The Clear

Does anyone remember my tendinitus problem in my foot ?? a year or so ago? No ? Gawd, don't you folks pay attention? to my injury blog. Anyway, I'm sure you remember that the good foot doc prescribed ice (of course) ibuprofen (of course) and what we affectionately call 'the clear'. It's a compound medicine, a cream, that is basically a topical anti-inflammatory.

So, I just remembered that Gina had some, too, from her foot problem. And there's some leftover. So I have been applying to the hamstring, and I don't want to jinx things, butt, within the day things are butt-er. Of course I haven't run today so tomorrow morning will be the test.

Although, I did give the massage therapist, Kathryn, most of the credit today, while she was working on my legs. Cuz I remembered the charlie horse she inflicted on my calf last week. What is torture ? I dare Mr. Mukasey to endure that, and say "hmm, not sure if it's torture." :) I digress. And I shall also give much credit to Terri, the PT. Lest she decide on yet another stretching method (torture) to increase my flexibility.

Anyway, back to the Clear. If it's good enough for Marion Jones, it's good enough for me. Gotta love left over medicines.
