Update on my knee (McKenzie exercises) [View all]
It's been a while since I posted, so I want to tell you, yesterday I went to my favorite park and walked for 50 minutes!!
so I am about 96% back to where I was before I got torn meniscus in March 2014.
I've been doing McKenzie exercises 3-4 months, and I totally credit them with my recovery.
I still do them every 2 hours or so (when I'm at home).

I am so happy to be able to walk.
Now I have another thing, don't know if it is related, but it is same leg. (right)
When I drive - even only 20 minues - my leg hurts.
and when I get out of car, I have to walk it off. I feel stiff, but the more I walk, the better I feel.
anybody else have this?
when I drove to my father's, a 40-minutes drive, I stopped every 15 minutes - and walked for 15 minutes.
someone suggested this is sciatica.
The pain goes up and ends in my right buttock.
I haven't looked it up yet.
A friend recommended a pillow that Bed,Bath sells - it has a cutout, is supposed to relieve pressure on the spine.
I will try that.
