10 Minutes of Jumping Jacks, Lifetime of Pain!
Hello everyone, I am 26 years old and man do both of my knees hurt. Growing up I sat "w", and wish now I listened to my mother. I decided a year and a half ago that i would get in shape and started doing jumping jacks. 10 minutes of them, and the next day, I had severe purple swollen knees. Since then I have been to two specialists, 2 p.t. courses, the local gym, been on several anti-inflammatory drugs, steriods, vicodin, McConnell taping of the knee ($15 dollars a roll (2 types of tape needed), x-rays, mri's, no braces will help due to the fact from sitting "w", my knee caps are tilted towards the insides of my legs, so the holes wont line up, ice packs, you name it. The burning, the throbbing and the clicking is unbearable. Sleeping comfortably is a problem, and so isn't everything else. I have read your story sjensen & kimmie about the surgery and am going to inquire more about it. The 9.5 inch incision is making my stomach turn but it would be worth it in the long run to be able to live a "normal" life. I wish the medical technology regarding PFS was further advanced so all of us didn't have to suffer.
