ack! bad knee!

[jaeclectic]

My knees have been playing up pretty badly the past few weeks, and I've just been trying to ignore it.

Today, after my realtor dropped me back at home, I decided to walk back down to Jack London Square, to scope out the exact neighborhood in a more leisurely way, and time the walk to BART, to the shore trail, and to the actual JLS yuppie-shop-cluster. On the way back, I decided to go a little out of my way and swing over to Lake Merritt, just for fun / exercise / to say hi to the birds. So, an hour and 20 minutes of walking, wearing my normal daily shoes.

Somewhere in that last mile or so my knees started whimpering, and sometime after I came upstairs (gimping badly) the whimper ascended to more like a shriek. I couldn't actually straighten and then bend my left knee without stabbing pain.

I slapped on a ice pack and the worst has subsided. But I am not pleased.

Probably shouldn't go to the gym tomorrow, huh?

ow! Take it easy, for sure. Ice, advil, more ice. Is that more or different pain that typically? Have you had it looked at? Poor knees!
