This is the post where I whine about my knee.
I am just so tired of it hurting and limiting me from the activities that I love to do.
I ski, and skiing is pretty much our life. Unfortunately, skiing is becoming increasingly difficult.
I have gone to physical therapy. I have had a cortisone shot. I have a new knee brace. I have done the series of Hyalgon shots and I have upped my dosage of Ibuprofen.
I was feeling pretty good until I tripped on some steps in the garage and "tweaked" my knee.
Now its huge again and totally painful. I have tried skiing these past three days, and it has never been as bad as this. I was actually grunting and barking in pain as I skied down the hill. I don't want to think what the people on the lift were thought of me! I was absolutely exhausted after a couple of runs. The number of runs didn't get me, but from the energy of trying to keep it all together and work through the pain just killed me.
I even tried my yoga class tonight and just about cried!
The doc said I was 10 years away from knee replacement. If I have to go through the next ten years dealing with this...I don't know what to do. I hate the idea of taking so much Advil.
Okay...done whining.
