knee fun!

[danceforme]

My knees have been hurting me for the past week...not sure if an old dance injury, sitting incorrectly in my chair for 8 hrs a day or the car accident triggered it. It basically feels like I am getting punched in the back of the knees and they are going to burst. Oh yeah, they also burning and feel like I just had a major leg cramp too. After

Sorry you're having these problems. Have you taken any new medications recently, specifically antibiotics from the quinolone family? Cipro is the most common one, but there are a lot of variants out there. This family of antibiotics is known to cause weird joint/tendon issues in some people (considered rare but probably under-reported as well). I'm familiar with this because Bridget ran into this problem recently. I can't describe the pain in detail but I know there was general tendon pain running up her legs and specifically problems with her knees. It's definitely better than when it was at its worst but I don't think it is resolved.

Thanks :)I haven't taken any new meds or anything recently...its so strange...it's like my legs to not want to support my weight!I think its mostly due to past injuries, maybe the cold weather too?!
