jogging is EVIL

Nope... rest of limb looks too 'clean' for a typical RTA case. Road Traffic Accidents would usually have lots more scratches and abrasions all over the limb.Originally posted by the Bear:looks like a road traffic accident
The wound also looks too 'neat'. It looks more like a surgical incision instead of an open trauma wound.
Let's wait for kitty to tell us more! -

OK, a word of caution about jogging / running - you are actually putting a lot of impact on your joints each time you run / jog because each time your foot hits the ground, your joints have to absorb an impact equivalent to FOUR TIMES your body weight!
I've been telling kops this forever but he wouldn't listen. Anyways, here's an excerpt from a website :
For an example, a person walking normally and weighing 63 kg. (140 pounds) will hit the ground with their body weight plus 20 percent or 75 kg. (168 pounds) per square inch of impact force. The same person running well, but not sprinting and not jogging will land with an impact force of about three times that of their walking force or in this case 225 kg. (504 pounds) per square inch of impact force. When a person jogs slowly they reduce the body's ability to handle impact and at the same time has increased the amount of weight bearing impact it has to handle. [b]Jogging slowly has a loading force of about four times that of walking or in this case 300 kg. (672 pounds) per square inch of loading force. A training error is running slowly to warm up. Overtime it will create degenerative changes to your knee, pelvis and spine.

Isn't the loading experienced during high-impact exercises supposed to help us build bone mass?

Weight-bearing exercises, yes, they do build up bone mass.Originally posted by Kuali Baba:Isn't the loading experienced during high-impact exercises supposed to help us build bone mass?
I guess in this case, it's between the devil and the deep blue sea! I'd rather go for BodyPump classes than jog, still, cause the tendency to injure yourself is lower in a BodyPump class. (Unless, you're like those guys who step into the class for the first time and wanna show off by placing too many weights on their bar and then suffering later!

Sorry Rhonda. It was indeed from a RTA.Originally posted by Rhonda:Nope... rest of limb looks too 'clean' for a typical RTA case. Road Traffic Accidents would usually have lots more scratches and abrasions all over the limb.
The wound also looks too 'neat'. It looks more like a surgical incision instead of an open trauma wound.

I was on my bike when I got side swipped by a van.
Dropped the bike, landed on my left knee & even pivoted on it before slidding face down on the tarmac.
Thankfully, my full face helmet prevented injuries to my jaws.
But my tatas was nearly 'buaed' off. I felt pain in my tatas, and didnt want to become a one tata female. So I finally managed to pull up my palms against the tarmac to stop the sliding.
There was pictures of my tatas that I took and sent to my EVAC friends in USA, which the doctor was nagging me to make sure that the skin didnt separate and there is no liquids from my nips. Thankfully, its only blue black for a long time.
I keep telling the nurse at the A&E to check my tatas, but she like, dont dare to lift up my polo tee to check. Even the doctor didnt borther to check.
Only abrasions on my arms.
I was really really lucky.

The ironies is that.
That was the same Sunday I completed a First Aid Emergency Preparedness course with the folks from Civil Defence. I was also insisting to volunteer as their ambulance attendant.
And at the accident site, a roaduser who happened to be a civil defence medic, stopped to check on me and took a look at my knee. He turns a bit ashen and tells me It looks really bad.
(I was like wryly thinking about the First Aid course where we were strongly advised to always comment to folks: Never tell them its bad. Even if you can see the brain beating thru a skull, ALWAYS TELL THEM ITS A SMALL CUT or SOMETHING MINOR.)
Then on the ambulance, I even joked with the ambulance attendant: Well, I asked to be a volunteer on ambulance. I sure got my wish to ride on a ambulance real quick.
Anyway, that knee was a clean bust. Even my jeans showed a small opening.
But ligament was torn and its flap trapped under a knee joint. Needed a micro surgery to snip it off. And nowadays. I dont jog. Walking too much also makes the knee sort of locked straight sometimes. -
Yipers! Nasty nasty RTA!!
And yes, we never tell the patients that it's bad. Here, the nurses tend to leave it to the doctors. We will tell the family members, and then let them decide how to break the news to the patient.
There's really a cultural divide re this - in some countries, patients actually WANT to know the truth and you can get in trouble for not telling. Here, you might get into trouble for telling! -

Still standing, can walk, can dance some salsa, cannot bend that knee too long and cannot land that knee too hard on any hard surface only.
I was really really lucky.
And being females, with period cramp experiences and so on. Pain isnt much of issue. -
Hey, I need to mention.
i am well over the Cancer & the RTA liao.
Those happened in 2004.
