Greeneyes007's Journal, 07 Jan 15

Two years ago I injured my knee causing a small tear in the meniscus. I've done really good with it until yesterday. I twisted it and now the knee won't straighten all the way. Have a brace so I'm wearing that, using ice and will just do a slow pace on the stationary bike today. Have to keep moving forward. Hope all of you have a great day.

Sorry to hear you hurt yourself. Keep pushing on as much as you can. You can do it!

I injured my knee at work,torn meniscus. I had to do some therapy for about 6 weeks. I was given bands to strengthen the muscles in that knee. Surgery in in my future for sure. Hope your feeling better.

Greeneye's007 , I can understand knee injuries. It's no fun to exercise when you are in that kind of pain. Have you thought about working your upper body, until your knee isn't swelling? What about doing floor exercising? Truly, J.J.

Ouch...I hope the knee clears up, ice should help.

You could try warm soaks as well, maybe with Epsom salts. Prayers for your quick healing!

Be sure to check with your Dr. Knee issues are never to be taken lightly. I've had my share of knee issues and it's easy to dismiss it and think it'll work itself out in a few days, when in fact it could make it worse. Hope it'll get better soon and keep up the good work :-)

Have you seen your doctor recently? If so pilate exercises may work for you. Example crutches, stretching, lifting arm weights. If you have access to a pool you could walk laps. I used my rowing machine for my arms only. Also lifting weights while seated works. Avoid any weight on your knees until you get an approval from your doctor.
