DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a reasonably fit, 61-year-old male who exercises several times a week by walking and the use of Nautilus equipment. I am 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weigh 170 pounds. I recently ruptured my Achilles tendon while jogging across a parking lot to my car in a futile attempt to stay dry during one of our frequent rain storms. How could this happen? I wasn't doing anything I haven't done many times before. I regularly use the calf machine and lift almost the full stack of weights. I didn't fall. My orthopedic surgeon suggests old age, bad luck or sin. I had participated in a clinical trial of cholesterol-lowering drugs and have read there might be a correlation between statin use and tendon damage. How can I keep this from happening again? I am not ready to resign myself ...
ANSWER: Tendons connect muscles to bones so the muscles can move those bones. The Achilles tendon attaches the calf muscles to the heel bone. It's the thicke...

You can't become very strong just by exercising. To strengthen a muscle, you have to exercise it against enough resistance to make it burn and hurt. The burning damages the muscle and you feel sore on the next day. Then when the muscle heals, it is stronger than before it was damaged. When the soreness goes away, you are ready to take another workout that makes the muscle burn. But muscles heal only when you let them rest. If you put great pressure on a muscle that is already sore from a previous workout, it cannot heal and will tear. Then you are injured and will not be able to lift at all. The older you are, the longer it takes for muscles to recover between workouts.

Webb Taylor pushed a length of white upholstery thread through the eye of a sizable needle. He tugged it through the wood forming the outline of a butterfly's wing, but it snagged on a tiny dot of hardened glue. When the thread finally emerged, he tied it off in two spots around the delicate creature's bamboo bones. He pulled tightly, and the butterfly bent until it was bowed. "Have you ever broken any doing this, Daddy?" asked his daughter, Pamm Forbes. "Oh, yes, I hear this one cracking," Taylor said casually. The bamboo skeleton of the miniature kite - which measured only a few inches from wing tip to wing tip - cracked a bit, but Taylor wasn't worried that it wouldn't fly. An occasional break or tear can happen when he's crafting one of his delicate creations. Precision has its...

Dear Dr. Gott: I wonder why you didn't mention Osgood-Schlatter disease in your column about growing pains. Our son, who is now 38, had this condition when he was 12 and had to have both legs (one at a time) put into a cast for two months. Dear Reader: Osgood-Schlatter causes a painful lump below the kneecap (where the tendon attaches to the shinbone) in some children. It results from growth spurts during puberty and typically occurs in children who participate in sports that involve jumping, running and swift changes in direction.
...Children have growth plates at the ends of bones, which are made of cartilage. These growth plates ...
