I've had the strangest pain in my knee. I search the forum and I can't find anything in the forum describing it.
to go over the basics. I have started building "healthy habits" regularly about a month ago. ive been doing great too went to my doctor and got the go ahead for dieting (primal) and fitness (body weight, free weight, and cardio). I am a bit over-weight although I am strong and energetic. 200 lb 5'3" female in case it matters. i've been starting small because i want to take off a few pound before I get heavy into the strength training. I'm working to avoid newbie issues. sprint for a very short time once a week. weight exercises three times week, very light and short sets. long walk once a week. rest every ther day. all my exercises are deliberately light because i don't want to get injured due to my excess weight. i actually lost 10 pounds so far and i've noticed i improved my strength and endurance. i've been very careful about my form when i exercise. but mostly i'm just building the HABITS right now. that being said...
i've seen a strange pain happening in my left knee. when i turn wrong, when walking or shift my weight slightly wrong when weight training, my knee will suddenly hurt, bad. usually it will go away nearly immediately when i rest for a few seconds. it even happens suddenly when i'm taking my weekly walk (2-3 miles. whatever i feel like.). it even happened when i simply got out of bed. i literally stood up and then promptly did a face plant. (GOOD MORNING!) but the pain doesn't linger, there's no other symptom i can see. it has been getting progressively more frequent. i stop exercising because i want to avoid aggravating whatever this is. one doctor said it was arthritis (wtf!?), another said it was because i was sleeping wrong (double wtf!?).
I did have sciatic nerve pain when i was pregnant with my son five years ago. i had to carry a cane just in case. it was bad. but both doctors said that wasn't it when i brought it up. although it seems like that would be it, the sciatic pain i felt while pregnant was in my whole leg. this pain now is only in my knee, no where else.
i am delaying the doctors opinions on purpose. i live in a small town and they get "chronic illness = chronic med" happy. so i have to be careful. (once was diagnosed with asthma after a 10 minute visit and the prescribed albuterol nearly killed me. it was actually anxiety attacks.)
anybody else experienced this kind of knee pain?
