Muscle cramps meet "THE STICK"

I have mentioned how I get MAJOR muscle cramp in my calves when I workout without eating a banana, right? Well, it's true! My body is weird, and needs the quickly avaliable potassium released in the banana in order to maintain proper muscle function. (or at least that's what I THINK is going on...)

I mentioned this to Wendy (my PT) and she suggested I get "the Stick"... has anyone ever heard of this massage tool? It looks AMAZING! I think it's EXACTLY what my freaky little calf muscles need to help break up all that lactic acid and what not from exercising. I got so excited when I found it on EBAY (for $25.00) that I bought one!!! The 17" travel Stick. I will definitely have a review once I get it and try it out a few times. My sore muscles can barely wait!!! PS... the website says it works GREAT for Fibromyalgia sufferers too!!! www.thestick.net/awards.htm#fms

Sarge usues a plain old wooden rolling pin that I think he got at the dollar store. He loves it, he will lie down on the floor, and I'll roll the heck out of him.

That is a funny visual!
The more I think about it, anything round and long (heck, even a wooden dowel!) would work!
I was just so excited when I saw this gadget that I had to get one... my sore muscles bought it for me! LOL
