Knee Maintenance

the last time that i had that injection on my right knee was in 2016 i think. and this time i thought it is time again for the treatment. right now i am getting sleepy to blog.. but i wanna update something :p so i will be pasting some write up to perhaps explain what happened. 

Runner's Knee (click here to a link)

Patellofemoral syndrome is the term for pain at the front of your kneecap. It's common in people who play sports. That's why it's often called "runner's knee" or "jumper's knee."

It can be brought on by using your knees too much, for instance with intense exercise like jogging, squatting, or climbing stairs. But it can happen to people who don't play sports, too. Your kneecap, also called patella, can get out of line and not move the way it should in the groove on top of your thighbone.

This wears away the cartilage -- a slippery substance that helps your bones move smoothly against each other -- and causes pain.

You may feel a dull ache in the front of your knee, and it may hurt to climb stairs, jump, or squat. You may notice that your knee hurts after you sit for a long time. Or it might pop or crackle when you stand up or go up stairs.

So this year i waited till Ramadhan to do it coz i dont teach many classes in Ramadhan. and i thought it would be a good time to take a break/rest on my knees. i went to PCMC because i thought the hospital is nearer to my house when i go for weekend visit. i did the treatment on saturday, 26 May 2018. how i feel after that? my knees were stiff, really stiff and kind of funny to walk. the nurse asked if i wanted a wheelchair, but i thought i should be practicing to walk anyway. 

31 May 2018: 4 days after the procedure i still feel slight imbalance while walking and my knees rasa mcm ngilu2 and sometimes i just lose balance. boleh imagine tak, how am i supposed to have my zumba class? memang tak lah kan? well anyway, we had buka puasa with the whole kalamsclan at subang parade. i thought i was okay to walk, but then in the middle of window shopping, suddenly my knees jammed! luckily N1 was beside me, so i hold on to her LOL :D it was kinda funny. embarrassing funny.
