Howdy, gang!
Do any of you know what it means to "torque" your knee? Well, without getting all scientific on ya, I'll just say that it means that the bones sort of "pop" out of place.
So, a little over two weeks ago, I was doing Rhythmic Step, and hubby was trying to talk to me (doesn't he know not to do that???), and I sort of stepped down wrong. I felt pain in my ankle so I stopped working out. Within five minutes, my ankle was so sore that I couldn't put any weight on it. But it wasn't swollen or bruised or anything. It felt like the bones of my ankle sort of "crossed" or something.
Well, amazingly enough, within two hours the pain was gone and I was able to walk around with very little discomfort in my ankle. For a couple of days, though, I just felt weird aches up and down my leg and into the sole of my foot. Then the pain started in my knee. It felt like pressure or something. It would come and go, just like the aches throughout my leg and foot. I tried working out, but the longer I worked out, the worse my knee felt. So, I had to stop. For over two weeks, I've had these intermittent leg cramps and aches, and my knee has been too sore to exercise.
I went to my chiro twice last week and he adjusted me a couple of times, and it felt better for a while, but got worse again. This weekend, the pain in my knee got worse, so I went back to my chiro today. My regular doctor was off, but the owner of the clinic was available. He's older and has seen a lot more than my regular doctor - and he's adjusted me on few occasions. I told him everything, and he said, "You've torqued your knee." A few pops and twists later, and I was all fixed up...a little sore under the circumstances, but fixed up nonetheless. He actually adjusted my ankle (I DID have a bone out in my ankle, and it popped loudly back in place), then worked up and adjusted my knee, then my lower back. He finished with my neck.
AAAAAHHHHHH!
If any of you have pains in your feet, knees, legs, or back, and you don't have a good chiropractor, you need to get one!! Both of mine are lifesavers when it comes to my exercising.

...For as long as I remember my knees have gotten locked up on occasion and I move them a particular way and hear a pop and they are always better. (like cracking your knuckles). I am a distance runner and the only knee pain I have ever had was from my Illiotibial band. Very happy your knee is better...
