That, along with strictly avoiding nsaids, ice and PT (since Pt aggravated bb and the nsaids killed my stomach and seemed to have other negative effects) and just doing natural activities (long walks with tons of stairs with light stretching) seemed to cause rapid healing. This along with avoiding reading about knee injuries or focusing on them totally recovered my knee and back after many months of being almost completely incapacitated - I would improve a little and then setback almost to zero - looking at possible invasive knee procedures and spinal fusion as options down the road. <br /><br />After a couple of months of the above, I went from unable to walk much and unable to descend stairs in both knees 6 months after bruise and unable to sit more than 2 minutes due to severe back and pelvis pain - as the initial knee injury hurt my other knee and back through compensation - to being able to walk at an aggressive pace for many miles on various terrain and walk or run up and downstairs without handrails or any kind of cautious stepping etc and not even thinking about my knees or back. Anyway, just thought I would share my experience.Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142068982446715373.post-82031501919995689812017-05-20T12:39:27.774-07:002017-05-20T12:39:27.774-07:00Yes, that makes sense.

I was asked to do blood tests which showed low levels of vitamin D about 4.3. I was told it as a reason for my bilateral knee pain and the diagnosis was delayed by 6 months solely due to this. And when I had appropriate diagnosis, my bilateral knee pain had worsened.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Healing timeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
