  • Quote: Silverbirch - I would suggest Fire Hydrants and Clamshells. You can also do the easy hip swing where you hold onto something and just swing one leg straight front and back slowly as far as is comfortable.
    Jen, thank you very much for these suggestions. I tried the Clamshells out this morning at the gymn + the exercises that I'm already doing. It felt as though something was happening so that's good. ... And now my foot hurts madly. I think it's because I walked briskly to my early morning meeting and I'd done a mile by about 10am (before the gymn). My lower body doesn't like that kind of thing at the moment. (For heaven's sake!) So I'm continuing to work on it which is all you can do, isn't it? Short of amputation. Well, actually, I'm about to put them into a foot spa and rub them with wonderful cream. And then race out again to an evening meeting.

    Me, too, my friend, me too!
