Sore knee
Hi All
Over the past week I have been on me static bike Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and this morning (Friday) and done 10 miles each time which I regard as going for it. When I woke up this morning I had an almighty pain in my left knee. Any time I try to straiten it I get an excruciating shooting pain and it is swollen. I was wondering if it could be the static bike causing my woe? Has anybody had any similar problems? What is the solution? I am limited to things like exercise bikes, treadmills and elliptical trainers due to a neck injury that stops me for being able to do any weight training. Any help would be appreciated.

When I woke up this morning I had an almighty pain in my left knee. Any time I try to straiten it I get an excruciating shooting pain and it is swollen. I was wondering if it could be the static bike causing my woe? yes. I went to an orthopedic surgeon for a very similar pain issue. xrays were negative, but he didn't do an MRI so I don't know what's going on with the knee. You may have just torn cartilage. Mine healed up well enough, but there's still little twinges of discomfort sometimes. Lots of things can blow out in the knee area... the meniscus, the flimmery-bobs, etc. Surgery is required to fix the more serious issues, and arthrocopic surgery can clean out ragged edges that are causing discomfort. Also, I just started a Glucosamine / Chondriotin pill regime today. 3 pills/day for 3 months, $30. Not sure if it will help, but it shouldn't hurt at least. |

Sore knee
It might be a muscle strain or tear. Ice it, and when you feel better
gradually resume - don't exercise if it hurts. I take glucosamine - which really stopped my knee joint pain. Elliptical trainers are the least knee strain for me. General rule - don't increase your workout by more than 10% in any given week - to avoid injury. "Jamberoo" wrote in message ...

Sore knee
You know, this sounds like my *new* problem. I've done the stationary bike
two times this week to take the pressure off my totally trashed right knee and starting last night I couldn't straighten my left knee without pain...couldn't even walk with a straight leg. Had to hobble around with a bent leg. This I didn't need after a doctor's visit in which I was told to not compete next week and to not lift anymore until I get the right knee fixed and rehabbed. Sigh...Hopefully JayJay is right and the pain is just from overuse. I plan to ice it. You know, I was planning to go to Nationals even if I couldn't lift because everything is paid for....but now, I couldn't even walk through the airport! If I had any advice for anyone reading this group, it would be to get the weight off immediately, so you don't end up with lousy joints like me later on in your life!!
