Blew a knee...

[Freedom]

I tried using peas until the bag broke and I had peas EVERYWHERE!! Now I'm using ice in a ziplock and refreezing it as needed.

Oh boy you REALLY had quite a time! Sorry, but I did enjoy the image of peas everywhere.

I have osteoarthritis in both knees, so I have a little idea of what you are feeling. If the over the counter stuff doesn't help the pain, talk to your doctor for a prescription. Even if it is just till the initial hurting and swelling eases up.

I popped my knee running this morning but no pain. and thought of you .. how's your (one and another) knee?

I've been wondering how they knew it was because of hips?

The phyiotherapist did a bunch of "tests" to determine where the problem came from. I couldn't hold my leg in place when she pushed on it, either leg for that matter. So with more "tests" she determined that my hips muscles are not strong enough. Apparently it is a common thing here with runners. Both knees still hurt but I am noticing an improvement - be it ever so slow.
