be nice to your knees

[crazycanuck]

I've had very little direction in regards to sports injuries or injuries in general-i stopped taking nurofen when the swelling went down & thought not to ice my knee as i could walk..

(I thought the feeling in my knee was in my head and have been taking it easy however i thought perhaps i should see someone who has a clue about these things..but then wondered if i was going to waste thier time...)

I went and saw a sports physio & all that's wrong is the tendon under my knee is inflamed..He pressed on the area of the right knee where i fell- firmly massaging it for about 5-10 min (ow ow ow......i can handle pain..) & then wrapped it in ice...

(He showed me where on the knee with a skeleton so if i find a pic of one i could tell you...)

He said to take nurofen every 8hrs & to do the same icing routine at home this weekend. So i have to go back on monday.

I'm off to the pool...
