Ouch that hurt! This is a forum for Irish Dancers to discuss their injuries and aches and pains, in the event that they do happen (which I sincerly hope they don't). This forum is not to be used as a substitute for medical professionals. You should always go to see a doctor if you are in pain!

This happened to our friend (my kids just keep losing their toenails!), and it seems like it took months for her to regain her confidence and then her dancing ability. Don't give up!

I have a broken toe to.And I tape it with surgical tape.You can get this from any pharmacy.Just tape your toe with the one beside it. I was told it takes six to eight weeks to heal.Its been eight weeks now for me and it is still sore and I am nervous to try walking without the tape.I will take it step by step.My toe and ajoining toe are very tingly right now.I tried to do some arobic walking and now that same foot,swelled up.So no dancing or excersize.

Canada consists of 10 provinces and three territories in five main regions: the Atlantic
region, Central Canada, the Prairies, the West Coast and the North. The culture and
population are different in each region. The Atlantic region consists of the provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador. Activities such as fishing, farming, forestry, tourism and mining are important to the Atlantic economy.Central Canada consists of the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. This is the most populated region of the country. Together, Ontario and Quebec produce more than three-quarters of all Canadian manufactured goods.The Prairies include the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Much of the land is flat and fertile, excellent for farming and rich in energy resources. In western Alberta, the Prairies end and the Rocky Mountains begin. The Canadian Rockies include some of the largest peaks in North America. On the West Coast, the province of British Columbia is famous for its mountain ranges and forests. Natural resources such as lumber and fish are important to the economy. Fruit farming is also a major industry, as is tourism.The North consists of Canada's three territories: Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Together, they make up over one-third of Canada's land mass. Northern resources include oil, natural gas, gold, lead and zinc. visit: http://settlement_in_canada.sitesled.com/chapter6.htm

Anyone have any info on this type of injury - how to treat, time of healing, how to prevent ? Would appreciate any insight...thanks !

Greetings all,

I've been dancing for about 6 months now and I get this recurring pain in the top and middle of my left foot. It doesn't happen so much with the right, but the left is severely affected.

Should I get in-soles? Take pain meds and hope it goes away? Excedrin will relieve the pain temporarily, but it comes back FULL FORCE when the meds wear off.
I don't want to do any damage, but I'm sick of feeling like a muppet because no one else in my classes is having this problem!

Any suggestion to someone who's relatively new to the world of Irish dance?

Cheers,

Annie Sinead O'Flynn

New Liffey Rivers Thriller Unfolds Under Celtic Blood Moon

The ancient Celtic Blood Moon summons 13-year-old Irish dancer Liffey Rivers back to Ireland, plunging her into deadly danger as she searches for the mysterious woman who wears a diamond ‘M,’ on the summit of the Mountain of the Moon.

Sligo, Ireland. September 2, 2008-- 13-year-old Irish dancer Liffey Rivers finds herself summoned back to Ireland by the ancient Celtic Blood Moon and plunged into deadly danger in the much anticipated third book of the Liffey Rivers Irish Dancer Mystery Series: Liffey Rivers and The Secret of the Mountain of the Moon, by Brenna Briggs. (ISBN (10): 1419652907; ISBN (13): 9781419652905, 178 pages, perfect/trade paper: $13.99).

Irish Dance and Cultural Magazine says, “Liffey Rivers...will keep you guessing right through to the end, starring a quirky Irish dancer who should not be underestimated!”

Liffey Rivers and The Secret of the Mountain of the Moon is available through bookstores and online at www.amazon.com.

About a month ago, at dance class, i fell on my knee. i felt fine and i got right back up again and kept dancing. About a week after that, a big black and blue mark showed up there. Now it really hurts. I went to the doctor and they arent so sure as to what it could be but said it is not life threatening and that it might be a torn liggament. They have made me stop dancing. I am just wondering if anyone has any remedies to help stop the pain or to make it heel quicker. Thanks for any feedback.

