I was under the impression that a prolapse can't recover on its own - or are you meaning the chamber size had gone back to normal?

LJ thanks so much for your reply and I'm glad you didn't have a prolapse.

Thanks for the replies. BobD, did he mention why he wants you to keep your heartrate at that level - is it because of the enlarged chamber or does he think a high heartrate is dangerous for MVP?


Thanks
Shannon

I haven't posted in an entire year; last year I posted asking about a tingling in the chest and about rowing with knee arthritis. An MRI showed that all of the cartilege on the outer half of the kneecap and femur were worn away. Suddenly instead of erging I was not only not erging but staving off a ...

I am sorry for your news. I hope others have helpful advice, because I'm in the same boat. I have been meaning to post an udpate on my knees after having seen an ortho surgeon. He doc told me I can't row any more (like your surgeon he told me rowing is horrible for knees). When I was a teenager my k...

Thanks Z,

I'm definitely on the Omega 3 bandwagon. I take several capsules a day and have thought of increasing the dose to fight inflammation.

Thanks for the reminder,

Thanks for the replies. Robhen, I did get some glucosamine, thanks for your sympathy too. I used to take it before my last pregnancy and found it helpful. Barry, my doc mentioned that injection. I was not too keen on it at first but have read good things about hyaluronic acid. I'll try to work up my...

I searched the archives and see a similar post in 2004, but it was a bit different. My orthopedic doc told me Monday that I can't row any more. He said I've got osteoarthritis in both knees and rowing disintegrates them more quickly. I used to have chronic dislocation and had lateral release on each...

Thanks, I'll ask for the additional test. I was confused by the term radiographic chest scan, which I understood to mean chest x-ray (and that's what the cardiologist thought too). I'll mention this other method. I don't like to leave questions unanswered. He just gave me a month of samples and did ...

I saw a cardiologist this week (after getting my bloodwork done, which looked fine, including the CRP). He feels, based on my exam, history, risk factors, etc., that the pains are due to GERD (reflux). I have recently noticed reflux (I've had 4 pregnancies so am not surprised). He wants me to take a...

LJ, do you have any family history of cardiac disease? I am 39 with no family history. However, I plan to get a second opinion and the chest scan, and possibly switch doctors entirely. I've had no other chest pain while rowing (this tingling was after rowing), even when pushing myself hard. It seems...

Thanks a lot for the replies. I did go in for an EKG and had chest pain during it, and it was negative, and I have my cholesterol and other blood tests scheduled for next week. What I felt while rowing wasn't painful but a strang icy tingling. I have had chest pain sometimes, when I get angry or anx...

John M, I did have a handful of dark chocolate covered almonds before rowing. I don't think there's a lot of caffeine in there but I'll be more careful. Thanks Pam, I'll try the chest stretches. John R, Thanks for the caution. I'm 39 and have a clean family history. I do recall now that women can be...

First - I've had a stress test & cholesterol test within the past year and everything was normal. I just finished a 45 minute piece, which was not too stressful - it included varying levels of intensity, a 2000 good hard piece and a few short pyramids but also enough steady state 80% strokes that I ...
