Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone has experienced a problem like mine. I hurt my knee about 1.5 months ago from overdoing it on a long hike on some rocky terrain. It didn’t feel like much at the time but it became inflamed afterwards and I figured I just needed a few days off. I quickly realized it would take more than a few days and went to PT and slowly tried to ease myself back into hiking. However, the issue worsened at the beginning of August to the point where anything I did with my leg, whether it be PT exercises, walking, or standing in the shower, would cause pain. I’ve stopped doing anything I can think of that will irritate it but it continues to feel the same. I’m worried because I have to start work at the end of the month which will involve being on my feet walking around/lifting patients 40 hrs/wk.

Anyone else with similar problems/advice?

Thanks,
Lauren