I have had hip problems for the past eight months. Cracking, grinding, and discomfort. It turns out that I have been over rotating my hips and I have stretched muscles in my hip and shortened others. With the help of PT I have gotten it under control. A few weeks ago, I injured my Achilles tendon. I've been limping around. It seemed to get better, so I went back to class. Now, I am in A LOT of pain. My right Achilles is sore, my left ankle hurts because of all of the extra stress I'm putting on it because of my injured right foot, and my hips are also feeling the strain! I'm continuing with PT for my hips, and I don't want to be out because of injuries anymore! I miss dancing in class and pushing myself without having to worry about aggravating anything! If anyone has any advice, it would be appreciated. This is the first year I've ever been plagued by injury!

Has anyone ever had these conditions before? I have gone to physio and am icing, stretching, and taking anti-inflammatories, but I am just wondering whether you stopped dancing (either long-term or short-term) to let it heal?

If you did stop dancing, how long was it for, and once it healed did you go back into dance full-force? Thanks! Also, for those that assist in teaching dance, did you still teach or not? Thanks again!

My name is Christian Bruhn. I am completing graduate studies in exercise science at Central Washington University. I am working under the direction of Dr. Vince Nethery, Professor in CWU's Department of Health, Human Performance and Nutrition. My thesis work is focused on designing a workout program customized for the movements associated with Irish Dancing.

I am requesting your assistance in completing a survey designed to examine the training habits among dancers. The study will help determine the relationship between skill level, extracurricular activities, cross-training and injuries within the Irish dance population. The research conducted will be used to help develop a training manual focused on preparing dancers for competition.

Information will be obtained from past and present competitive Irish Dancers of all age and skill level groups. Ages will range from 10 to adult (minor participation in the study will be completed by parent or guardian).

An anonymous survey has been constructed to provide information on gender, age, skill-level, dance training, cross-training activities, extracurricular activities and injuries. Two surveys will be utilized (a survey for adult dancers, and a survey for parents/guardians of minor dancers 18 and under).

A website has been constructed to disperse the survey http://www.cwu.edu/~bruhniiic/IrishDanceSurvey/HomePage.html

Reasonable and appropriate safeguards have been used in the creation of these web-based surveys to maximize the confidentiality and security of your responses. Participants cannot be identified through this survey¯ directly, demographically or statistically. No contact information or direct response is requested on the survey.

I am hoping for your assistance in obtaining the information needed to conduct this research. With your assistance we can better identify and refine the training tools and techniques to help create stronger and healthier dancers.

Thank you for your time.

Date Posted: 13:36:01 09/06/07 Thu

Hi - I have had sesamoiditis (pain around the big toe joint) for over a year and a half now. I have been to many physiotherapists but most of them have told me there is not much you can due except from ice my foot. I have orthotics, got a bone scan when the paint initially started to ensure it was not a fracture - which the scan said it wasn't, and have tried taking breaks from dance - the most recent one being approx. 3 weeks. These breaks have not helped my sesamoiditis at all. I generally keep dancing but enventually my foot is very sore and I feel that my big toe flexibility is very minimal (often necessary for being high on your toes)! I have tried going to physio very regularly which helps a bit but this practice grows very expensive. I also have shin splints which one physio thought may be related to the sesamoiditis as the tendon which becomes inflamed with sesamoiditis continues to run up the calf and tightness here could cause pain in both areas. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions of how to help - asides from having surgery. Thanks alot!!

Hey,
I have been suffering from a very painful heel for the past few months. I dont know how to describe the type of pain but after each dancing class i can hadrly walk on it and the next day is the same. If I hold my leg up and face my toes to the floor the pain is unbelievable!!! (this occurs at any time!!) Also, if I have walked around for a hour or so i end up limping!
Does anyone else experience this or does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks

Please sign the online petition to save grounds of Tara! Visit: http://www.petitiononline.com/Temair/petition.html . People from any country can sign!


Here's what the petition says:

"To: An Taoiseach, The Irish Prime Minister
I wish to protest the planned M3 motorway through the ancient grounds of Tara. As you are aware, expert archaeologists in Ireland and internationally have pointed out that Tara is not just constituted by the actual hill, but also by the surrounding landscape, which is extraordinarily rich in archaeological monuments. This is precisely the area the planned M3 will cut through, only 1 km from the hill itself.

