Hi I am older guy, my name is Rich.

My right knee was injured, I went through physical therapy and it stopped hurting. Now I am supposed to do my exercises at home. I made the mistake of playing hopscotch with my grand-niece and nephew and my knee started hurting all over again. I am doing my exercises but it’s not healed yet. I am so sick of this problem.

Last night it began throbbing just like the old days before therapy.

I really don’t want to go back to the doctor. Just for today I will do my exercises and hope for the best.

I also have my computer in the shop. Not having it here at home has thrown me into a tailspin.

Thanks for listening. Rich.

Hi R.,

I am sorry that you are experiencing the knee pain again. I know this is something that could trigger anxiety, because of the what-ifs it presents. However, try to stay in the moment and not project into the future with worst case scenario worries.

This could simply be some temporary inflammation causing the pain...and something that will go away with some ice and rest. RICE...Rest, Ice Compression and Elevation for 24 hrs rights a lot of aches and pains quickly.

Try your best to stay positive about it feeling much better soon!

Hoping you get your computer issues sorted easily and quickly as well!

S.C.
