Mine: In 2011 I developed a tightness that went away after a thorough warmup but always returned in the morning. I ran through it, thinking it was not a big issue. It got worse and worse and within 3 months I was limping badly. I had tendonitis and bursitis. How did I get rid of it? 4 months of not running, using heel lifts for the first 3 weeks or so until the worst of the pain went away, aggressively massaging and rolling my calf, and alternating ice/heat to stimulate blood flow to the area. I started eccentric heel drops after one month. Almost 4 months to the date of stopping running, I woke up one morning and didn't limp when I walked to the bathroom. One of the best days of my athletic life.

Katerine is a 22 year old aspiring dancer, she has been practicing ballet since she was 5, however that does not mean that her body is used to the stress and pressure. At the age of 16, Katerine experienced a painful cramp while performing on stage. She did get throught the performance, painfully, but later had to visit her doctor because the pain just got worse, with simple medication and regular stretching her muscle spasm did heal but she is super careful with her diet and lifestyle today because she doesn't want anything coming in betweenher and her dreams.
