Re: Re: Knee Pain- OT (long)

[Guest guest]

annoying when there is popping isnt it? I dont warm up or cool down before

excercising and I realized tonight that when I do the elliptical and bounce a

little, i am landing without bending my knee. Can we say " STUPID " ? I just want

to find out what the symptoms are of calcium problems too so I know what I could

be dealing with. Its really painful and I should not have worked out tonight.

The pain radiates too- SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Vickie,

While my knees has never seemed to progress to the stage that yours

is presently... I have had knee popping for many years -- especially

when I wear any kind of heel. If I walk extended periods in boots or

heels my knee aches... so I try not to! BTW, knee popping was with me

pre-DS... I was hoping that losing 100 pounds would help... nope!

Hope you find solutions soon!

hugs, cindylee
