Any relief for bursitis and knee stiffness
I am tired of pain. I have bursitis in both heels right now. I am having problem with my right knee (stiff and sore). Bursitis/tendinitis in my right ankle has been going on for 2 years now. Bursitis in left ankle has been going on for 3-6 months. Knee problems have been off and on ever since I started running. Knee just feels "tight" stiff and has low level pain. All of the pains go away when running but return later.
I have been to the doctor for right ankle and he prescribed stretching and icing. Neither of which seemed to help. Bicycling did seem to help. I have not been to the doctor for the rest because he will only me for one problem at a time. I am convinced this is a system problem and examining each in isolation will not solve.
All the reading that I have done says stretching, compression, ice and motion are best cues. The doctor I went to treats Olympic athletes so he has a very good reputation. Anyone else have anything better? Go to a different doctor?

The holidays are fast approaching. Only about 2 weeks until Thanksgiving.
This time of year I bet you don't have a lot of time to workout.
But it is vital right now to do just that. With all the cookies, cakes, parties, and social gatherings...
