Help ,My Knee

[merrybaker]

So two days ago I tweeked my knee . I was just picking up the house when I felt something strange ..real deep in there . Not pain but a strangeness ... I did Imax 1 yesturday not thinking about it . Nothing bothered me while I was working out ... Now this AM its not happy at all ...Yikes I'm scared . It feels kinda like well a rubberband broke in there . It has no give I guess . So I guess I gotta stay off it for a few days ;( ;( .Please cross your fingers for me that rest helps ... I'm scared ... What do you guys think ??? I should do ?

I think that if it doesn't feel better very soon, you should see your doctor. Definitely rest it though.

Oh, Mary I feel for you.

I tweeked my knee and didn't rest it. I ended up having to take a 3 month rest from any cardio.
I did what is called RICE
R: rest
I: ice
C: compression badage
E: elevation

Please, rest it.

Take Care,
Elaine

Make an appointment with an orthopedist, rest it for as long as it takes for the pain to go away, and then, when you go back to step, do it low impact for a while. Unforunately, most women have patellar tilt, and it sets us up for knee problems and so on.
