eek. the knee thing does not sound fun. how do you know that it suddenly gets bad after 3-4 hours of walking? you are walking around for 3-4 hours regularly on a bad knee? :O i was thinking that the treadmill is definately stressful on the knees. i do way less than you since i just started using mine 2 weeks ago, and having it on an incline helps but after 30 min or so i feel something in the knees which doesnt happen off the treadmill.
i think you told me before, but i forget. what is r.i.c.e?
hoho! i'm just an impatient butthead with injuries. :p unless it's bleeding or bruised, i'm like.. ohh it can't be that bad, plus i don't want to break my routine! i know about it suddenly getting bad after 3/4 hours of walking, b/c that's what happened 2 weeks ago when wes and i were tooling around DC visiting museums and a pre-fab green living exhibition thingie. i didn't realize it was hurt until then. you're supposed to start off slow, but i'm damn impatient! pooops! wes thinks i have tendinitis. :p it acted up the first 2 days in chicago, but the later 2 were ok since i didn't walk as much.
rest ice compress elevate, or something like that. :p i have these nifty bandages to bind my knees with.
Oh please do be careful with your injuries and make sure they heal! I've heard of many people hurting themselves, not taking the time to heal, and then rehurting the same injury until it's bad enough that they can no longer do what they want. Hope you get better soon!
i'm new to the whole invisible injury thing. i'm so used to being able to "see" my injuries, i wasn't even aware i had messed up my knee until it was too late! really frustrating to have to wait for things to heal.
Is Neko knee better nows?...when pen pen went to do the doctors for tendinitis pen pen was told to take Tylenol(for swelling) for two weeks...and then do the R.I.C.E.
i'm SOOO bad with taking pills! i totally forgot to do this! i even told myself this morning before going to work that i would take some, but i immediately forgot as soon as i got to the bathroom. :p
i also can't seem to remember taking vitamins every night either... !?!?
