Hey there
My knees have been quite sore with the swimming ( probably pushing off the wall and kicking drills seem to bother me) My hubbys Uncle is an ortho and he told me just to swim through it ( as I am not going to do anymore damage). Which I am. I guess losing weight is key. Also strengthening the muscles around the knees.
Obviously they don't hurt enough to stop but they are more sore than before I swam. I kind of thought swimming was supposed to be good for this type of thing.
So I want to hear other peoples stories about arthritis and swimming.
Thanks
Katie
It doesn't appear that there's anyone who does prolo within a hundred miles of me. :(
As for the elliptical, it bothers my knee. I was told not to do it since it hurts.
That stinks. :( I think they're not as many really good prolo/pain docs because it's simply not as lucrative as surgery. Wish I could send my doc to you!! Or, maybe it's worth the round trip drive? You only get the injections every 4-5 weeks. And you can space them out even further than that.
Katie: The needle doesn't really bother me, except when it goes right in the tendon. But it's not really a painful procedure. After the injections, you feel temporarily better, then you're just sore for a few days.
I do see other athletes trying this. My doc has plenty of soccer and football clients, as well as regular folks who want to avoid the big cut. Redskins apparently love prolo.
