physical grumps

[anotheranon]

Not complaints exactly, just concerns:

• My feet and hands go to sleep at the drop of a hat - not from sitting on them or elevating them either. With my hands, it might be carpal tunnel but I have no explanation for my feet, especially considering more exercise = better circulation than I've ever had before. Some snooping on WebMD suggested it might be a lack of B vitamin so I'm going to supplement and see if that helps.
  
  
• My right knee is sticky - not painful, just a bit stiff sometimes. This is definitely fencing related as it's worse on days/mornings after practice. Not sure whether to rest it or exercise it more.

Actually, it's my left (back) knee that's my base - pushes off my lunges, I step/land with my right (front).

I do squats - with and without weights, and something my previous coach called the "betty boop exercise" which kinda resembles the Charleston (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Baker_Charleston.jpg) in rotating the knee joint around.
