Still swollen and there is some pain (less than before). Would contrast bathing help him? We know this is a long process. Just want to get him out of boot and back to some activity (not running - yet) Thank you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08745464042055034723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673715911736059911.post-59737912875400912622019-02-01T05:46:50.799-08:002019-02-01T05:46:50.799-08:00They wash their feet day by day, now and again a f...They wash their feet day by day, now and again a few times each day, when school. They wear clean permeable socks and turn their shoes to give their shoes a chance to let some circulation into between each wearing.

However, my directions say start with warm water for 5 minutes, cold water for 5 minutes and repeat finishing with warm water...total of 25 minutes. 5 minutes of ice water sounds like a long time. But my aim is to get back into a regular shoe.

I just suggest people should start having hot tub baths. Hot tubs or whirlpools are not the best way to speed recovery after a long and hard training session (especially a run). Your body tends to be battling inflammation or swelling of joints and muscles, while Immersing in warm water raises your body temperature, causing your blood vessels to dilate and increasing circulation. This results in less swelling and pain, and increases mobility a clear benefit for the people who deal with arthritis. Please check out dealers like <a href="http://www.lazboyspas.com/" rel="nofollow">Lazyboy Hot Tub Manuals</a> to get clear idea on which one you want to purchase. Relax and Renew your body, mind & sprit with full featured & full size after spas hot tubs.

I've had cortisone injections every 6 months for the first 2 years from my local Doctor then went to a Physiotherapist and had 6 months of Shock Wave treatments that didn't help. I then went to a Specialist and received more injections which only helped for about a month each time and then I was back again for more. Then on the 24th September 2011 I sprained my ankle as I was getting out of bed - yes, before I even touched the floor with my foot. I heard a very loud crack and it hurt really bad - even my husband heard it! It started swelling and aggravated my Achilles tendonitis to the point where I couldn't wear my shoes. I had to buy a pair the next size up if I wanted to go somewhere. It stayed very sore and swollen for months until I had a intensive set of cortisone injections in February 2012. It helped (until now) and the ankle swelling and tendonitis went away but I still have a strange swelling on the top of my foot. It starts where my toes join and then goes up the foot almost to my ankle. It swells and hurts more if I'm on my feet a lot or even just a few hours so I'm going to try your hot and cold bath method to see if it helps.<br /><br />I still have the Achilles tendonitis (in both ankles now again) and was referred back to a different Physiotherapist. After 5 treatments he said I had too much inflammation in my body and couldn't treat me - the more he and I worked on it, the worse it got. The strange thing is, all my doctors etc. have told me doing The Negative Heel Stretch is the only way it will help it but in one of your videos, you say they should be avoided. I've tried doing them (because my doctors have told me) but I had excruciating pain and had to stop. It only makes my problems worse and for some reason they don't believe me. Anyway, I'm going to follow your advice with the calf, ankle and foot stretching instead and hope it works.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673715911736059911.post-30504289148363671382013-06-18T19:34:43.809-07:002013-06-18T19:34:43.809-07:00This works great for the people with sore arms tha...This works great for the people with sore arms that pitch in baseball and softball!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673715911736059911.post-91169060512626996482010-04-27T10:28:24.473-07:002010-04-27T10:28:24.473-07:00I wanted to send a big thank you for the contrast ...I wanted to send a big thank you for the contrast bath recommendation! After trying it the first time I was able to walk around the house pain free! I admit was in shock, how well it worked. I am not completely pain free as my foot is still in the healing process. Needless to say, It takes plenty of patience, but if you do the work, you will feel a difference.Luzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08926500257942119204noreply@blogger.com
