I looked ganglia up on the internet -dont know why - it is a good though disturbing word......

"Surgery is the only effective treatment for ganglia. Traditionally, ganglia were burst by hitting them with a heavy object, usually the family bible."
so out with the family bible....

Hi morelearning.

I looked up ganglia too. Couldn't understand a word. So now that I'm an expert I recommend bed rest.

Take care.

Nate.

Look it up on the internet...Now why didn't I think of that!

Stiil, I'de better get up. It's 11:30!

Ok.
I looked it up.
Now I need a new word.

I suspect it's "muscle"

That and "torn"

sounds painful! That's the problem of getting that slightly bit older, we still think we can do it but our body disagrees!

feet up and footie for you all day then?

*ouch*

Are you sure it was a twang and not a twong? Or perhaps a rasping pinging sound or was that you farting? The sound is vital as twangs and ganglias dont tend to go together. It could very well be that you've strained or torn a hamstring - Read below :-
When the hamstring is injured and a twonging sound is heard the fibers of the muscles or tendon are actually torn. The body responds to the damage by producing enzymes and other body chemicals at the site of the injury. These chemicals produce the symptoms of swelling and pain.

In a severe injury big twongs will be heard and everyone around will stop and go ooooooh as the small blood vessels in the muscle can be torn as well. This results in bleeding into the muscle tissue. Until these small blood vessels can repair themselves, less blood can flow to the area. With this reduced blood flow, the muscles cannot begin to heal.

The chemicals that are produced and the blood clotting are your body's way of healing itself. Your body heals the muscle by rebuilding the muscle tissue and by forming scar tissue.Rest, ice, compression, elevation, bed rest and staying off the nest, carefully stretching and exercising your injured muscle helps maximize the building of muscle tissue as you heal.
Hope this helps. bs

EVERYONE has been recommending RICE.
I has a Chicken Tikka Massala on Friday night but it didn't seem to do that much good!
