The latest knee update

, 06-27-2007 at 10:09 AM (57 Views)

I'm still not yet released for normal routines; however, the range of motion is normal and the problem is that I'm lop-sided and off-balance because the quad muscle is just not recovering very well. I was at 72% last time and I'm at 74% now. Yes, it's going the right direction but I'm not over the hump yet.

I have more exercises to do, including squatting while holding onto something (because I get "stuck"). [Help! I've squatted and I can't get up!]

I can, however, resume most normal activities only at a much lower activity level than in the past. I can run one lap on the inside track, but not at full speed. I can jump back and forth a little bit (and that's one of the exercises), but no jumping rope for a while.

I'd like to know, however, what the heck I did to my right arm. It hurts from forearm to shoulder.

You are probably correct. I now have a doctor's appt. for this evening and hopefully will have a diagnosis.

I still blame this on the inventory work we've been doing lately. I spent one entire day going move mouse - click - move mouse - click - move mouse - click. NOW I can type in some data. Move mouse - click. Select data. Move mouse - click.

Modifying ONE item took an average of 12 moves and mouse clicks. My the end of the day, My right arm felt like it was going to fall off.

It doesn't help that the cord's too short on this mouse.

And my supervisors says, you gon't get tendonitis from keyboarding, you get carpal tunnel.

Ask said supervisor for their medical background. You can get tendinitis from keyboarding and mousing.

Be sure to discuss it with the doctor. You might even get a written "She is not allowed to do this" note...

What exercises are you doing to strengthen the knees? With my knee problems, I'm always looking for additional ones...

My problem isn't getting up from squats, it's the blood pressure drop afterwards that gets me... Just one more thing to discuss with the doctor after we get insurance again...

It does sound like you are making progress, just not a fast as you wanted to.
