There is a Festivus comp at CrossFit Belgrade in April. Teams of 3. It’ll be great fun, it’s an awesome gym. Google festivus 2021, the WODs are out! Also, the gym will participate in the CrossFit open. Come do it! That is in March.

I am 65/female, 5/9, 155 lbs. when I workout moderately my body had an inflammatory response and it takes about 3 days to calm down. My hands bear the brunt with tingling, numbness, and pain. Dr.’s had no answer. Is this normal?

Hi Myrah,
Thank you for reaching out to me. Based on the limited amount of information you provided I may not be able to be conclusive in my answer, and of course you should not construe this as medical advice. Inflammation responses from exercise which last several days suggests that either the duration or the intensity of the exercise may have been excessive per your body’s limits. Although this sounds overly simple, doing less/less hard would be a reasonable suggestion. The bilateral hand symptoms are potentially indicative of neural irritation, which can have multiple sources such as the cervical spine or the thoracic outlet. There are diagnostic tests that your physician, or other HCP’s can do such as Xray, MRI, EMG, but my hunch is that in a case like this looking at posture and mobility would be the first choice, which is of course safe and inexpensive. In some cases like yours, there is compromise in how the body functions which can overload tissue.You could set up a video consultation if you felt that was appropriate. Hope this helps.
This was the best!! (both in content and ‘style’ points)!

Makes me wonder whether my gait mechanics are compromised because of the many years of compensating for my right knee injury.

Yo Bubs…you are right on. We definitely can get into some “chicken and egg” considerations, Any physical, emotional, or chemical event can affect our motor programming. This alters the mechanical system and force management. While everything can’t always be completely reversed, it’s good to know that most issues can be addressed and improved significantly.
John! This is fabulous. Thanks for sharing! We just moved to Canada (Nelson BC –my husbands a dual citizen–came here to be closer to family). It’s so good knowing that we’ll still be in touch and I’ll be able to keep up with what you have going on from anywhere in the world:)
John – I was so interested in this study from the minute you published your plan to do it. Wow!! The results. Wow. Kudos to the control group for doing this, monitoring, etc.; I’m pretty sure none of this was easy for them but the information gleaned was informative. This is a VERY powerful message and I hope MANY people see it, read it, get it. I think you are a great person and it’s shown here by your care and respect for everyone involved in this project. I hope they take you up on your ‘open door’ offer. Thanks for doing this study. Jen
