Re: [at-l] SORE knees!!
Probably from sitting in too small an airline seat on the flight home.
;-)
Actually, that might not be such a joke. Your last day did include
Albert Mt. which is tough in either direction. I doubt you were
listening to your knees so much that day. Your feet hurt you, and may
have also drowned out the knees. Sitting in transportation with
excessive flexion may have completed an injury, or complicated
stretching.=20
For now you need RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) as well as
aspirin or similar pain relief. If you aren't better within a very few
days, see a real world doc. I have similar experiences with my ankles
after hikes. No problems while in the woods, but they seem to go crunch
each morning as I walk the dogs and pick up my paper in the yard. I
even sometimes walk like Granpa McCoy.
OB
I'm home and not on the ISP to post to the list. Would you forward it,
please?
