Thank you all for your advice and information. This is all very helpful. I do want to be able to work out for years and years to come, so I keep reminding myself that a couple of months isn't that long.... :) I did see a massage therapist last week, and it was amazing the difference it made...

I am actually seeing a massage therapist this afternoon :) When you say lazy glute...what does that mean and how would I know if I have that? I will try the tennis ball idea too, thank you!

Thank you for your replies. I got a foam roller last night and used it on my hamstrings and inner thighs. The tendon that hurts though is so high up, right at the apex between my thighs, that the roller doesn't ever touch it. It did feel great on my hamstrings, but am wondering is it still...

I have been dealing with what I believe is tendinitis in my high hamstring, specifically my semitendinosus muscle. (this is all self-diagnosis with the help of the internet....I can't get in to a specialist until the end of next month). Anyway, I can feel the tendin at the top of my inner...

Thank you for your responses! I looked it up on runners world, and the high hamstring tendonitis sounds exactly like what I have. They recommend massage with a roller or a ball as well as some exercises. I had been working out every morning, including lower body weight work outs at least once...

I have been having some discomfort at the top of my thigh, bottom of my buttock area. It isn't my hamstring, and it isn't my groin...I can stretch both with no pain. I think it is where muscles attach to my pelvis or "butt" bone on the Ischial Tuberosity. I feel some stiffness when walking...

Try adding flax seed oil to your diet. I started adding it to my yogurt every morning in April of this year, and my skin feels so much softer and smoother already! It is wonderful stuff. You can also add ground flax seeds to your cerial, yogurt, salad, whatever. I am almost 43, and have some...

After Menopause? I would love to hear from some of you who are no longer in Menopause...what comes after? Does it get easier to maintain your weigt once you are through?

So you don't have vinegar or lemon juice in this recipe, and you don't heat process them? If this is the case, then I really feel better....my mother-in-law had me really worried!

Thank you for that reply! Almost everything I read on-line said that you have to add it to be safe....I did find a couple of posts where people said they didn't ever use lemon juice. It is good to hear that you never add it and you are fine! I guess vinegar does the same thing, but I didn't...

I really have no idea how the procedure helped with PMS, but it did. I used to be grumpy, emotional, bloaty, crampy....starting the week before and had horrible, long, heavy periods. I notice a little bit of a breakout once in a while and think "it must be that time" but the moodyness and...

I had an ablation about 4 years ago. I have had great results! No periods at all and my PMS symptoms have all but disappeared. I highly recommend it. It changed my life!

Yes, the itching is unbearable! I was really hoping to find something that would work, but maybe there isn't anything. I wonder, so spray tans use the same ingredient? I am afraid to try it!

Thanks for all of the recommendations! Now my wish list is much, much longer :p. I think I will have to try the first book in the Outlander series next. I recently got a Kindle as well, and love it! I didn't think I would like it because I really like real books, but I got it as a gift and...

The Hunger Games. I am now on part II of Catching Fire. Wow, I know these are considered kids books but I can't put them down!! Has anyone read the Underlander Chronicles by the same author? I am wondering if they are equally good? Also, I read a while back on this forum that the Outlander...
