Lately I've been taking some trips, some vacation, some not. Last week I headed down to San Antonio to help my brother prep his house for sale..... it had a few issues. Anyway, I had some baseboards to cut and nail to the wall, also a couple of toilets to install, so I had some knee time..... certainly more than I'm used to as I work in an office 4 days a week.
It's been a few days, and my left knee doesn't like to bend..... and it doesn't like to straighten.
It really doesn't bother me to walk..... once my knee gets over just having to bend/straighten 'cuz I just got up from the chair!
I guess leg curls, squats and leg extensions are out for awhile...

That sucks bro, I am sure your knee will be able to rebound quickly. Let it get better, and dont aggrivate it.

The knee IS doing better at this time. The swelling seems to have gone down.... while it still "sounds" loose..... it's not snappin' and poppin' as much. I may try a light leg workout this weekend, or I'll wait another week... we'll see.

Personally I would try some light training and see how it feels. If it hurts then ya give it another week, and if not then slowly work back up over a few weeks to where you were before you went all handyman on it. |

So, I DIDN'T try it last weekend... I did give it a try this morning.
Leg extensions - no problem
Light front squats - not bad at all
Leg curls - no friggin' way
The back of my knee didn't like it at all. So, more ointment, for the swelling, and ice I guess.
Any thoughts on how hard to hit the thighs while this is going on?

Sorry to break this to you Bob my man" but it sounds like fluid on the knee. The ONLY way out of the pain on this my friend is "drainage' (YA' as in a big friggin needle) Tell them you want to be sedated because the local ans. just sucks as this IS a painful procedure!

If it's still bugging ya over the next couple of weeks then go get it checked out. You can also try doing some cycling on the stationary bike and see if that loosens things up a bit.

Okay, had the knee checked out.
Thankfully it is only sprained.
A little bursitis and the tendons on both sides,
especially the inside, are irritated.
I do/will continue with the stationary bike,
but I'll have to forego the leg workouts for a few more weeks.

I know I always say exactly the same, but in this case I'm particularly keen on my advice since I have knee problems as well. Get yourself an appointment with the orthopedist. If you have a knee problem, doing the wrong excercise can bring huge future problems. The earlier you start with a diagnose and a decent therapy (not alfalfa ) the better thing will work out. Cheers, Camilo |
