Knees.

[watervole]

My knees are killing me.  I'm not exactly sure why, but they got bad on Saturday (when I was dancing, but not excessively so) and I can barely walk at present.  I can cycle to some extent (uses different muscles and isn't weight bearing) but standing is very painful.

And it's the Quayside Cloggies 25th anniversary tour/party this weekend.  Unless things improve, I'm going to have to miss it.

I am so sorry - especially that bad timing. I have never believed that I might have some problems with my knees - and here we go: my left knee hurts, sometimes more and sometimes less. But I can walk, yes. I hope you will be able to recover - I just can´t imagine that event without you!!!

Ugh, that's a bugger :-(

I had problems with my right knee but that was due to having incredibly flat feet (causing "over-pronation" of the foot) and it wasn't until the Doctor referred me to a Chiropodist who gave me a set of built-up insoles for my shoes that it got better.

Yes I overpronate too. Apparently it's very common.

Much empathy as I have recurring knee pain too. Do you find elastic support bandages (http://www.google.co.uk/products?rlz=1T4PBEA_en-GBGB316GB316&q=elasticated+knee+support&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=S2wiTIjWJpey0gT7kuH3BA&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CDQQrQQwAA) help?

Haven't tried support bandages. (I think it's probably inflammation as both knees went at the same time. I've had bursitis in the past)

I'll give them a shot if it doesn't clear up soon.

"Look after your knees - you'll miss them when they're gone."

*sympathy*. It's a bugger. No particular advice, but genetically speaking, I share your pain.

I'm so sorry. I hope it gets better soon!!
