Aiming to gain through pain – Calgary Sun
July 12, 2010 by: Admin PaulIt hurts just watching Josh Peek run to and from the entanglement of a horseshoe around the logo flames before action Stampede Rodeo begins each afternoon.
While the world’s oldest rodeo in Prescott, Arz. over Cowboy Christmas, securing Roper / steer wrestler is hurt badly. His guide stopped as Peek fell and the horse ran ragging on her right leg. He did not get back on the saddle until the opening day at the Stampede.
feel a little better every day, Peek is still struggling with the pain.
His next break comes in the fall.

Question by lets_group_hug: Awkward pain in the right and left leg?
I’ve been having problems with leg pain during track and I’m not sure what it is, or what it is caused by.
On my LEFT LEG- I have pain on the lower interior(near my ankle) and it hurts if I put pressure on it; including when I’m running. I’m guessing this is shin splints but I’m not clearly sure.
On my RIGHT LEFT (most important problem)- When I put pressure on this leg, my ankle hurts and the pain branches until it hits below the knee area. Most of the pain is, again, on the interior part of my leg. Then when I sprint, there is a pain in my butt, but its hard to tell where specifically it is.
HISTORY- I’ve broken my right leg and smashed my ankle. I had to get surgery on my ankle, and fractured three parts of my leg.
What should I do? And how do I get rid of it? I’ve been limping the past few days and haven’t been able to run at all. Help please? Thank you! =]

i have this too i was in a horrible atv accident and have it in my whole lft leg from toes to hip and in my ribs back and shoulders and my leg is so much more swollen and discloerd and i cant move it and i cant walk
In reply to TheChromeStallion- I know smoking is no good for me. I have quit for long periods at a time since getting my RSD (for roughly 6-12 months each time) but it’s my constant struggle and lately I haven’t been able to kick it, as much as I’d like to.
Mentally, I find it helps me deal with the pain, but I know that physically, it’s making me worse.
Thanks for the kind comments. I wish you all the best of luck with your RSD journeys, too. xx
you poor girl, I totally understand how you feel, I havr two lil ones 4 and 1! It breaks my heart when I can’r play with them or do the things they want because of my pain! I will pray for you & If you have aby tricks to help with the kids, I am open to anything at this point!
If doctors and people were more educated on this illness it would make things a lot easier for us who suffer from this. Most times people are treated very badly because of the ignorance of others, driving good poeple into depresion and even suicide in some cases. It is good that there are now a few foundations out there promoting the causes & the symptoms of this syndrome to educate people & doctors to help understand & treat this illness. Good luck to you & don’t give up on life. I haven’t
I hope you can find a way to lower your pain some. Sorry to hear your are going thru this pain. Most people can’t tell how much this condition disables one from doing the things we used to do & don’t understand, but we who suffer the condition can understand each other very well. I started w CRPS when I was 28 years old. At 1st people & doctors looked at me like if I was making things up, or like if I was lazy or wanted attention. But now that I’m in a power-wheelchair they know how bad it is.
Hi. I don’t mean to preach but smokes are worse for your bones combined with the CRPS condition. I had to quit.
I’ve been suffering CRPS for almost 5 years now, combined with DJD/Osteoarthitis/Post Traumatic/Degenerative Arthrosis, etc. My CRPS is on both of my feet, ankles & legs. Sometimes my right arm hurts & swells up, but it goes away eventually, thanks God. But in my legs, ankles & feet is permanent w the pain & swelling & it never goes away. I was put on Methadone but it dont help much
I’m going on 9 years, with it starting in my right hand and arm then spreading to my right leg and foot 3 years ago. Sorry to hear you’re dealing with this, too.
How long have you had rsd?
I’ve had it 5 1/2 years….
Your coach should have noticed you limping. I strongly urge you to consult your school’s athletic trainer and also your doctor if the problem persists or gets worse.
For the pain in the interior part of your lower legs, yes that is shin splints. However, with your case, your right leg may actually have stress fractures since you broke it and there could have been some leftover cracks from before. Again, I urge you to go to your doctor/trainer.
For the left leg, that is just shin splints really. I had the same problem but it went away after a while. I mean, it never fully goes away, but it becomes duller and you get used to it. Just ice it when it gets especially bad or if you feel you should. Your trainer will probably tell you the same thing to just come in and ice it every now and then.
make sure you ice the areas and take advil. also talk to your coach, because he has probably had a lot of experience with people’s injuries, and may have seen this happen to someone else. you should also go see your school’s athletic trainer or go to the doctors.
I agree with the first poster. Find a doctor–one that specializes in sports.
I hurt myself and one doctor told me to stop. Another one, whose wife is a runner–helped me out, and understood my dilemma. He wrote me a script so I could see her. After two physical therapy sessions with her–I did a 5K.
Do you train on a treadmill? Incase you train on a treadmill & then switch over to track/road you are definetly gonna experience pain.
My suggestions.
* immediately stop training.
*Consult a good (sports)Doctor.
*Get yourself a good pair of runnin shoes(best fit).
*Start running on beach sand.
*Switch over to a slightly harder surface.
Considering you have fractured your ankle bones in the past, Im sure they arent very strong. You’ll have to strengthen them if you want to prevent this from reappearing.
Good luck, hope you get back on the track as soon as possible.
