 Poster: A snowHead
|
Had a trip to the fridge last night and did a couple of hours. First time I've skied since Feb 2020. I have been a bit lax recently too with exercise and haven't done squats/lunges etc for well over a month. (ps. lesson learned, I won't go skiing again without prep work!).
Whilst skiing, I couldn't get over the sensation that if felt like my knee, or more accurately my knee cap, needed to click (like cracking your knucles). The exact point was just under each knee cap and to the side (the inside of each leg). When I was getting changed later, the same area looked a little puffy.
No other symptoms. My knees feel absolutely fine now. No swelling. No pain. No feeling like it needs to click.
Any ideas what that could be? And is that something I should be getting checked out?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Explanation 1: Welcome to getting old, where you get transitory symptoms, that come from nowhere - and often disappear as mysteriously.
Suggestion 2: Ease into fitness. Use Trigger point roller on Hips/Gluts/IT bands/Quads/Hamstrings/Calves/Shins. Use Golf Ball on sole of feet.
If symptom still there after a month - see Physio or Osteopath.

Thanks all.
I shall take an extra 5 ml of MTFU, do some more exercise and just crack on.

Before you go skiing hold your patella between your thumb and index finger with some gentle pressure. Then lift your leg up and down between 180 degrees and 90 degrees while being seated. That should do it!

Cracking like a Glow Stick is all part of the fun of getting old.
