He works all day and I wouldn't ask him to do anything for me unless I had to. Even if he didn't work, I still wouldn't ask him.

I went to the doctor today and he said that it was just Bursitis and Tendonitits. He gave me a steroid shot in my knee. He said it should feel better in two weeks at the most. At least it wasn't anything too bad. :D

yes, definatley Tendonitis. I have it in both my knees. It hurts the most when the knee is in the bent position for a long time (such as the movie theatre). It hurts to touch as well. Seems like the same symptoms you have/had.

OK, I HAD to do it! ;)

But seriously, sorry about your knee. I have bad knees too.

Old Hacky Sack injury of all things.... :roll:

You can get knee injuries playing hacky-sack? :Q :confused: How would that be accomplished?

**EDIT**
BTW, my right knee hurts right now and I am not doing anything but sitting on a computer chair. Meh, you get used to it after a while. If I get surgery I lose the ability to do certain things.

I went out for a "save", came down on my knee and broke it!

Went to the emergency room and they said "YUP, it's broken, go see a specialist!"

No money and no insurance so now 15+ years later it still gives me trouble sometimes, but all in all, it seems I have LESS problems that a LOT of people I have talked to that DID get surgery.

I am convinced cycling helped a LOT with my "recovery"!

Agreed. Cycling did strengthen the hip flexors and balancer around my knee. I think though now I am cycling at too high of a tension for my bum knee though. :( Oh well, I guess I won't be doing amateur cycling races anytime soon.

Hacky sack! I wasn't aware that was a rough enough sport to hurt your knees. Though, it does involve a lot of twisting your knees. Sorry your knees hurt, too! :)

I have done a lot of damage to my knees over the past 25 years and I'm sure that it's all just catching up with me now! :)

This is only gonna make sense if you are or still continue to feel pain...

I recommend a better bed. A tempur-pedic or a decent knock-off of the same(check the thread here in the Hot Deals forum) and here is a shortcut link to where I bought mine and the price keeps dropping. It's the same as the TP mattress in my house.

I swear it helped erase all sorts of aches and pains. Seriously, think about a new bed.

P.S. to any of you younglings making fun of us old folks... you will be old some day, that is, if you make it. ;)

Best wishes on your knee :sun:


Are the soles of your shows flat?

I wear the outside soles of my boots down and dont notice it till my right knee starts hurting.
Then I check the soles and they will be wore at an angle.
