Research into Knee Injuries
So, given that my doctor wasn’t exactly helpful in his examination of my Knee a few months ago, I’ve been doing my own research. I wanted to know what the anatomy of the knee was so I could figure out what in particular was hurting. Which at the moment appears to be the top of the medial collateral ligament and part of the anterior cruciate ligament. According to another website, the symptoms are the same for a torn ligament or cartilage, due to the fact that it hurts the worst in the morning after being in bed all night, or after a long period of sitting at work. And I don’t really want to take anti-inflammatories as much as possible, I may save them for any noticable swelling.
I have noticed that while doing some regular exercise lately, or getting up regularly to take a brief walk or stretch around the office, that it is not nearly as sore. I don’t know if this is particularly good for it, or what it really needs in order to heal, but it feels better.
I just want to be able to go up stairs again without excruciating pain.
