@ChillTime I do not know how much sage advice I can give you but I really identify with your experience and concern....and your frustration. I am 23 weeks and I've been writing about the same type situation on my thread, too. So what I can offer is empathy and let you know I am taking the same advice that has been given to you. I am about the same age as you and have been very active so it is very hard to back off, not exercise for a time and just let my knee heal. I mean - it is like reading my own post. I've been trying to focus on what has improved and surrender to my body and just let it take the time it is needing. Mine is the lower knee cap is very sensitive, sore and jumpy nerves in the knee when I overdo. My surgeon said it was bone stress and will go away with time. I'm surrending to I can't walk long distances/times right now and am slowly building up steps/time at a snail's pace. It is so counter intuitive to not do strengthening exercises to get the knee "better". So if I may - it sounds like you've had QUITE a lot of activity on the vacation and wedding...and that may have really increased your discomfort. I know it seems like when I overdo it...it takes quite a bit longer to settle it all down again. I wish you the best of recovery and I would say speedy recovery but I don't think either one of us needs to hear that. I am a landscape photographer and am missing my camera and road trips...for now.
