  1. That sounds like the best option - thanks.

     

    I'm assuming my current username will already be taken but that going back to the apostrophe will cause problems.

    If this is the case, would you re-inserting the apostrophe into my current username allow me to select my current username (without the apostrophe) - if that makes sense?

     

    Sorry for all the hassle.

    I've changed it. Let me know if it helps (I recommending clearing cookies and cache again just to be sure).

    Thank you - but unfortunately not.

     

    I even used ccleaner to completely wipe any opera data and tried a browser i'd never used before - microsoft edge, and tried a broswer on my work pc (to which I'm remotely connected) that i'd never used for villa talk - chrome.

    Still the same login problem, still gives an error if i try and link to my twitter account but weirdly,  it now accepts my password to get into the account security section.

  3. I don't have a smart phone . The only one of those I have is twitter - I tried to link it in settings but it said an error occurred.

    Don't worry for now, I think I won't be posting that regularly anyway.

    I've been surviving on bread, apples and oats as I've been unable to get any other non perishable food like rice and pasta because the shops are completely sold out and all the delivery slots are fully booked up online, I've managed to order some quinoa from an health store but that's going to take two to three weeks to arrive. In a couple of days I'm going to run out of food so will have no choice but to go out and get some provisions.

    You are allowed to go out and get food!

    I'd personally like to see Jack do something positive, like become an nhs volunteer for a few weeks, restore some faith and actually help the cause.

    Conor McGregor (who I still don't care for) recently donated 1 million euros to Irish Hospitals to fight covid-19 - that would be 10 weeks wages for Jack.

    See the usual faux OTT outrage and hyperbole has returned .... Too many snowflakes taking things a bit too personally is my opinion on the matter... Guy is douche has said sorry and will get the correct punishment deemed by the club .. End of the story and we move on . Some of this talk of jail, comparing the spread of covid-19 to murder and stripping him of the captaincy until all the facts are out is bemusing and also worrying to a degree...

  7. Ever since I joined this site over a year ago, I have had the following problem:

    Whenever I return to the site, I am logged out.

    When I try to log in again, it says my password is incorrect.

    The only way for me to get back in again is to reset my password.

    I have tried deleting the internet cache and cookies and this doesn't help.

    I have encountered this problem on internet explorer, firefox and opera.

     

    Edit: I've just tried to go into the "account security" section under account settings, which requires a password, and it even says my password/username combo is wrong then, even though I'm already logged in.

     

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Yes, seems shin splints is just an old tern for MTSS (Medial tibial stress syndrome); unless I'm missing something.  Although I certainly accept that MTSS is poorly defined, I don't think it's just "a collective term for lower leg pain", but may be more accurate as a colloquial term for a widespread pain in the shin.

    "Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) is an enigmatic condition with confusing terminology, the term often being used interchangeably with shin splints. It is suggested that MTSS and shin splints be used as generic rather than diagnostic terms. On account of variable definitions, the reported incidence rate varies from 4 to 35% in military and athletic populations. Broadly, it represents exertional lower leg pain centred on the posteromedial tibial border and being diffuse/linear (greater than 5 cm) rather than focal. Presentations of acute shin splints should be regarded as bone stress injuries until proven otherwise and not treated as periostitis with anti-inflammatory modalities/drugs. Chronic presentations are more likely in females, those with a running history less than 5 years, increased body mass index, larger calf girth*, increased hip rotation, standing foot pronation and a history of orthotics use, MTSS or stress fracture. Muscle hernia, stress fracture and chronic exertional compartment syndrome should be ruled out. The differential diagnosis also includes radiculopathy, nerve entrapment syndromes and the possibility of an accessory muscle should not be overlooked. There are few randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that have studied treatment and prevention and those available suggest that rest is probably as beneficial as any other form of intervention. Prevention may be afforded by either shock absorbing insoles or more formal orthotics. The pathophysiology would seem to be related to diffuse bone stress with resultant periostalgia. Thus rest and the possible use of compressive splints are advised with a graduated return to running activities once risk factors have been addressed."

    Well you aren't missing something and you (sort of) are. Yes, it is technically an old term for MTSS, but as the article I quoted explains, it has unfortunately been frequently given out as a diagnosis to anyone with shin pain with little effort to diagnose the cause of that shin pain - e.g. compartment syndrome vs MTSS vs tibial stress fracture.  So it has incorrectly become a collective term for shin pain - and hence, I suspect, why so many people on here have either been diagnosed with "shin splints" or know someone who has. The reason it matters is that these conditions, their consequences, and their treatment are different. For example, if you carry on playing with MTSS or chronic compartment syndrome, it will just hurt. Carry on playing with a stress fracture of the middle third of the anterior tibial cortex and you will suddenly find your foot pointing at your arse.

    I think you're wrong,. Shin splints is not  "just a collective term for lower leg pain"

    This paper explains that as far back as the 80s, it was recommended that the term "shin splints" be discontinued.

     

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4573502/

     

    "In the late 1960s and during the 1970s, advancements in nuclear medicine techniques led to the development of Triple Phase Bone Scintigraphy (TPBS), or nuclear bone scans, as a diagnostic tool. The technique enables inflammation and increased bone metabolism to be visualised after injection of a radioisotope and could be used in conjunction with a clinical diagnosis for positive identification of MTSS, or shin splint syndrome as it was then still called. However, despite these advances, the term “shin splints” was still being used as a generic expression for general pain in the tibia and for various lower limb injuries such as compartment syndrome. For this reason, the term “MTSS” was coined in the early 1980s[6] and was subsequently adopted by nuclear medicine experts[7,8] as well as some researchers and clinicians.

    In the 1980s, a number of nuclear medicine studies led to more specific diagnostic criteria for MTSS. This included identifying the appearance of MTSS on nuclear bone scans, which consisted of an elongated uptake of radionuclide, visually seen as a “double stripe” pattern, differing from the localised fusiform pattern characteristic of a TSF[7-10]. This was later followed by studies where tibial stress injuries were identified and classified using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which has the advantage of depicting periosteal and bone marrow oedema[11,12]. However, despite these studies and more recent research into the aetiology of the injury, MTSS, but more commonly the term “shin splints”, is sometimes still used as a generic expression for tibial pain; however, this is gradually changing as the mechanisms of the injury are further understood."

  10. I don't anticipate that I will post very often but occasionally I would like to, and this forum seems to be a much nicer atmosphere than the other Villa forum I visit.
