I am 19 and about 4 years ago i tore all the cartilage behind my left knee cap. The doctors put e through 3 months of physical therapy. It has been fine until recently. I started walking 4 miles every other day and the days i wasn‘t walking i have been bike riding 6-12 miles I have always been very active so this is not really abnormal for me. This past week my knee has been swollen and in the same pain, sometimes worse then it was beforewhat could it be.
Snow Bunny. Try this. Go to a health food store, here in Denver, I use Vitamin Cottage. Buy the powder, BONE MEAL. AND DOLOMITE. THEY COST about $5.00 each. Take one teaspoon of each and mix it in a shake. Use banana, and it will absorb the grittiness of the powder. This is calcium in a very digest able form. Do this about every other day, make your shake with milk or juice, any kind of fruit, but always add banana. Your knee will heal nicely. Lay off pushing the exercise. Don't push into pain. Try some yoga, or something less stressful on your knee, for awhile. Bone meal and dolomite is almost like a miracle in the joints. Also soak a cotton rag in hot water and powdered tumeric, to alleviate swelling. That's an old remedy. It's kind of messy, as it stains your skin, until you shower. but very healing and reduces swelling blessings. . Diana
