Wonder if anyone on here has experience with knee injuries?
Been having dreadful problems with my knee for the last few months. I can't run anymore at all and prolonged walking leads to numbness then sharp pain the next day. Yesterday I was laid on my back all day and couldn't bend my knee more than about 30 degrees.
It seems to be any kind of twisting motion - so if I'm on my bike and not perfectly straight with my pedalling I feel it. Same with walking - if I don't watch my step I feel it.
Went to the doc's and he said I had "loose" ligaments (medial and lateral) and suggested rhythmic exercise to strength the muscles to help keep my knee straight (walking, cycling, swimming).
Its not worked at all. I do a lot of walking and thats just exacerbating it. I've started wearing a knee brace and that seems to help but don't think its a long term solution - more a short term to get me through my festival next weekend.
I'll be going back to the doc's next week (well week after probably) but wonder if anyone had similar experiences and what worked for them?
Ops, exercises, whatever really! (fortunately I have a good private health policy)
