I was fine at swimming; got home it started to ache now it hurts to bend it or have any lateral motion. Ice and advil huh?
I think it's probably just a bit strained...let's hope...

The problem did resolve and I have not had another problem with my knees since. Wish there was as easy a remedy for the shoulders.

Kimberly,
I tried it tonight. When my knees are kept together, I have the WORST kick!
Talk about weak and ineffectual! Will it get better?
