    Thanks, SIH, I wasn't sure about using the ice for the pain as its not the actual knee, but if that's the advice I'm on it. Anything for a bit of relief. Great advice as usual.

    Jockette, i think i suffer with legs raised as ive been workjng on trying to get my extension a bit better as i can still get most of my hand under my knee, so whatever it is that stretches in the back of my knee really hurts when i raise my legs. As you say it takes all sorts lol.

    I find that if i elevate my leg when resting it s really sore, especially shin pain. Ive started sitting in the chair with both feet on the ground and it certainly helps me, not sure it d work for everyone mind you. Im 3 months also.
