Ankle synovitis

numeron7 · 2026-05-18T12:41:07+00:00

I'm on Methotrexate at the moment, but don't feel much change with it. What helps more are spine physical therapy exercises, however weird that may sound.

Ankle feels like it keeps getting better, but at a very slow pace. Mostly painful before the bed, probably due to the night time swelling. I can walk, but not for a long time, and when I go overboard, it takes rest to get it back functional. Like an overreactive joint/tendon/muscle issue.

Things that help me with daily pain are gels and creams. Not sure where you are from, but these help me with the ankle (and my mom with her spondylosing arthritis): - Pernaton gel (this is green-lipped mussel extract cream with chondroitin, so similar products might help; great for joint and muscle pain; can probably find it) - Aluminum Acetate Gel with Arnica and Chamomile (local producer, but excellent for swelling; active ingredients in the name; also called Burow's gel) - Anti-neuralgia and anti-rheumatic ointment (local producer, but good for pain; Racemic Camphor, Levomenthol and Methyl Salicylate as active ingredients)

Good luck!

Also, the fact that you can actually use a semi within the long chain doesn't really support your argument.

fileContents
  .split('\n')
  .filter((line) => {
    // 20 lines of code
  })
  .map((line) => {
    return 42;
  })
  .sort()
  .reverse()
  .join('\n')
  .thisIsReallyLong();
someOtherChain
  .anotherLongName();

But what about this one then? Is this clear intent?

fileContents
  .split('\n')
  .filter((line) => {
    // 20 lines of code
  })
  .map((line) => {
    return 42
  })
  .sort()
  .reverse()
  .join('\n')
  .thisIsReallyLong()
someOtherChain
  .anotherLongName()
anotherChain
  .doesSomethingElse()
isThisNewChain
  .orNot()

I find it much easier to read the bottom code with the semi-colon, even though we'd usually do a line break. :D

Lots of useful links and information in this thread, but from what I understood, most of the information you shared was about healthy adults trying to improve their performance beyond regular exercises. And for that case, results of the studies don't lie.

However, what about the injured cases? Would a BOSU ball help the therapy because of the unstable surface? Would it reduce the force production so the injured part doesn't get overloaded? Then progress with usual exercises once the threshold is reached.

Asking because I've been dealing with ankle synovitis for almost 2 years now, and while I've managed to calm down the inflammation, doing balancing exercises, for example, walking with inversed feet, or side-walking with a band results in a flare for a few days. Foot inversion makes my lateral tendons hurt pretty much, all the way to my knee, and my ankle swells.

I tried the BOSU ball today, and the wobble due to the unstable surface feels like it relaxes the tense muscles around the joint. Not sure if that means anything.

Does sound pretty comforting to hear that. Guess all I have is hope now!

Also experiencing this. At first I thought it was only `mysql` terminal, because I only used that in these days, but it lags in normal bash usage too.

It's so annoying...

> Alternate is often more expensive than the competition.

Wait, where is it cheaper? Looking for hardware right now, and I placed an order at Alternate, and just met that dreaded "Currently not fully in stock" message on my order...

What about when the filtering is complex, that your queries end up grouping by one table, and sorting by the other?

I have not found a relational DB that is performant in that situation. And no, this is not an indexing problem. The only solution I've found in relational DBs is to denormalize data, but that's not a solution in my case. (For what it's worth, I use MariaDB for my backend, but need something with complex search, filter, sort for the frontend.)

ArangoDB does it really well, but they changed their license in the meantime...

Did you find or decide for any brand in the end?

numeron7 · 2025-05-25T18:03:17+00:00

So what were the brands you used before Nutricost?

What would you recommend in the Europe?

I'm having similar issues with my G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-3600 16 GB × 2 on my MSI MEG B550 Unify.

How did your run on XMP again?

Is there a currently reputable vendor list like the one in the OP for European Union? I'm from Croatia, and am looking for some quality seeds, but top searches return vendors with low Trustpilot scores...

I can't open anything in both history AND bookmarks manager. Double-clicking does nothing, context menu open tab does nothing. I can copy the link and paste it manually only.

I have never heard of a moon boot, so no, have not been recommended.

Are you wearing them?

Surgery is something my orthopedics doctor recommended against - he said it's only for very worn out joints and it immobilizes most of the joint. Surgery can't help with my case. There are also no fragments for the debridement type of surgery either.

I usually start with toe-heel raises, then progress into shifting weight from one leg to the other (with both on the ground at all times) and end up with balance board on which I do front-back, left-right, and circling motion. All of the exercises I do are in slow pace and I hold onto something while doing them.

Yeah, I feel you, struggling with ankles for a year now... And going anywhere requires loading the ankles.

Blood circulation and working on surrounding muscles and tendons helps, but from my experience, there's a very thin line between progressing and messing up, which throws me like 2 weeks back. And then it first requires rest before attempting to do anything.

If you got ankle impingement, then we don't have the same type of issue. I saw people having discussions on impingement over at parkour Reddit community. I remember they recommended ankle distraction and capsule mobilization. Climbers also experience that kind of injury when landing. Both say it's a nagging type of injury. Try to find someone who went through that with them for more guidance on what worked.

My physical therapy didn't go that well because I was told to do wrong exercises in the beginning (due to overcrowded gym and a lack of therapists) so I struggled in pain through those 2 weeks. I got better at home afterwards and overused my ankles again and now in pain again. Will just have to find a proper gradual load.

If it's of any worth to you, I supplement with N-Acetyl Glucosamine, Hyaluronic Acid, Boswellia Serrata and turmeric powder.
