Back at it
This is a bad knee week for me. Similar to what happened in the beginning of December, it's kind of swollen (though not so much on the outside; I can just feel it catching and I know all too well what it feels like) and painful in various places--mostly the inside. It's what I call the "going up the stairs" problem--I guess that's when that part of the knee is forced to bear the most weight. It goes without saying that I am frustrated and unhappy. I'll give it a couple of days on the bike and see what happens. It's just that this seems to be an endless cycle.
This morning's biking was okay; I had "House" to entertain me and I was in a rush because I didn't have a lot of time. My knee actually felt all right during that but it was later in the day that I noticed the pain every time I got up from my desk. Yeah, I was in a great mood today--a real peach.
I tried to do a lot of foam rolling at the gym in the evening (along with biking and lifting) and that did seem to loosen things up a little. We'll see how the week goes...
