Five weeks of rest and PT...and I'm running again. I occationally get pain in the knee, but it is not from the tear or the tendonitits, it is from the PT. Three hours a week of intense strenghth training can make you SORE!(Ice, Advil and more Ice)
Five weeks of learning how to walk and run all over again.
(Why?)
Like my father I walk duck footed. I've had to learn how to correct this. Walking like a duck isn't a problem, but running with my toes pointed to 10 & 2 will only aggravate the torn meniscus. It's adapt or die...and I haven't got this far by refusing to work through problems.
Five Weeks of figuring out how all this happened has been like assembling a jigsaw pauzzle without the picture on the box.
Here's the picture as it has emmerged:
1. I overtrainned in the fall and inflammed my petella tendon
2. Years of getting in and out of the car pivoting on my knee tore my meniscus
3. Neither of these are long term problems now since I rested.
BTW, Cyclist call their bike seat...a saddle
