Phil and I are doing a lot of road trips this time of year. I just used an iTunes gift card my mom gave me to buy the audio book. I think it all be a good thing to listen to while driving. Thanks for the suggestion.Buy the book "Younger Next Year" by Chris Crowley. Google him. Check out the YNY website. Look at the book reviews. The book is not just a game changer, it is a life changer.

Interesting thread. The two of us have somehow accumulated 160 years of living, we have skied many of those years. We've also had injuries, illnesses, and worn out body parts with their accompanying aches and pains. We're lucky enough to spend winters in Crested Butte minutes from the slopes and are able to ski most days. In the summer we ride road bikes almost daily. It's just what we do. No secret to it, we just keep moving. Even if it's slowly.
I feel this one. I sprained my ankle almost exactly a month ago. Today I was able to get that ski boot on. Previously, I think my ankle would have fit, but I couldn't push hard enough to get my foot in. But, closing the joint creates a whole buncha pressure and some mild-ish pain. I thought I'd be skiing next weekend, but my better judgment has doubts.This year is a sprained ankle that won't heal despite PT, etc., and consequent issues with calf,

Has anyone had positive experiences with arnica for aches and pains?
Application of "Arnicare" cream to my "knees on fire" works ....
For about 1/2 hour ;-)
Yes. My family uses it, and have been for about 12 years. Great results. For more than a half hour.
I first heard of it from a USST doc. Then our son raced a full year with a torn shoulder labrum, and his doc {generally considered the top sports shoulder guy in the country} recommended both Arnica/Montana tablets and Arnicare gel.
My wife, adult kids and I use it whenever we have muscle, or ligament strain. For us, it works. I bet the kids have a few dozen friends who use it.....introduced years ago by them.
Just my string $.02!
We are listening to it now, interesting.Phil and I are doing a lot of road trips this time of year. I just used an iTunes gift card my mom gave me to buy the audio book. I think it all be a good thing to listen to while driving. Thanks for the suggestion.

Pulled something in my back bending over to put boots on.. Skied that day but was sore for over a month afterwards. Landed a jump kind of hard near the end of the LZ and felt a POP! in my chest as I compressed.. felt like a bullet hit me, lost my breath for a moment. Ribs were very sore for a month again, so sore I had to sleep on the other side.
I hike, I coach soccer, I stretch, I skateboard sometimes. Still can blow something and wreck myself at ant time due to one sudden, jerky, unexpected move. Getting old sucks.
