The exercise routines I'm using are doing some good. Although I'm pain free for 30 minutes to an hour after my exercise, and I can feel that my knee is improving, it's too slow. I've got immediate problems.
Today while I was standing in line, I turned to speak to someone and my right knee buckled. Fortunately, my left leg is almost back to normal, so using 'figure skater reflexes' I was able to stay upright, otherwise I would have had to grab a complete stranger.
And he wasn't cute.
My knee made a really obvious 'snap' when it happened. People turned and stared.
I'm so sorry to hear that your knee's not gotten better. I hope the injections help and enable you to get back on the ice soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm just losing weight - for interest as much as anything, and because I want to look graceful and swan-like on the rink with my (not-so) perfect extensions. And because with the new fast/5:2 diet it actually seems to work and not mess with your life. I've lost ~7 lb so far, and it really hit me when I picked up a large bottle of water, how much weight that really means, and how much extra stress that must be for the knees (mine are also a little dodgy).
