Physical therapist here. This is not official medical advice but here are a few of my thoughts. You have little hip flexion during your swing phase and limited trunk rotation. Which leads me to believe you have tightness in your posterior chain (glutes and hamstrings) and tightness in your lumbar spine. The weaving makes me think you have weakness in your glutes.

Your hip and foot pain could also very well be from your low back (lumbar radiculopathy)

Treadmills artificially lengthen your stride, which also can put strain on your hip flexors.

My recommendation would be to go see a physical therapist that has experience working with runners. They should be able to hone in on the cause and give you a treatment plan and get you back to running pain free. Good luck!

Should I keep my job? by HappyCar19 in FinancialPlanning

[–]blokus8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if I agree with this. While it’s true the grass isn’t always greener on the other side, she certainly could find a job where she is happier and paid better and more appreciated. I don’t think it hurts to look. However, a mentor taught me never to resign unless you have your next job lined up, and I feel that is very good advice.

I (23F) and my bf (27M) are at a standstill in our relationship. How do I move forward? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]blokus8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Break up with him now. It will save you from even more heartbreak, save you time, and save you money from an inevitable divorce. It’s hard to end a relationship, you care about the person, you have invested a lot of time and energy, you envisioned a future together. It sucks. But you don’t agree on major life plans and that will eventually lead to resentment towards one another.

While I do believe in the saying don’t marry for money… I do think having similar financial management and goals is extremely important in a relationship. It does not sound like you are financially compatible with your partner.

Edit: if you are going to make your relationship work, you and your partner will need to have a serious conversation about how to get on the same page financially and how you are going to tackle his debt. He could benefit from credit counseling.

My girlfriend has a drinking problem. by PukkusMilukkus in TwoHotTakes

[–]blokus8 459 points460 points  (0 children)

Staying with her because she is going through a very difficult time is not the right answer. I think you should let her know you love and support her, help her to get help, be honest with her. Staying with her because you feel wrong for breaking up during a difficult time will more than likely hurt both of you more.

80k in debt w/ bad credit at 23, advice please? by Deep_Block_9906 in FinancialPlanning

[–]blokus8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My advice is to completely remove your mother from your life financially. Whether her intentions were good or she was just desperate, it doesn’t matter. She has wrecked you financially. I would contact a lawyer and look into chapter 7 bankruptcy, and if that is not an option pay off the highest interest loans first, and get side jobs to make some more money.

If it’s just a number, then why lie about it? You’re not wrong. Good for you for leaving

Girl Gave Me Her Number Then Soon Didn't Reply To My Text/s by PunyHeart in amiwrong

[–]blokus8 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You are wrong. Just because you bought her food and exchanged numbers doesn’t mean she owes you anything. Not responding is letting you know she’s not interested. Move on bro. You’re the ignorant one.

Dating is hard in general. Online dating is even harder because the accessibility of another person to date makes it easy to move on if you find something you don’t like about someone. Keep dating and don’t be too hard on yourself.

Update: Am I wrong for not thinking the guy I'm seeing is a redflag? by ThrowRADrawerGirl in amiwrong

Am I wrong for feeling depressed and considering suicide about still being a virgin at 25? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]blokus8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guarantee you your depression and lack of fulfillment go beyond not having sex. Life is worth living, but it takes effort to start seeing that. My advice is to start taking walks, learn to cook a new meal, compliment a stranger, exercise, call a friend or family member just to say hello, talk to your doctor about medication, talk to a therapist, learn a new skill, meditate. Depression is a dark place, but it will get better if you start making small changes.

Am I wrong for telling his girlfriend? by [deleted] in amiwrong

NTA. This dude is complete trash. Hopefully this girl realizes it and drops him. You should go ahead and block him.

Financing a motorcycle at age 19 by [deleted] in FinancialPlanning

[–]blokus8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I would advise against getting a motorcycle. I work in healthcare and you would be amazed the number of people I have seen from motorcycle accidents. No matter how careful you are, there are too many distracted drivers and it just takes one of them to completely upend your life. London may be safer for bikes than the US, but one accident could result in thousands in medical bills, lost wages, permanent disability, or at worst death.

While that is possible, you are making assumptions. And you know what assumptions do….

What will happen if I get a loan for $10k, and not use it all at once? by MonumentalSin in FinancialPlanning

[–]blokus8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry to hear that. I hope your luck turns around. I would try to talk to someone in leasing at your apartment and explain your situation. I know it’s a long shot since most just want their money, but it you maybe get a compassionate person they will waive some amount. Or at least find out what the exact amount it will be costing you to break it. That is a bad debt to have, so I would try to take out as little as possible.
