Standing + Big Gears Always = Knee Problems?
Per Steve Sr.:
So here I am sitting by the computer with my knee wrapped in an ice pack. Go easy. Back off. Your body will become less insult-tolerant with every year and there's no sense insulting it any more than you have to. You'll hear about of people who keep on pushing and pushing with apparent invulnerability - but the reason you hear about them is that they're still in the game. The ones who inflicted unrecoverable injuries on themselves just quietly fade out as they are forced to seek other activities. I don't have any idea what the percentages are either way, but it doesn't really matter: if something's bothering your particular bod, that's all that matters. If you can find a specific cause/solution, go for it... but don't figure on gutting it out. Also, if an orthopod suggests a surgical "fix", I'd do some homework on long term outcomes. I know too many people who had, for instance, an offending meniscus removed; went back to running; and wound up *really* messed up five years later. -- PeteCresswell |