You are also no doubt aware that the Tara landscape is recognised as a site of not only Irish, but world importance. In particular, it holds a significant place in European cultural heritage. I therefore believe that the Irish Government has a duty to act as the respectful custodian of Tara, and all other ancient Irish archaeological sites, and to protect them for posterity and for the appreciation of present and future citizens of not just Ireland, but of all the world.

I ask you to personally intervene in this issue, and to see to it that one of the alternative routes available for the M3 motorway is chosen instead. I ask you to ensure that Tara remains completely undisturbed and that it is treated with the respect due to both a national and international cultural treasure, "

Thank you for your help!

While visiting London, don't forget these popular attractions. If you have always
dreamed of visiting London and seeing the sights, you may have wondering what
to do when you get there. There is so much to see and do in London when visiting

weeks? Finding the tourist attractions that fit your agenda can be simplified
by using this list of some of the top hot spots for tourists visiting London.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Obviously, there is much more to London
than what is listed here. These are just the essentials to touring one of the
oldest cities in the world. Top Museums To See While Visiting London
First on our list is the National Gallery. It houses one of the greatest collections
of European paintings. If you are familiar with Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt
or Van Gogh, this museum houses those collections and several others from famous
artists. There are literally thousands of exhibits to see and it could take
days to see it all. Special guided tours and holiday events make visiting extra
fun. To get there, just ask to visit Trafalgar Square and walk from there. This
museum is often considered the number one place to see while visiting London.
Another great spot is the Natural History Museum. Kids dig the dinosaur exhibits.
Not to be missed is the earthquake simulator and an elephant bird egg. This
museum is interactive, educational and rewarding for anyone with a curious mind.
Located on Cromwell Road, this museum is great for families.
London isn't just a great place
to visit the hundreds of museums; you can also take a peek at some of its most
favorite landmarks. London is well
known for its palaces and other historical buildings that allow visiting and
tours. One of the most highly visited buildings in the London
area is Buckingham Palace. It gives you the opportunity to see the Royal Throne
Room, Ballroom and more on it's tour. Don't forget the world famous changing
of the guards. Also, the Palace gardens are exquisite for anyone who likes to
see a little green. You won't want to forget your camera.



The Tower of London, a highly recommended place for anyone visiting the city,
offers tours throughout most of the year. This tower began its life in 1078,
when William the Conqueror first ordered its construction. The tower itself
has been the location of palaces, prisons and even a zoo. Learn of its history
by taking a free guided tour of this most famous tower, home of the Crown Jewels
of England. The Rest Of The Best To See While Visiting London If looking for
an experience you'll never forget, London offers its unique London Dungeon.
This frightening tour offers an image of London in its most deadliest and frightening
times. This fun adventure let's you explore the Great Plague, Jack the Ripper
and more killer fun. For a family vacation, London offers its visitors a fantastic
zoo. The London Zoo offers exotic animals, tiny and strange bugs and loads of
fun for guests of any age. With over 650 animals on display, you won't want
to miss this adventure. Admission also includes exquisite gardens, exceptional
architecture and fine art exhibits. Whatever sort of attractions you crave,
London offers some of the best in the world. When you book a trip, remember
the top picks but also invent your own adventure while visiting London, England.


We run a High-Class escort agency and it’s been a good number of years since
we first launched the London escorts
agency Bond & Mayfair web site. Originally we weren’t based on the
web at all, business has always been booming and all we had to do is rely on
adverts in magazines such as What’s On etc…good advertising is partly
what we needed to do. Times have changed but in fact for the better in many
ways as we are now the most recognised and respected escort agency in the UK.


To have a successful London escorts
agency you need to put in long hours with a lot of determination and dedication.
This is the minimum effort you need to actually stay in business in this industry,
a lot of people will try to bring you down and try to make you look small. They
think they know everything that there is to know but really and truly they don’t
know much at all, these are the ‘Bedroom Boyz’.


Looking at the industry from a distance it is getting much better as more and
more people are beginning to realise that acquiring cheap service from a so
called high-class London escort
agency is not always the right choice. Most of the time they get burnt.


