The knee has been a bit weird recently; I'm not sure how to describe it. Weak. Feeble. Hollow. Aching. Sore. Tired. Just walking around the house today it felt wonky, and I was careful how I was moving. I wasn't looking forward to spin class.
Lots of good stuff in class, but I couldn't do any of it. My left leg started to hurt and I realized it was doing all the work, what little work was being done. It's like I had no strength to put into the pedals. Max rpm before things started squeaking was 110 rpm. One leg drill got actively painful very quickly so I stopped. It hurt where the knee cap meets up with the quads. Needless to say, not a lot of fun tonight. I was on the bike for 1.25 hrs, but it barely counts as aerobic exercise.
I'm glad all this is happening now, on the off season. I've got to believe the various therapies will make a difference and things will start getting better.
:( Hope the knee heals soon. Glad you're staying positive.
ReplyDeleteOw! You have certainly been doing your homework in regard to your knee woes. I'm hoping that all this stuff will start clicking (in the right way) and your knee will get stronger and heal up nicely.
ReplyDeleteOh no!! Hope you are able to find out the cause of your knee woes. Sounds like you have a good team to help you out.
ReplyDeleteI'm suffering a similar ailment. Let me know if you get it figured out. As you say: "Good thing its the off season."
ReplyDeletehmmm sounds like runners knee. Hope you get it sorted out. What worked for me is wall squats, to strengthen the quad going into the knee. My chiropractor at the time prescribed them. It took time though. Good thing it's the off season. Take care.
ReplyDeletegood luck with recovery. Its a great time in the year to rest up tho.
