From time to time over the last four years I have had trouble with knee pain. Particularly when standing for long periods of time. Prior to my diagnosis I had an MRI on my knee which showed some osteoarthritis which, at the time, was put down to overusage of the knee joint (good one – how overused can your knee be at 30?) Anyway, since my diagnosis I realise the knee pain is due to a shortening of the outer quadricep which pulls on my knees along with a corresponding weakness in the inner thigh. This is the treatment I have been using for the last 18 months and I have had some good results. Eventhough it is a recurring problem I try and keep up with this strapping and a few basic exercises to try and save my knees for the grinding and any more wearing of the cartiledge. This is not to replace advice from a physiotherapist but rather if you have this problem you can mention my experience and see if the same may be applied to you. By the way it is now 4 days since I recorded my last video so if you are wondering about my ON then I can tell you it is basically the same blurriness. Yet internally I am feeling pretty good :)
