I Have a Bad Knee

After my knee surgeries my left knee is the bad knee.

I have bursitis in both knees but the right one has responded BETTER to a steroid shot.

I couldn't exercise much do to my leg pain. Apparently I have IT Band Syndrome and a hamstring strain.

Apparently, hamstrings take a very L O N G time to heal. Joy. So I have some stretches and exercises and foam rolling to do. Along with even more physical therapy.

Good thing is in time I can go back to my walking workouts. Yay!

And tomorrow I'm off for some heating pads and ice pads.

I broke my ankle a while back had the plaster off about a month now and just when I thought things were getting better I woke the other day and nearly fell when I got out of bed because I just cols not put any pressure on it at all

I got some anti biotics from the doctor to be a pain killer but he wants me to see an orthopaedic doctor because he thinks I might have hurt the ligaments or something.
says maybe `i started trying to be to active to soon and my body had number itself to pain so there was like nothing to say slow down your doing to much

Look into the ColdCure knee wrap. It is by far the best knee wrap I have found. Good fit and high quality. I used it for bursitis. Be sure to use after activity and after PT. Just a suggestion. I was really happy with mine and still use it when I get a little bit of pain. I don't want to ignore the pain that can cause the bursitis again. www.kingbrand.com/Knee-Ice-Packs-and-wraps.php?REF=34PV3

I've had to do the same physical therapy for ITBS and stained hamstrings plus a bonus tear of the quad muscle. it's a slow process but it does get better! please don't rush it. follow your body's cues.
