"I wish I can tell you"

HUH?? I currently have STIFFNESS under the knee and in the calf area and It seems to be a tightness of the muscles and I asked this 77 year old man at my job what is the best to treat something like this and he says-"he don;t know??-lol

As long as he been in the world and he gives me a silly answer like that??

I'm really shocked right now because I never thought in a million years that he would give me a answer like that

That's hard to believe-lol I'm sure he has had some aches and pains in his lifetime

Brieannas21 · 03-03-2008, 01:14 PM

Well he's no doctor, he's just a senior citizen.

Yeah I guess you are right, well I asked a 67 year old woman the same question and she said try ICY HOT

Ireneparalegal · 03-03-2008, 02:23 PM

YOu could have asked me that question 10 years ago and I would have told you. I am far from being a senior citizen, but I have endured pain and can tell you every remedy in the book and then some.

You obviously haven't read the stories Janice, Tripperfan and Lauren (TrapperandHawkeye's baby) have posted abt our chronic pain.

Not all old people have joint problems.

so what's the best way to treat a sore calf muscle and stiffness behind the knee?

Ireneparalegal · 03-03-2008, 02:29 PM

You can try that. See how that works. I have used Icy Hot for a knee problem. I like the one where you can peel off the sticky to it and stick it right on your leg. Also, using a heat pad on the knee and then ice the knee. Do the heat for abt 15 minutes and then ice it for abt the same time or longer. Not too long though. Take some Ibuprofin / Motrin, it helps muscle stiffness, swelling, pain, etc.

thanks, will get on the way home

Brieannas21 · 03-03-2008, 03:59 PM

Try a hot soak in the bath, it helps me some after I do my run.

LuLu Rogers · 03-03-2008, 04:37 PM

My doctor has always told me ice is better than heat. Take it from someone who has to ice down her knees almost every day.

Like Irene mentioned above, you don't have to be old to have these aches and pains. Take me for example, I'm only 20.

Ireneparalegal · 03-03-2008, 05:48 PM

Remember Solomon, give it time for each remedy we give you. Things like that take time to feel better. You might have hurt yourself. We each have had things that work for us and maybe not for someone else.

Oh I know I just assumed he has been sore many of times between 1931 and 2008 and would have something to tell me that would defintely help. He proved today that AGE is defintely nothing but a NUMBER-LOL

How true! I know a 90 year old man who walks several miles a day and has no problem getting on the floor to play and roll around with his 10+ grandkids. And I know people my age (20) who won't even do that.
