I was once told one of the biggest problems with FMers is we are usually overachievers and most likely type"A" personalities. So, it would figure we don't know when to quit until it's too late. I went for a 12 mile mountain biking ride back in Sept. and it took about a month to completely recover from it...dumb, just dumb. On the other side of the coin, exercise is the key. I recovered by going rollerskating. I skated for a solid 1 1/2 hours and it worked the front of my legs, finally releasing the knots in my calves from the bike riding, which stopped the pain in my heals from the excessive tight muscles. Now, how's that for stupid dumb luck? I now constantly try to think in terms of opposite use of muscles. Use it too much one way, find an opposite way to use it. It works to release the spasms and pain in most cases. It's just tough to figure out how sometimes. Take Care, John
