You may remember that I can’t take NSAIDs anymore.
I’ve also written about knee issues, and that recently I wasn’t having them.
Apparently I tempted the fates or something, because last weekend I managed to do something to my left knee.
The good thing is that I have been able to treat it with using my cane more to reduce strain; elevation; an ice pack; and doing more of the exercises I learned in physical therapy.
- Clamshells
- Leg lifts
- Chair squats
I’m also very aware of how moving is affecting my my knee. Placing my foot in one direction or another can be painful or not. I’m more self-aware.
Would I like to take some ibuprofen occasionally? Yes! But I’m managing without, and with little pain.
