Loading ...I know exactly what your talking about and noticed some knees pain. I know from weight training I did years ago on my own particularly for knowing instinctively to protect joints is to use muscle instead. So many nurses were going down with different injuries depending on the field including wound nurses was one of my different hats. It probably helped prolong my years in the field but now I know don’t do it or at least lighten up on the physical because depending on what your doing the injury’s and pain increases a lot with it if you don’t.
So I know locking in my knees although necessary or any joints is the wrong thing to do and will wear and tear and harm them next. The pain is getting worse though and should maybe take at least ibuprofen low dose. The doctor offered similar things as you as some also help with CMT pain too but I declined at this time. I might think about it cuz he pointed out it’s going to make me weaker and weaker as I’ll physically be able to do less and less without it. Less and less also more prone to injuries. I finding ways to work on strengthening the muscles around joints combined around the ones that don’t work anymore cuz of cmt don’t get the message so have to compensate with that too. I’m just glad I had really good balance at one time but I’m running out of compensations so I got to try to get some back if I can and that’s not gonna be over night.
Mr Copper, yes I understand but at the same time ‘ with pain’ don’t ignore it. It’s trying to tell you something if you don’t know what it is
