just as spring hits and "walking weather" has returned, too

try a compression brace. it helps me when my knee is feeling old.

Time to hit the bulgarians

Just have a doctor cut the whole thing off. It's all downhill from here. Might as well get it over with

Stretch and do hip and glute exercises.

Get custom foot inserts

Go and get it checked out. Could be an easy fix, in which case, yay! Could be something harder or more serious, in which case, not yay, but at least you know what youre dealing with.

My knee's actually gotten better over the last couple days, but now I've fucked up my toenail and it's kinda sore.

It's ALWAYS something

This legit made me chuckle because there are people on here who unironically come after people in various topics with shit like this when someone opens up about their life, usually about something they bought.

My left knee is the one I fucked up in a moshpit when I was sixteen, so if TC and I combined our powers we could make one mostly-functional set of legs.

Or one that's just fucked completely, not exactly experienced with the fusion dance.

Getting old does indeed suck.

I hurt my knee back in Jan. after slipping on some ice. It was only sore for a day or two but since then I still can't get down on my left knee without it hurting. There's no pain otherwise, I can walk and bend my knee just fine, but I can't get down and put my weight on it without hurting.

Back in October my friend and I went to the state fair. We walked around for, like, five hours.

The next day my right knee didn't feel right. I figured it was just due to walking abnormally long since I never do that. Well after a few weeks, the feeling didn't wear off. Aside from the light pain, it felt stiff. Couldn't bend it completely, either. Best description I can give it is that it felt how a gout flare up begins. As if I might have over-strained the joint.

Well, in December, there was a big get christmas get together with friends and we 35+ Melee old heads got to talking about our daily woes. Turns out one of the guys also was experiencing this kind of arthritis. He said he was recommended some over the counter medication called Bi-Flex. Naturally I jumped to grab a bottle next day. After a few days (bottle says it takes a few days for the effects to kick in), I felt more normal than I had in weeks.

So I can vouch for its effectiveness. Not sure how or why, but it's made it so I don't dread walking anymore.

My left knee has been fucking up lately too. Like if I fall asleep with that leg bent and wake up several hours later it is immensely painful to straighten it back out

And when I do squats or anything that requires bending at the knee, it feels like its popping out of place and Im scared its gonna just explode one day and my leg will collapse on itself
