    Dear Mr Webster, thank you so much for making these Videos! I'm a med student from Germany and I have an exam coming up on Monday and your videos have helped soooo much!! I have spent quite some time looking for Videos like these, with good models and I'm happy I found your channel. They are just perfect for visualization of the most important aspects of each part/organ. And I really like your somewhat funny way of teaching, it's so nice. So please keep on making more Videos, I'll be watching them all. And good look with your preparation for your run, take care of that sore soleus muscle :)

I lost dorsiflexion after a hernia L4/L5 two years ago; but it doesn't look like the foot drop video. I have strength and sensibility but my calcaneal doesn't touch the floor when I walk. I tried botox injections, calf, phisioterapy, but didn't work. Also, my Achilles doesn't look shortened in MRI. I'm so lost

    Hi Sam. Another great video. Thanks for supporting MacMillan. One of my favourite charities too. Just want to make some additional points. A flabby Achilles Heel is often a sign of high cholesterol so may be time to get a test. Achilles, the Greek god, was killed by an arrow at the heel. A Gastrocnemius or Achilles strain means stubbornness or fear of change particularly with regard to family or similar relationships.

    Wauuu...🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
    For one thing, while many people do calf stretches and exercises they don’t think much about developing the front of the shin, tibialis anterior. Which is where walking comes in. The tibialis anterior is a key muscle in walking and a person that walks well probably need not think about working this muscle because proper gait patterns keep tibialis anterior toned and supple.
    But this blog exists to tell you that you don’t walk correctly. People that stand and walk well create a natural balance between the calf and the front of the shin that allows the achilles tendon to live a fairly uncomplicated life. Instead one of two misalignments is likely to be happening:
    A hyperextended knee which angles the achilles tendon chronically backwards.
    Tights hips which pull the knee and shins sideways when walking force the achilles sideways as well.
    Either of these two factors-hyperextension and tight hips-can lead to a chronically stressed and short achilles tendon that might well break down in an acute situation when you need a burst of speed. Walking, standing and running require the feet to land under the knees, which allows the achilles tendon to work smoothly.

    When you rupture the plantaris, it shrivels up and your body gets rid of it eventually. But does it also tear fascia and can the remnants hit nerves? When I did this to my left leg my PT asked me - how can you walk six miles without pain and then you sit with your leg up extended and your leg seizes up in lot of pain. I think they did not believed me. Now I am going through this with my right leg.

I have supinated 🦶 and twisted externally of course ..had also an external meniscus tear on that knee but that is practically cured..quads and hamstrings well trained. Thank you 🙏

    Many years ago I got stung all over by a lot of bees at once, and oddly enough my right lower calf decided to swell up a lot. I thought it would be a temporary thing but all these years later my right calf is still noticeably and measurably girthier than my left; the extra girth feels like it's either fat or fascia since I can pinch it between my fingers while on the other calf not so much. There's also now a spot where that vein you mentioned is permanently visible, but not protruding like a varicose vein. When I run my fingernail over it it feels like it corresponds with an ever so slight cleft, I suspect this is where two neighboring muscles meet. I wonder if the additional girth and tenderness is due to mild necrosis or something? I remain curious and puzzled.

      @SamWebster  6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      It's a muscle sometimes found between the soleus and tibia. It might attach to the soleus or tibia, and to the calcaneal tendon or calcaneus. It seems to be a remnant of our evolutionary tree and is a little variable anatomically.

    Could you do a vid on the sacrum. I just had an MRI and it's showing a cracked sacrum. Going for a CT scan and bone scan tomorrow morning so that my spine Doctor Mazzafaro can get exact information to see what he needs to do to get me out of pain. I did receive cortisone shots in L4 L5 facet joint area Three weeks ago. It did help but still pain and Inflammation . I am able to get around but I have to take Advil and Tylenol each morning. It's been 10 weeks since my pain started due to the fact I was laying sod and using my right leg and foot as a tamper. Not a smart move. I am 67 plus I was on Prednisone for 11 months due to very bad lung inflammation which is now all cleared up. But I believe Prednisone made my bone density below normal. Will find out tomorrow.

      @@simonloo1588 You won't like my advice. I am not a doctor or pt, I teach tennis. But in my life I have had chronic tendinitis and once I had it high up on my achilles tendon. I had a mri done so it was confirmed. If your soleus was injured it would heal faster. The only way to get over tendinitis is to get the rate of repair faster than the rate of damage. You could stop running, and even wrap it up and use crutches to get around - and 4 weeks later it would still hurt, but 8 weeks later if may be better. I would check out some PT's depending on Covid in your area and they can help with the rate of repair. Friction massages, untra sound or what ever they do these days. But you are in charge of limiting the rate of damage. For my achilles injury I did calf stretches all day long.
