I visited my physio dude yesterday evening & a couple of items came up.

First item is my right side is out of whack, esp my right hip. I obviously just started to move in a different way and didn't realize it. I don't think it was becuase walking etc was painful but rather it was easier to move?

Second-regarding the knee pain @ the front-I was asked if it was more pain or strength that was holding me back from pushing down from a bent knee. It's mainly painful to even try. He got me on the stationery bike & i managed to get my leg down & around once but it took all my strength!

He taped my knee & told me to see if it helps. If it does then he'll show me how to tape it up myself before a ride. In addition, i need to get my glute & hammies working. Some of the exercises i've been doing i can move to the wayside as the quads are super strong now.

The last thing is if all this doesn't work he mentioned they can give a cortisone shot but i'd rather not.

What's the guidline again about if it hurts, try & do it. If it hurts afterwards, don't do it type thingie..

Wahine-I stopped going to Acupuncture in early Jan, would it be beneficial to return?

THanks for your help.
