Doctor Today
I have my appointment for my knees today at 1:10, I hate the doctor. With a passion. I'm hoping he tells me to do some exercises, gives me some sort of brace and sends me on my way, but I'm never that lucky.
Please send some good vibes my way, I'm freaking out already!! I suppose on the bright side, it gets me out of work for a bit and possibly even a half day! But I'd rather sit in the office with nothing to do than go to the stupid doctor.

Good luck. If he needs to consult, we're available.

Check out the book "Pain Free" by Peter Egoscue. The simple stretches keep my nagging platar faciitis away. It has worked for a friend's back pain too. Good Luck!

You can have a lollipop and a sticker, you just have to buy them yourself.

I survived the doctor!! YAY!!! Good news is running won't further damage my knees any, just might not feel the greatest. Got xays taken and the doctor told me I have very odd knee caps that are quite unstable. I didn't know knee caps could be odd. Hmm. Pretty much am getting shipped off to PT and will possibly get some pretty knee braces depending on how I do there, but I don't have to stop running! The doctor actually thinks my knee problems stem from my hips (oh great). He said my hips are slanted forward which pulls my knee caps from a different direction, but there's not a whole lot that can be done with that, unless I want to basically break my hips and have them re-set properly...NO THANK YOU!
He seemed pretty optimistic that PT should be able to take care of things and any inflammation I have behind my knee caps should resolve on its own. If not, back to the doctor I go.
I treated myself with some McDonald's fries and a Flurry

All right! Good news! Of course, now you have to run off that McDonalds.
