Yes! Runners w a diagnosis of osteoarthritis can run. It won’t worsen your OA. If you have too much pain to run… think of something else to do. Please…Don’t stop moving.

Might be best to avoid Spoutible. Lots of questions about the founder… and around security wrt to his access to your data.

Everyone's favorite CEO Bouzy claims to have built #Spoutible all by himself (or his team of himself, himself and more of himself?). Let's debunk it. A thread.

26 years ago I did an ACL/LcL, PLC on a young motorcyclist. His fibula head was blown up… so we repaired everything to the prox tibia. It worked. And he’s still a martial arts expert.

Returning to running after a prolonged, unplanned recovery can be challenging. I'd rather recover slowly than sustain yet another injury :)

For the second time in a month, I’m in hospital with an acutely unwell parent experiencing delirium. Different parent. Different hospital. The differences in care are subtle but make an enormous difference.

As said a few weeks ago… if you want to kick ass in your 80s—- you need to kick ass in your 30s, 40s, and 50s too. Our physiology changes. Our goal.. slow down slower !!

If you sign up to be a P2P doc... and you're not an orthopod... don't get pissy about us being annoyed. You're reading from a template... We're dealing with someone in pain. Don't ask me to read my note to you and explain what tests mean.

Funny. Ran 20 sec x 10 strides after short run. Plan was “5k”
Pace 🤦♂️. Takes me 10-15 seconds to find my pace 😂. And have no clue what my 5k pace even is anymore 😂

Utter nutritional nonsense.

90% of people are gluten intolerant.
We simply can't break down the proteins that make up gluten
They wreak havoc on your gut, causing inflammation & intestinal permeability
gluten & other toxins then get into bloodstream and head to brain/other organs
