no knee brace!

[lesliemarie]

WOOHOOO I did step blast without my knee brace for the fist time!! and hardly any pain! of course I baby knees in the workout and I take breaks often as not to hurt myself again. I also need to get the rest of the series so I can have a new rotation as I don't do the step everyday, I also ride a bike for half an hour everynight as the physical therapist says that will help the cartlidge in my knees a ton!

Hi Leslie - great news!! What type of knee brace were you using, and how long have you had knee problems? If you remember, I had arthroscopic surgery two months ago and I still can't do any high impact workouts for now (my doctor says it's totally out of the question to return to stepping or kickboxing)and I refuse to accept that I won't be able to do high impact, so I'm thinking that if the brace you're using helped you - well you know the rest.

Thanks in advance for any info on the brace.

Take care,

Iris

I just used the most expensive ones at Wal-mart but my doctor wanted me to get one from the physical therapist but they said I didn't need to spend that much money since the one I was using was helping, I just had cartlidge trouble, in other words they called "jumpers Knee" over use trouble. I also take 2000 mg of glucosamine. and I used glucosamine rub for the knee.
