Cooks Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 well I 'twanged' my knee (I need a a better word but cant find one) I was running my normal 2.5 mile run and was about 2 miles in when a twang went inside my knee!!! I have been laid up on the sofa really since. I cant bend my knee too well, so oldest son suggests I take up walking like a penguin.. have iced and elevated it, not too much swelling just pain when it bends.

jlo Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Ouch!! Poor you. Lots of rest should help. If you don't mind, I will be using you as yet another excuse as to why I am putting off starting running (actually I wobble rather than run!) again!

Falkor Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 thanks hubby has been cleaning! there are some benefits Does he have his pinny and rubber gloves on? Feel better Lynsey!!!! xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Poor you, Cookie . Hope it's not painful enough to stop you sleeping tonight . I agree, running is dangerous. I tripped & landed on my face and hand a couple of years ago. Broke 2 bones in my hand and had bruising from forehead to neck (very fetching ). Six weeks off work was a bonus though .

Cooks Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 ouch ANH that sounds painful! Funny you should mention sleeping, I had the worst night sleep last night I think I have ever had, I am hoping to sleep better tonight. Thanks all, no sorry Em hubs wasn't wearing a pinny and rubber gloves lol although the thought of him in them had me in a fit of giggles. lol chooks are still being cared for by me as I cant bear to not see them, I just limp/hop out to them.
