Kat and Puccah's Strong is the new sexy log

WAF said:
What the hell?? Damn your unlucky girl. If you feel like something is moving go to the hospital and get an MRI done asap. Not good if you can't walk on it. Is there a burning sharp pain might be your ACL. Hope it's not I tore my acl and mcl at work and worked through it for months until I got it checked. Don't be stubborn like I was and made things worse.

Thank you, WAF! I have a bag of ice and a compression on it. It's not sharp but I can feel it wanting to pop if I twist it. I'll go tomorrow if it's not better. :/ Damn, concrete!
 
puccah8808 said:
Yes, I agree with you!! Lately I've been wanting to constantly crack my back. I don't know what's going on.

Eeeeek, a pwo, too? I guess I'll go cold turkey for a while. Thank you! :)

Possibly time to deload if you still feel any aches.

I was washing my car and I slipped and fell. I did a split and the inside of my left knee smack the damn concrete. Freakin' A, now my knee is swollen, I can't walk, and I feel like something is moving inside. My first day of work is tomorrow!!

Damn that horrible, do what you can to keep the swelling down and IMO let your boss or higher up know about the incident just in case it leads to anything else then, good luck puccah!

Thank you, I think you're right! I've been needing to deload anyway. Yes, if I can't walk right tomorrow, I'll let them know.

It's starting to move up my quad and to my glute. So weird!
 
Geez I hope it feels better!

Ice and rest is the best medicine

How does it feel today?

Haha, I just noticed that! I can't believe how off it is and how many people like it. I went back to MFP.

My doms is being a biatch right now. I just want someone to step on my back.

Yeah, it's not very user friendly IMO.
 
Kat you are looking great. Same boat as you, not where I want to be but better each time I look back at where I started.

Puccah I hope it is nothing serious with the knee and you have it checked out to be sure.

Thanks, guys. It was painful to sleep and I can't walk this morning. I think my knee got too hot throughout the night. I'm icing it right now and hopefully it'll get better in a bit.

You need to get it checked out!! Even if it's something minor they can give you a brace/support and prevent any more damage
 
love2liftkat can't wait to see your results.
puccah8808 take care of your knee. Hopefully you heal well and back to it.
 
Awe :( just read up on your post!! I hope it heals fine and that you feel much better soon. On another note that is absolutely one of the cutest pics of you ever!!!! Hope your week goes great!
 
Sorry to hear about your knee Puccah... Strangely enough I thought about getting my daughter a couple of pairs of those leggings (thanks), to cheer her up after her knee surgery from playing rugby.

Thank you, Wasme! I hope she heals up quick! She'll love them!

I feel a lot better but sitting for a long time really aggravates it.

Also, I love my new job! It's so refreshing and the environment is so amazing! I feel like I'm working at Google! :D Things really do happen for a reason! :)

Awesome about the job Puccah!! take care of that knee:)

Thank you, Kleen. I'm not sure if sitting all day is making my legs swell up or if it's my knee injury. I have cankles right now. I think it's from sitting down and the knee injury is adding to it. My other leg is a bit swollen, too, but not as bad as the injured one.

If they are both swelling then something else is going on, probably just electrolyte levels being off, but it is probably exacerbated by the knee on that one side.
 
Could be because you are sitting all day also... I know I went from a job I was walking around and moving all day to a desk job my legs swelled up a lil. Just had to up the cardio some and it leveled back
 
Swelling is common. About half of all pregnant women experience it.

:naughty:

They're pretty swollen today. Luckily, I have a desk that moves up and down. I can't stand too long but it helps a bit.

I love my rice cooker works like a charm and sings a lil song for me when it's done, no more over or under cooked rice. Rest for awhile no point of agitating it more. Enjoy yourself away from the gym. You've only got one body need to take care of it, hopefully this turns around for you.

I have a nice rice cooker but I haven't been eating rice lately. Oh and I don't know how to really use it. I think I add too much water.

Thank you! I bought a brace tonight. It's an XL but it barely wraps around my quad. :big quad problems:

Time heals all wounds. Take some time off, don't push it.
 
I have to use a lot of water with my rice cooker to get brown rice to cook properly. Like about 3.5 to 1.
 
Awe I'm so sorry you know I'd gladly take your pain and take it myself if it was possible. And no your feet don't look like sausages lol. Maybe this weekend rest will help a good bit.

Just take your time. You will probably want to start with body weight stuff on that leg first, testing it out and increasing blood flow for recovery.
 
Thanks, guys! That walking did me in. It's so painful today, I scheduled an apt. for next week.

It's slowly getting better. Sleeping and sitting or standing in the same place for too long is painful. Still no gym yet, but I will attempt it tomorrow. Thank you for asking. :)

You are welcome . Good it's getting better... Don't too crazy tomorrow in the gym don't want a set back

Thank you, guys. It'll be an upper day... The gainz are gone. :/

You are on crack! Gains aren't going anywhere silly. You are naturally thick and have a lot of muscle you aren't losing any muscle right now sweetie. CNS stuff might break down but you aren't losing any muscle tissue yet. At least not "The gains are gone" type loss.

I would really only do body weight squats when you start working the legs again. Work them good through the bottom range to open things up. Once it feels pretty good in the hole and coming out of the hole then add in lunges to strengthen the knee and stabilize it, then when that isn't causing discomfort go hit some weights.

Thanks, Kleen. It just feels weird not to train but I know that I need to rest up. I definitely won't put any weight on my back for a while. One bad knee and one bad quad makes squatting impossible. Currently, I can't move my leg to the side or sleep laying on my stomach at all. :( But... I know I'll heal and get better. :)

A set back is a set up for a comeback! :)

Are you icing it or taking anything for the inflammation? You should be taking about 800mg of ibuprofen every 4 hours to reduce the inflammation, but only for a couple weeks then drop the dose down or stop it depending on how it feels. If your stomach can't handle that then get a bunch of high extract turmeric.

I'm icing it and taking Tylenol. It was hurting so bad the other day that I took some OxyContin but it didn't help and kept me up all night. I may go get some Aleve tonight.
