Hi Larry
Thanks for the advice. I went on a long run this morning and came back with bad nerve pain in both heels.It seems that whenever I use muscles intensely or for a protracted time, the triggers become sensitised and this shortens the muscle. I end up getting problems like insertional tendonitis in the Achilles and nerve pain.
I suspect there is a more general biochemical imbalance that leaves me susceptible to this. Strangely enough before reading this post I tried 1/3 tsp of magnesium and it eased the pain to stop the hobbling (it gets pretty bad!). It seemed to help a fair bit this time...within about an hour.
I'll start taking it at night as I find all my muscles seem to shrink overnight leaving them tight..esp the calves.
I haven't got any taurine but I will give it a go. I have heaps of calcium in my diet and I read that this can compete with magnesium for absorption?
Thanks again
sabre
