Knee

[Master]

Doctor referred me to consultant for appointment 25th February.

Still cannot walk properly and have not trained since which makes me feel lazy and fat.

Try laying down on your back and peddling your legs from the hips reduces the knee impact and the bend of the knee joint, you may just reset your back into place too,plus its better cardio exercise than when you stand even move your arms as well.
Could do some leg raises while you watch tv ,or lift whole body up and down on your ankles while standing etc. You can support your knee on an exercise ball and do all sorts of reverse pulling and light pressure holds etc to keep the strength up without doing more damage.

Can you ride your bike ok? My mate has healed his split cartilage by increasing his bike riding to comp level,they wanted to do the arthroscope thing with his but he is all better now after a couple of years of self management.He hasnt gone back to soccer though.But looking at him i bet he could if he didnt have these other interests.He was the same as me if he caught the inside of his foot on anything like a chair leg etc, the knee would be like a knife going through it,other stuff less so.

fish oil tabs (cheap brand in large volume helps too)from others and my own experience it isnt the quality its the volume.some take up to 12 a day.That certainly stops you waking up in pain.

Great advice Andre, never thought about exercising now but could do some stretching and mild exercise as you suggest with no impact.

I never like taking tablets even aspirins, but will consider the fish oils.

I can ride the bike and I use to ride for miles on Sunday but found it boring and dangerous.

Ask Scrap about excersizing on your back. You heal twice as fast as your nervous system is relaxed and yet your cardio is more intense so more blood flows to your worn areas.

Support the knee with a ball or something,squeeze the ball backwards onto your calf etc.

Watch tv with bal under your knee squeeze it roll your knee over on side and squeeze all that sort of thing,trial and errror Just dont repeat anything that hurts.

Had my appointment and the consultant believes I need a knee replacement which at my age is very young. My knee must be really be in a bad way if he is considering that.

Reading up on it at the moment and looks like I will never be able to play sports again.

I can only see one out come, I shall take you out for one last drink, then I
shall ask Lyle to shoot you.

I may be hung like a horse but that is where the similarities end.