Bond & Mayfair will at all times strive to provide the best value for you
and we constantly keep a perfect blend of old world service at the same time
keeping modern demands and comforts as high priority.


There are many others just likes us that are trying very hard to keep things
nice, clean, friendly and professional but the list is now beginning to grow
endlessly and only the best are being remembered.

My daughter sprained her ankle -- again. Sports medicine doctor saw her, did stressed x-rays, and stated she could dance on it for the Oireachtas. He then added that the trainer at the dance studio should tape it before competitions. She attends a very traditional dancing school, with a wonderfu TCRG, but no trainer (laugh!) Any suggestions on how we should tape her ankle -- she's 17, champ level.

So, I got my foot x-rayed and I have 3 stress fractures in my right big toe. This was back in the last week of April 2006. I've had important performances and competitions ever since and can only give it a rest in between the competitions and performances. I still have the same amount of pain, therefore I don't think they healed after the full months I set out. I do not want to go back to the doctor until after the Oireachtas because I'm afraid they will brace or cast it and I won't be able to dance at all. So, until the Oireachtas I was wondering if anyone had an suggestions of what to do because I was wrapping it up but it hurt it even more when I danced. (It only hurts when I dance.)

To all injured dancers,
Get real!!If you're injured, you wait until you are healed before you even consider coming back dancing. I love dancing to almost an obsessive level. At the height of my competition days, I had recurring injuries spanning FOUR YEARS as I came back early on a serious injury. After a while, parents, teachers, dancing friends began to believe it was all in my head, and I suffered a huge blow to my confidence as a dancer, and as a person. It ended up that I could no longer perform on-stage even if I was at my best in practice. At one point, a physio told me I would be in a wheelchair by the age of 20 if I kept up dancing(on injuries). I have found a new niche in dancing teaching as you have a lot less dancing to do but I take the dancer's twinges, aches and pains seriously. Even so, I am now 21, broke a bone in my foot dancing recently, and have been largely immobile for the last 5 weeks, another 3 to go. I can't do a thing,not to mind dancing. It might be the love of your life but if it ends up inhibiting you from embracing life in general, you will resent yourself for not having the sense to hold back when your body is clearly telling you to slow down, or to stop. Pay heed or pay the price.

My daughter is an 11-year old open dancer who has not been able to dance for the last 6 months due to sever's disease, sesamoidtis and a fracture in the 5th metatarsal. At this point, it is only the 5th metatarsal in both of her feet that is bothering her (the fracture healed months ago), but there is still pain. Does anyone have any ideas of some type of orthodic or support that can be used successfully in their soft AND hard shoes? Any help would be so appreciated.

My shins are absolutely killing me when I dance. It's so painful that I can't practice, or else I'm on the floor in tears. I hate not being able to practice because I'm moving up to prelim and my stamina is lacking. Sometimes it hurts to walk, go upstairs, jumping (omg, jumping kills me). It's also sensitive to direct pressure. Anti-inflammatorys don't help. I had it x-rayed the other day and nothing's broken.

Are shin splints usually this painful?

I have been diagnosed with sesamoiditis and have been waiting almost 18 months for it to heal. The orthopedist said my only option is removing the sesamoid bone. He doesn't really recommend it because of the complications which could arise. Please, I need everyone to write back with your experience so I can make a decision. Everything I've read says don't do it. I presently only have pain when I dance. Thanks

I'm starting up Irish dancing again after 4 years off. I have extremely weak ankles - I can roll and sprain them really easily - not good. Any suggestions for prevention? Taping? Elastic ankle brace? I really don't want to start up again with a sprained ankle. Know any exercises for strengthening weak ankles? Thanks! :)

My dd has tendonitis in both feet/ankles off the outer metatarsals. Her Ortho has suggested cortizone shots. My daughter is resisting as she is needle phobic. She has been living with the pain for over a year now. Does anyone have any experience with this?

My dd fractured a sesamoid in her foot before New Year's 2005. She has been to the doctor, had 5 weeks off, and was told after a final xray that she could begin gradually dancing in dance sneakers. She is experiencing twinges and a bit of pain at times when standing bare footed but not necessarily in demipointe, in yoga class, etc. She wants it feel like it used to before the fracture, but is this realistic? Has anyone any experience to share re: how long before it feels "normal"? Is the referrent pain and periodic twinges to be expected with the resumption of her dancing? thanks for any input!

