Over the weekend, my knee really began to hurt. Driving 5 hours Friday and Sunday really aggrevated it, crawling on the floor with a baby hurt, it just really freaked me out. So I decided to keep my appointment with the specialst this morning. Overall, it's good news. But I'm not excited to pay for it.
The nurse was going to set me up for an X-ray, luckily I was smart enough to mention that I didn't want to pay for that yet and would rather talk to the Dr first. When he came in, we looked at the X-ray, he saw nothing wrong. He only commented on how great my bone density was. So that's a plus. He's not sure what they say to alarm them, but either way he saw nothing of concern. We talked through my pain, and he looked at my knee. Of course my knee wasn't hurting at the point, typical life, but if there was something serious, I'm sure he would have found a way to find it with his exam...so I feel OK about it.
The conclusions were, I should not do things when they hurt, but I shouldn't be afraid to try running again and keep biking. He also said I was really tight, so should work on stretch my lower legs. That might help with shin splints. He said if it hurts again, I can come in and get another x ray.
So that's good news!
Tonight I go to yoga with sister!
