  2. I'm flat footed too and have been fitted with New Balance 855 at factory store in San Francisco a few years ago. This was when I was running marathons, relays, trails, and my daily runs were along the Embarcadero off Fisherman's Wharf up to Ghiradelli Square. Then I started having knee pain and stopped running because it was very uncomfortable and pain would flare up after 15 minutes of running. It turned out that it was my IT band. It was tight and I didn't know how to loosed it up. Once I started rolling out my IT band with a foam roller. The pain started to subside. Now I can run perfectly without any pain. I make sure to stretch, be well hydrated, and roll out my IT band. As for the Vibrams, my sister is a triathelete and recommended I try them. I bought a pair and tried it. You really have to start off slow with them. I pulled my right calf muscle and was sidelined for two weeks. But after using them, I feel like I have a better running form and my legs feel strong and balanced. I've only used them for the treadmill, since they do look awkward in public. Plus I'm not sure if I'd like to run without any cushion on asphalt or concrete.
  3. I experienced the same type of pain a few years ago while I was building a sun room in my back yard. I twisted it bad with a power drill when the bolt I was screwing in locked with the torque setting too high. The drill kept turning and twisted my wrist along with it. I didn't hurt or bother me at the time but over the next few days I had pain in the outer wrist. I went to get it checked out by a specialist in joints (knees, wrists, elbows, ankles). They x-rayed my wrist and diagnosed a tear in the cartilage. The treatment was to layoff the wrist for about a month or two, and I wore a brace to stabilize the wrist. This meant no golf for a while until most of the pain went away. You should see a doctor and see what might be causing that pain in your wrist. I hope it gets better.
  4. Thanks. Good to know. This following link says that it's more prevalent with caffeinated sodas though. Seems nothing is truly considered safe these days. Drinking anything in moderation is the key. http://clivesimpkins.blogs.com/clive_simpkins/2010/03/harvard-med-school-on-carbonated-drinks-and-osteoporosis.html
  5. I recently stopped drinking diet sodas a few months ago. But it wasn't the soda I was craving it was the carbonation especially with a meal. I switched to some variation of carbonated water (sparkling, soda water, etc...) You still have to be careful though, there are some carbonated water that use artificial sweetners. Crystal Geyser Sparkling Mineral water is good option. There are many flavors when you get them at Costco in bulk. When I'm at a restaurant I usually ask for soda water with a lemon wedge.
