That's excellent Chris! I know it seems like small steps sometimes, but you are well on your way to better health... and being bionic:) Your independance (driving, walking, etc) will come in time, enjoy every little step (pun intended). Keep up…

I am in Costa Rica right now and have already had my operation. No big immediate changes are obvious, but several small ones. That is as much as I could ask for!!! I am scheduled for physio every day until next week when I return home. Sounds like…

Leaving in just a few hours to start what is hopefully my healing journey..
That's one big ankle Chriso.... :)
Honnor: I am picturing myself suceeding, thanks for the advice.
Has anyone heard from Paul? Is he considering this treatment?

Hey Angel - glad to see you are keeping in the game
Well it is going to be time for some physical healing myself. I am booked to have the highly debated "Liberation" treatment to hopefully improve my MS symptoms. I'm off to Costa…

Hi everyone,
It has been quite a while since I commented. I was competing at the Canadian Nationals on the 3rd April (7th in the Masters and 5th in the Open Lightweight). Since then I have been back on the road to recovery - another MS attack has…

Hi Allisson... welcome to bodyproud. What are your aspirations, your profile doesn't indicate anything... ?
Brent Felstead commented on FAME World Tour's group 'Physical Healing'
I don't believe it would be the swing of the leg that is bothering your hamstring, but the constant impact of walking. Anything that keeps your feet planted (eg.bike) will be far less damaging to your already injured hamstring. If you must walk…

Positive thinking is only part of the equation. Positive thinking + Positive action = desired outcome. It is the positive thinking (good for mind and body) that leads to positive action (good for mind and body). The overall results can be amazing...…

Hi Jennifer,
I have had a cortisone shot into my right shoulder due to damage done training. The procedure itself is fairly uncomfortable, but I found the pain that followed a couple of hours later VERY painful. It help reduce the shoulder pain over…

Brandy: I would not concentrate on a specific weight loss goal, but a look. Weight can be effected by many things, such as water retention, whether you have recently had a bowel movement or not (no kiddin', it can make a couple of pounds…

I tend not to listen to my body and mind too much when it comes to fatigue. I have MS and fatigue is an intricate part of the disease. If I listened to my mind and body I would NEVER go to the gym again. The workout itself is my 'cure' for…
Brent Felstead commented on FAME World Tour's group 'Physical Healing'
Good point Chris. I certainly am less bothered by the pain in my hand and other pains for some hours after training. I also find that I think a lot clearer probably due to increased blood circulation in the brain.
And that is the best way of doing…
Brent Felstead commented on FAME World Tour's group 'Physical Healing'
How interesting. It indicates that it probably more than just a testosterone release that occurs. It works for me about 90% of the time, but now and then - nothing can get me going:( I've driven to the gym, done a couple sets then went home…
Brent Felstead commented on FAME World Tour's group 'Physical Healing'
Managed to make it training today:) but boy was I tired. I was up since 3:00 am because the snow plow going by outside scared the heck out of my 5 year old. Back today and hopefully shoulders tommorow... thanks for the support, I'll get my…

Chris Nally said… - No problems mate, I thought I would approach him ona level as a former soldier, then try to advance his knowlede of Philosophy not just God that can help us all. I do not think he did much schooling and as a truck driver, it all fits. Have to get him away from Garbage about the Global probems and old ladies squashing his foot {hell :- and that is PAIN talk!!, anyway he wrote me a 5 liner apologising like he had to do to Honnor and see what happens. If he gets worse I will bring Mindy and Jeff K in Brent.
Thanks for still remembering, I have stuff to send you as well mate
cheers from OZ
Chris , your mate

Chris, I have read your advice and I will think about it. I guess I did go off course with my story about the 300 pound woman and in the future I will make an effort to be more focused.Thanks for your words of wisdom
