I have this problem - and it is something that I inherited from Grandpa Kopp - (and it's not an uncommon thing) is that one of my legs is slightly shorter than the other. The chiropractor could see it in the way that I stood and walked. He gave me a 5 mm heel pad for my shoe and it helped balance things out. I have been running the past few weekends in Chesterton without it, and really am having a lot of hip/lower back pain again. Might be worth checking out if you ended up with that gene! Just 2 FYI's, after I put in the heel pad, I did get a sore knee from the slight change in position and posture, but it eventually strenghtened up and was fine in a couple of weeks. And they are easy to forget when you put on sandals - which I know you wear a lot!the old guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03892392111497870315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828439678470154591.post-91224339698487696852010-05-30T10:51:05.473-07:002010-05-30T10:51:05.473-07:00How exciting that your blog had helped someone els...How exciting that your blog had helped someone else do something. Sometimes when we can't believe in ourselves...it's easier to believe in someone else. It's got to feel good to be someone to believe in. <br /><br />I know I sound like a broken record, but I'm going to say it again...and again...protein after you run to help your muscles and joints recover, and a day in between. Everything I've read says that. Ride your bike on alternate days. You can still get the exercise while the running muscles rest and get stronger.momnoreply@blogger.com
