Hello all,
Just a question. I am a 27-year-old woman and I am wondering if this is normal. Whenever I go to bed or say I am napping whether its a 1 hour nap or I am getting up from a nights sleep I have to hobble out of bed until I get moving more--this has been going on for the last couple of months it almost feels kind of like tendonitis in the ankles, however my calves are so tight when I first get up that they hurt to move as well...I mean I am not 18 but I am not old either is this normal you think or is it just from being stiff from sleeping through the night? cause once i get moving around I can walk just fine and stuff.
just curious--thanks--Jammiegirl

It's true as you get older things start to break down and not work so well. Weird, sporadic problems- they are so annoying.
But this case is troublesome. If they are tight and painful, it may be like the other person said here - achilles tendonitis. You could have injured it or overworked continuously and unknowingly it into a chronic condition. Of course, day to day activities, normal activities are going to aggravate it.
You may want to try to supplement with a few things. Firstly, you need something anti-inflammatory that works. The only anti-inflammatories on the market that I give credence to are plain 'ole aspirin and New Chapter 'Zyflamend' and 'Mycomend'. Zyflamend is an incredibly strong and advanced herbal formulation that is winning folks over by it's scientifically proven efficacy. I'd start with low-dose aspirin, use it 3 days on, 3 off.
Mycomend takes more the Eastern medicine angle with 'time-honored' Chinese medicine and the use of specific mushrooms like reishi and maitake to reduce inflammation. That's more of a *suggestion* than a recommendation like the aformentioned zyflamend.
You may also want to supplement with those other joint-supplements like MSM, glucosamine and chondroitin. I can't speak from experience about those, but people seem to talk a lot about them.
Personally, I would just take additional calcium/mag/zinc and C so your tendons can repair themselves and get lots of sleep and plenty of water. Also, it helps to believe that these things you are doing are helping you. Because if you do, they will!
