Hermione Gainser Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 teehee thanks friends!So, I went to the doctor.. because someone logic'd me into it. Doctor says I have ...wait for it...runner's knee. WTF? Runner's knee? I don't run. But yeah, so it can also occur in people with over pronation issues. Funny how that works, huh? Anyhow, no running (bahahahahaha) or squats or deadlifts for the next 10-14 days. X-rays are possible for Monday if there isn't a marked improvement by the end of the weekend. So.. fingers crossed. I'm staying home tonight instead of doing some upper body stuff like I planned. I'm pooped. Speaking of: I bought an eye mask to help me sleep. Here's hoping.

scotticus Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Runners knee/PFS = suck! Dude, I have been there before in the worst ways (because of running though). Definitely watch those knees when squatting and don't be afraid to use wraps! Having been down the PFS road, I'm totally willing to endure some mockery (for wrapping my knees on less than epic lifts) in order to keep my joints healthy Link to comment
Hermione Gainser Posted July 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Runners knee/PFS = suck! Dude, I have been there before in the worst ways (because of running though). Definitely watch those knees when squatting and don't be afraid to use wraps! Having been down the PFS road, I'm totally willing to endure some mockery (for wrapping my knees on less than epic lifts) in order to keep my joints healthy Turns out it may not be runner's knee after all... At my niece's bday party was this PT we know. We got to talking and he checked me out and said he's pretty positive it's not PTS but sounds more like a meniscus tear. He was nice enough to go through some tests and movements with me. He suggested I skip the whole x-ray thing with my doc and make an appointment with an orthopedic doctor (since that's what I will have to do anyway). He said the ortho will have more tests they can do to determine if it's a tear and if I need and MRI and blah blah blah. I'm hopeful that, if it is a tear, it's a minor tear. Given this description it sounds like a moderate tear. I will remain hopeful that this PT is wrong..though, he's been in the business a long time and he's kind of the shiz. And I didn't think I'd miss the days of having PTS... Go figure.

ChristArtist Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 I'd rather have the meniscus tear, repair and get over it....done three times, rehab was shorter than"runners knee"type pt crap leading up to the eventual surgery....Went 20 years not ok before surgery, and then I could seriously get back to training. My knees are the best part of me now!I pray for quick recovery, whatever it is...but go with the ortho..best case.

I'm actually moving towards that mindset more now. With the PTS it was kind of unclear what would happen after this bout when away. The idea of fixing it and moving on is really appealing. And, as one of my FB friends said, Peyton Manning had it and then went on to be all awesome. If you and Peyton can do it, so can i!!

Strawberry Squatcake Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 That sucks about your knee if it is a tear, but it sounds like the fix and recovery might be quicker and more clear-cut, so I guess a tiny yay for that? I hurt my knee once upon a time. It hurt like a motha. And my doc said it was one thing, sent me to an ortho for what seemed like endless tests. Turned out to be nothing (even though a PT (not in the business as long as your friend sounds like) told me it was likely X). So, I'll hold out hope that it's nothing that needs surgery. I did a short stint of PT, mostly on my own, and although I don't feel like my knees can endure anything, they do feel pretty stable. (My ankles are my weakest link.)Anyway, here's hoping for the best outcome and a quick recovery! Shape-Shifting Ginger Current Battle Log 2" washers for smaller weight increases Link to comment

I've made some variations but completely forgot about that. Taht would have been a good call! haha I decided to wing it and see what would happen. It's... ok. Not super tasty but not terrible. I used more chocolate almond milk than the recipe called for (in place of regular almond milk). Like I said, it's okay.. but not great.

Fortunately for me my coworker went through something similar to what you described and finally found a good doc.. so I am reaping the benefits of her long journey with orthopedic pain. Stupid knee! The pain/discomfort aspect of it has lessened but I still have limited ROM and can't walk on it.. which stinks. I have my ortho visit on Wednesday.

Stubborn Laura is Stubborn. And stubborn Laura attempted a go at working out on Saturday. I put my knee brace on and hobbled into the gym. Feel free to scold me. Did the following:One legged RDL: 30#dbs 3x5Pistol squat: 3x6Linear leg press: loaded to 90 2x5 (that's really hard with one leg)Bench: 100 5/5/4/2/2i had my leg propped up on a plate and was not putting pressure on it... it was interesting. chin ups: 3/3/3Dips: I don't recall how many I did... a couple sets of 3 or 4? It was too much. by the end my knee started to feel a little crabby and I was so exhausted i wanted to sleep there. Also, I want to eat ALL THE FOOD. Being a hobbly Laura is pretty exhausting. I think I'll continue to attempt upper body stuff like chins and maybe some pistols on my good leg but at home...oh, and other things! supps have been good. Coffee/tea ratio has been goodactivity has obvs been limited mobility has been limitedFoam rolling has been decent (it's about all I can do in terms of mobility right now)had to return my book to the library but I'm reading Starting Strength and some other books I got e copies of (score!) so I count that as studying.
