jediokie Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Back story, I'm 6'4" and this world is built for short people so I have to bend a lot. I played football in high school and short people hit me in the knees. I had to run on the deck of an amphibious command ship in the Navy which killed my knees. I used to lay tile without knee pads because I was stupid. I was morbidly obese for 5 years which is bad on your knees. Because of all of this, I have osteoarthritis in both knees at the ripe old age of 39. Fast forward to yesterday. My PT always makes me warm up on the treadmill for 5 minutes. I was feeling good so I bumped it up until I was jogging (first time in 15 years). But my knees started to hurt after a couple of minutes so I finished off walking. Fast forward to today. My favorite of all days, Squaterday!! But it wasn't. My knees were grinding and groaning the whole time. I got my heavy section done and went to do my working sets and my knees said no mas. The moral of the story kids, take care of your knees whilst you're young. Quote My workout log Link to comment
CrisciMalosh Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 ... too late... I shot my left knee when I was 12. Cheerleading can be a bitch.

Krisis Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 I think I've permanently messed up my knee as well. It made a yucky noise in January when i was walking up some stairs and it still hurts. I've got an appt with an orthopedic dude on the 26th and I'm scared he's going to make me having surgery. Rats.

iatetheyeti Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 I cracked my left knee cap when I was nine (running over wet floors to get food. Bad idea). Apparently it didn't heal quite so perfectly as they hoped, and now not only do I get groaning, moaning, and funny clicking sounds from it, but it has a tendency to start playing up whenever I start doing squats. Or climbing. Or running. Or, you know, a lot of things. Heh, it doesn't much like the cold either. Quote "The old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.

jediokie Posted July 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 My knee feels a lot better after squaterday. It's tight but it doesn't hurt like it did right after the squats. My knees seem to do better after squat day than if I skip it to try and let them rest. Go figure. Quote My workout log Link to comment
