' type of injury. My was caused by several years of 'Spanner/Screwdriving' - your injury sounds like a different thing (torn muscle ?)

@NickyJ, This is private, I'm in Kent?
Slight restrictions because of covid.
And not as many private ops taking place as NHS using private hospitals.

Tennis elbow (or golfers elbow - that might be the other, inner side) is lateral (outer) epicondylitis, irritation of tendons & other soft tissues around the elbow and forearm. Usually links into the fingers, ring and middle if I recall, and therefore grip. Can be helped by stretching the hand, wrist and fingers in full flex & extension; wearing a strap or rolled up tubigrip just below the elbow can help to give support. It is usually a repetitive use thing, but once in can re-iritate or take ages to go away. (Not qualified physio, do suffer a lot - mainly from tennis!)
@Mr.Egg, sounds more like an acute injury, as previous poster suggested. Tried rest, ice, compression (tubi grip or elbow sleeve), gentle stretching, etc? Not the best time to see physios, but some (in England at least) are still operating in person, and others will do video consults. Maybe time to contact one?

@Grizzler,
Everything you describe is what i have, except the discomfort stops just before my fingers. I dont need to pick up something heavy to feel pain, just gripping something and picking it up.
My GP is only doing video appointments & i am not going to go to physio, since its not life and death.
I already wear a strap but might try a tube.

@Mr.Egg, didn’t feed the poorly arm through and under the blade did you?
|
|
|
|
|
|
You know it makes sense.
|
|
I successfully managed golfers elbow caused through gym with stretches. GP was worse than useless, "it hurts doesn't it, you'll just have to rest it". Having said that I don't think it's what you have.

unfortunately it is my right arm & you feed the blade from the left, so would have no way to operate the machinery

Google 'exercises for tennis elbow' (maybe golfers' as well?) - worth a go. The hand stretch ones I found help. Good luck

Hi Dippy, I am sorry to say his recovery has not gone well. He still has pain walking, has not run once and doubts he will be able to ski this season. This is despite seeing a physio 3 times a week since july.
I don't want to put you off as i do have another friend who recovered pretty quickly (2-3 months) and it seems my husband's ongoing problems may be due to the cancellation of the original op meaning a 3 month delay during which he was walking 'on the knee.' So if you do need it (with no alternative) get it done sooner rather than later.
I really hope it does well, most seem to be fine within a couple of months. My husband is just very unlucky 6 months later with regular physio, second MRI, acupuncture, cortisone and HA injections etc still in a bad way despite the operation itself being 'successful!'
Good luck!

Interesting that Physiojen suddenly stopped contributing after Jonathan Bell posted on June 25 . . . .

@Physiojen, Hi Jen, thanks for your kind offer to give us Snowheads advice! You must be overwhelmed with questions...
I injured my left patellar tendon doing a barbell club class. Sudden onset pain above the patella doing a sequence of squats followed by rear lunges which produced quite bad pain on a rear lunge. (I had been up 2 Munro’s the 2 days before the class)and both patellar tendons were a bit tired after that). I have seen a local physio who loosened up all the surrounding muscles that had tightened up to support the knee and am getting back into classes without problems. I am planning to go running again soon - would the shoe lace tip work for this, and should I wear it above the kneecap as my pain wasn’t in the typical runner’s knee area? Thanks, Claire

The shoelace thing is for patella tendonitis. The patella tendon is entirely below the kneecap, so not sure you had a patella tendon issue if it was above! The shoelace is generally worn about as high as you can get it, with any higher being around your kneecap (where I doubt it would stay put).

If you tie a shoelace tightly enough around your leg above the knee, then pretty soon everything below will go quite happily numb, all knee problems solved...
