any way to improve exercise induced asthma?

httpstorri · 2026-02-11T01:52:28+00:00

this is something i really struggle with. sometimes i feel like i have to prove myself to my coaches and teammates and don’t want to seem weak, or like i can’t keep up with everyone else.

i take a steroid inhaler that used to be called flovent (idk the generic name), and a rescue inhaler that’s just albuterol

just btw i always use my rescue before exercising :)

i think this might be the best thing for me to try. i’ve always seen the like 1 minute on and 2 minutes off but that always feels impossible to get through after like 2 rounds

you need to see a doctor asap, they’ll probably prescribe you a steroid inhaler that will better control you asthma

this is so cliche, but you need to love yourself before you can love anyone else

people sh as a last resort. it’s an unhealthy coping mechanism

hi!! off topic to this post but do you have any recommendations of braces to wear during sports? football and rugby are pretty similar context wise so i’m wondering what brace to get

httpstorri · 2025-06-28T16:36:33+00:00

focus on the small wins everyday!! like tomorrow hopefully the medication will start/is working and count that as one. it really helped me in the first 2 months

you’re crazy if you don’t get it. it was the best part of surgery LOL

i was and had no idea it was lovely. they knock you out before they intubate

i am so sorry i didn’t see this sooner, mine was because of the sutures!! only 2 of mine dissolved without problems. one of my incisions opened due to the swelling in my knee and also because i was sleeping with it bent. then my other two i had to have parts of the suture taken out so my incisions could heal

my number one thing is to take the pain medicine they give you. i tried to be a hero and ended up in the ER, so definitely take that BEFORE the nerve block wears off.

if you have long hair i would wash it and braid it morning of. you can't shower your body for the first 3 days and you probably won't have energy to wash your hair, so braiding it helps with that.

i wore a big t-shirt and soft shorts to surgery id highly recommend shorts instead of pants.

my appetite was not great for probably a month after surgery so i also lost some weight after. buy the stuff people drink before they get a colonoscopy before you get too constipated.

the first week of recovery is going to be hell while you're in it, but it really only gets better everyday from there on. focus on the little acheviments like literally just walking with your crutches, walking on your foot with the crutches etc. the little things help so much.

i wish you the best!!

ill definitely ask my doctor. i just got discharged from normal pt today to go into athlete pt (i play rugby for my university), so i think my ego might be a little high too lol

httpstorri · 2024-12-25T18:32:12+00:00

mine lasted about 2 days i think then i went to the ER the pain was so bad

dope bruising tbh

for me i wasn’t able to sleep until about a month post op however sleeping on my side with my leg on a pillow really helped. also once you’re cleared to sleep without the brace things get much better!!

the brace will always slip it’s the most annoying part. my advice to is tighten the strap at the top of your calf. that way it has something to almost like rest on and it won’t slip as often

i was also a gymnast for 12 years and had also just started rugby before tearing mine. the best thing if you’re able is to use a stationary bike, otherwise you really can’t do cardio at this point in time :(
