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.

Well be careful with the steroid shots they can weaken certain things like tendons and make you more suseptible to another injury. Since they are feeling a little better I would try natural things like chondroitin. Its supposed to help. I hope you continue to get better.
