I am a 43 year old female, I have been experiencing chronic lower back pain for the last 8 months, the pain feels like it is nerves, I have trouble walking and can only walk around 20 metres. I take lyrica and palexia, they do not seem to be working. This is having a huge impact in my life

Female | 43

Chronic lower back pain can have various causes, such as spinal herniation, muscle strain, or spinal stenosis. If the pain feels nerve-related and affects your ability to walk, it could indicate nerve compression or damage. If medications like Lyrica and Palexia aren't effective, consider discussing other options with an orthopedist, such as physical therapy, injections, or surgery.

Is a longer femur or longer tibia better for sprinting speed?

Male | 24

Having a longer femur is better for sprinting speed. The femur is your thigh bone. A longer femur helps power your sprints. However, a longer tibia below your knee strains leg muscles. A longer femur gives you an advantage for sprinting speed. Be sure to train safely and avoid overworking muscles though.

This is often the case for runners who have to deal with this type of pain. The factors may be, first, overuse, second, wrong footwear, and third muscle imbalance. As a first step, try to diminish the volume and the intensity of your running. You can also try icing the area, gentle stretching, and strengthening exercises for your leg muscles. It's crucial to listen to your body and if you feel pain, take breaks when necessary during the training. If it still hurts, it's better to consult with an orthopedist or a sports medicine expert.
