|
Well, I finally had to come to grips with the fact that I really have
hurt my knee. As I posted before I was having some pain, but a days
rest seemed to be ok. Well last week I really did it. I was playing
b-ball during lunch and took a jump shot and I was done. It felt like
someone drove a nail through my lower knee. I couldn't go up or down
stairs for a couple days. Of course I iced it regularly and I work a
desk job so I get plenty of rest.
My concern is that I am going to lose strength in my legs while I rest
this (i'm giving it a couple weeks, and then I will try a couple
jog/walks). I know i can maintain my upper body strength with weight
training, but I am worried about my lower body.
Also I would like to strenthen the area around my knee without causing
to much pain ( I think this is the root cause of the knee pain. I
running a recovery run after a track workout and steped funny. After
that recovery run is when it started to hurt).
I am looking for some exercises that will help with this. I do have
access to weights and even some rubber bands that my wife has for her
tybo stuff. Unfortunatly, easy access to a pool is not in the works, or
I would be using a pool for sure. If anyone has any good ideas I would
love to use them.
Thanks
John

John,
A common runner's problem is a weakened quad that permits the knee cap
excessive movement. I had it and it can be quite painful. My solution was
to begin a regimen of single leg presses, with only a slight bend of the
knee, with increasing weights. Soon the pain eased and eventually left
completely. I have continued the exercise and have not have any problems.

And just in case it isn't what's been diagnosed here, why not see a dor
to find out just what your problem is? Maybe even some p.t. to give you
correct targeted exercises?
