Health and injury

Hi,
This is Dr Shirley NG, Naturopath. Specialist in Spine & Sports Medicine (www.SNH.com.hk)

I have made some video on you tube, hope it can benefit to general

Got acute pain at the back of the knee a month ago. General Doctor diagnosed it Popliteus Tendonitis. He prescribed mediclofenac sodium to cure the pain and inflammation.

How do people feel about running in the extremely poor air quality in HK? I know that I get concerned about my long term health. I don't know if many of you are aware but HK was recently ranked 8TH WORST CITY IN THE WORLD for dangerous air pollutants(http://news.newclear.server279.com/?p=2933)!!

Are any of you active in efforts to lobby the government to try to improve the situation such as becoming involved in organizations such as Clear The Air (http://www.cleartheair.org.hk/index.php)? If you are, I am very interested in knowing what people are doing.

Hi HK runners

Can anyone recommend a good sports physio? I'd like to stay on the cheaper side but I'd also prefer to see someone that's come recommended.

I've been ignoring a pain on the inner side of both legs that starts just above the ankle and is triggered from any kind of impact on my feet (ie running, skipping, etc). Any ideas on what it could be?

Any advice regarding mesotherapy in Hong Kong? (for Achilles tendonitis treatment)
Where to go? Recommendation? Expensive? Long treatment?
I've heard great things from ex-injured friends in France
thanks

Has anyone had extracorporeal shock wave Therapy to cure plantar fasciitis and how successful was it ? Is this an expensive medical treatment and where can one finds it in HK, tks.

Dear HK runners,

Can anybody recommend an Orthopaedic doctor/consultant in HK? I quickly need to get a diagnosis after experiencing collapsed arch and tenderness in lower leg and ankle area.

I like long distance running. I've been suffering from chronic injury on my right foot for over one year. The conditions have been sometimes better sometimes worse. Below are the symptoms:

I always thought I ate a healthy diet.
I did a lot of running, but I was always tired, my weight never changed and my recovery was slow. Over time my performance plateaued.
