Thanks ever so I’ve not seen this before but yeah that really helped xxA little visual you may have seen around on the forum, but in case you haven't, it depicts the reality of recovery vs our expectations.
Thanks so much yeah she looked horrified when I said don’t you think I need an X-ray the X-ray dept is in the same building there was literally no one in there. But you can’t get one without the physio coordinator or dr referring you n getting a drs appointment is harder than winning lottery.If she's still guessing where the pain "could" be coming from, I wished she'd considered an x-ray worth her time.
It's frustrating when our pain concerns aren't taken seriously. We feel unheard and worry something important is being missed.
Hopefully she's right...just overcompensating, etc. But if your gut tells you to get a second opinion, please do. And keep us posted. Good luck!
Thanks so much for reaching out really appreciate it. Hope your knee pain is getting better. Would you mind sharing what exercises you do please xxxHi—I am one month behind you and had quite a bit of knee pain for awhile. My PT said it was due to gait which was part protective habits (as mentioned above) and part bc my knee was falling in— due to other weak muscles. Slowing down and focusing on heel-toe walking has helped the most I think, but I also started working on glute and hamstring exercises. I also bought a percussive massage tool which also has been great when things tighten up.
Thanks ever so I’ve got a massage gun and I’ve been doing the percussion massage since I saw it helped and I guess it’s a bit better but not been doing it long.Hi—I’m sorry I didn’t see your question earlier. What has helped my knee pain the most I think is massaging deeply my entire leg. Inner thigh near knee, but all the way up as well. Also my quad and hamstring. For exercises I’ve been doing side leg lifts and bridges to get my glute stronger. Hang in there. Are you doing any physical therapy?
I’m on the waiting list to join the waiting list for physio think it’s 8 to 12 week wait then I should be allowed to join the actual waiting list god knows how long that is.
