Back when I did have constant knee problems, during my long daily walks I would sometimes feel discomfort in the joint. I tried to keep the sensations of pain/discomfort at a minimum by walking slowly and taking gentler steps (when going downhill).

After my meniscus trim I specifically asked the OS what I should now do in terms of exercise and he said "anything you think you can handle". That was really poor advice if Dr Dye's theories are correct (which in my experience I think are correct). I was back on my bike cycling pretty solidly within 6 days of surgery. While I don't think that was the whole story about my demise (in hindsight I think my homeostasis was on a downward track BEFORE I tore my meniscus), it certainly can't have helped my recovery.<br /><br />The other conundrum is why did I get bilateral loss of homeostasis, and not just in the left knee which had the surgery? Again, I think that is because both knees were already on the edge of implosion, and the surgery just sealed the deal.<br /><br />TriAgainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142068982446715373.post-30220826941682444062016-09-21T00:06:44.951-07:002016-09-21T00:06:44.951-07:00Yes, some time ago I even downloaded, translated t...Yes, some time ago I even downloaded, translated that in Bulgarian and sent out to friends who had meniscus surgeries. Interestingly, I showed it also to one PT and a doctor and they were unimpressed. There is something terribly wrong in the medical community when it comes to knees I begin to think.Svetohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09160616668592760434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142068982446715373.post-3811166230465175332016-09-20T22:27:30.467-07:002016-09-20T22:27:30.467-07:00More Dr Scott Dye gold:

I could feel 'crepitus.' It was a grinding sensation I could feel through the palms of my hands. I should add that I never do this to my knees anymore because it results in severe pain and swelling a couple of hours afterwards.<br /><br />AmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142068982446715373.post-62437973540596746882016-09-13T13:09:42.072-07:002016-09-13T13:09:42.072-07:00Piezo and microphone, like electro-acoustic guitar...Piezo and microphone, like electro-acoustic guitar.
