I Had Knee Surgery

I've been having some knee pain in both of my knees lately, especially the left from compensation while my right knee was healing.

oh boy.

Well I went to the doctor today and I have two problems. Bursa. Minor arthritis. And bad traction in my knees. But my meniscus is doing great. Yay - happy dance.

I had a shot in each leg for my bursa. It stung, then it burned. There was lots of deep breathing and " OH GOD" but nothing too too bad.

I HATE needles lol so after all that anxiety I felt a little tired.

And for the rest, I told him that I wanted to wait and try natural methods.

And ........ I can still walk and stuff. And I may have IT band issues going on. Still researching on what to do for that. But now I can get back to exercise. yeah

I'm glad I went to the doctor and had it checked out.

I had knee surgery they had to do something about the meniscus recovered ok
Recently broke my ankle and although its out of plaster and all is so weak and I can only walk slow going up and down stairs, going from sitting to standing position can hurt also so can putting on shoes.

The knee surgery was quite a while ago and healed up no probs with the broken ankle it came out of plaster 2-3 weeks ago and at first putting pressure on it hurt because was so weak.
Right now its still very weak but its slowly getting better but no quick fix sadly only time heals it.

yes indeed. It takes time, otherwise it'll take forever to heal. but at least you're young, young people heal faster. so you've got youth on your side.

My ankle was very weak but was slowly making a recovery but yesterday I did alot of walking around and was busy on my feet most the day today woke up and can barely walk on it so made it worse
I just wish this would get better I am usually an active person and run marathons and not used to taking it easy so its frustrating as well as painful

did they give you any ankle strengthening exercises? maybe you can find some on youtube or something. I know its hard and takes freaking forever. But maybe less walking?

Also, maybe some ice and some epsoom salt foot baths are in order for you?
