  • As a kid we went to the University of Michigan hospital every six months for my brother.

    One visit we go to the cafeteria for lunch as usual, and there were signs everywhere warning that microwave ovens were in use!

    My mom asked one of the staffers what the signs were for and she told us that it turns out these new devices could affect pacemakers in a real bad way.

    “We found out the hard way when a few patients went into cardiac arrest right here in the cafeteria! Took them awhile to connect the dots…”

    “Oh my god,” my mom said! “Did you lose anyone?”

    “Oh no honey…there ain’t no better place to have one of those than in a hospital!”

    It would be years before we got one at home, and nobody we knew had a pacemaker.






  • On leg day do you stretch first, then lift? On walking day do you stretch as well? If that’s “Yes” and “No” try the same warmup on walking day.

    Do you have different shoes you wear for each type of activity? Shouldn’t be shock/impact stressors, but if so try wearing the same pair for walking to see if that helps.

    Do you have the same drinking pattern during both? Just because you’re not sweating during your waking doesn’t mean that you’re using up fluids. Especially if you’re outside in a much warmer environment vs. inside a moist, humid gym.

    Doesn’t sound like blood clots nor (shin) splints, as those are deeper. Nor does it sound like allergies, as that’d be on the skin, from say your laundry detergent, or any grooming lotions and potions.