I was wondering if anyone has had similar pain as I am trying to play dr.as our dr.appointment is not until friday and wondered if my daughter should not dance or put weight on it until seem by dr.
She has had sudden pain in her knee occasionally 3-4 times.for 3months but it comes suddenly and before you can get the ice pack ready it's gone.Then the other day it happened and the pain lasted 1hr.and she couldn't put anyweight on it and within an hour with advil and ice she was dancing again with no pain, then tonight at class she had slight pain when swinging her legup so sat out for 5 minutes and the pain was gone again.Does anyone know what may be going on in her knee so I have an idea before i see the dr.

Like a fool, I have been dancing with an extremely painful and periodically locking knee, for 6 weeks, only to discover today that I have a meniscus tear - which I understand will require some type of surgery. Timing couldn't be worse and knowing the long waiting lists for MRI's or surgical bookings, I'm almost positive that my impatience will result in my continuing to dance, regardless of the pain. Has anyone ever had this type of injury and/or had it repaired? What type of healing time was required? Was the leg able to withstand the same impact afterwards? Yes, I'm sure the specialist will be able to answer these questions but sometimes personal experiences can offer more insight.
Thanks.

My daughter landed wrong on a jump 2 weeks ago. We went to a foot orthopedic and she has a slight fracture of her growth plate. He also said it wasn't a very bad fracture and even dancing on it shouldn't impact her growth. He said 2 weeks rest.
We are at 2 weeks. It just stopped hurting when pressure applied 2 days ago. It hasn't hurt while walking for a little less than a week.
She plans on starting to ease back to dancing this evening. Our big question is whether she should compete on Sunday. Our plan is to take it day by day and see how it feels and how her dancing looks. A competition is not much actual dancing but they are trying to win and dancing their best. We are really struggling with the level of risk. World Championships are 3 weeks from today. Thus, a competition would be great practice but not if it's too soon to be jumping.

What is your opinion on the competition? Is there some insert that could add extra cushion? Would that be a good idea?

PAIN!

I've been having this really bad pain on the inside ball of the foot. Pain runs right along the outside and up behind the big toe. Hurts most painful when just starting exercises and when dancing hardshoe. I am able to stand pretty vertical from the ball of my foot and still pull toe to my toes but OUCH! Taking off and land jumps is also very painful and effects my balance. I've noticed I've begun changing how I walk and dance. I think it's called "stippling" when you go up on th ball of the foot and lean out twards the smaller toes easing the pressure on the inside ball and big toe. This problem is effecting my heavy Oireachtas trainning and cuts my practice time in half.
I've tried ice and elevation. Also heat (heat helps sometimes).
Please if anmyone has any idea what this is all about and how I can fix it fast, please advise.

OK, hope someone out there may have some info. My daughter is an open champion dancer. Has had juvenile rheumatoid arthritis for many yrs (she is currently in remission). She has broken 4 bones in the past 3 yrs. She most recently came out of a cast from and ankle fracture. When she went back to dance she experienced some knee pain(same leg as the ankle fracture)for the 1st couple of lessons. Last night she could not dance her hardshoe because of the knee pain. I brought her home and noticed some pretty bad swelling in her knee. The pain is where one that has Osgood's Schlater disease is, but the swelling is around the knee itself. I have an ortho appt, but I wonder if any of you that have had ankle fractures have had knee issues immediately after you were able to dance. Thanks a bunch for reading and any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hello All,

I just had a partial sesamoidectomy (they removed the little bone under my big toe and left the other sesamoid) in July and I am about 6 weeks now in a walking boot. The Physical therapist has had me working on pointing my toe and we are making great progress. My question is has anyone else had this surgery done? How long was your recovery? Realistically I realize my chances for getting back into soft shoe dances is going to be a challenge; however, I think my hard shoe work will be doable eventually. Anyone out there have any experience with sesamoiditis and sesamoidectomies? Thanks!!!!
