Hi fellow fitness friends-
I have been having a little knee concern lately and in doing some research have come up with the possibility of Chondromalacia or a slight Menuscus Tear. No swelling or pain, and only slight discomfort after some of my harder workout days. Usually the discomfort is associated with stairs and may only last a day.
Anyway, I am trying (desperately!) to focus on low impact cardio (walking, ski machine - boring!, treadmill - boring, etc...), floor work for the legs and just regular upperbody work and yoga/pilates.
Does anyone have any experience with this type of injury? Length of recovery? Workout suggestions? Advice of any kind is welcome.
Thanks,
Nancy
