grrr stupid meatsack

[serinde]

My knee was getting markedly better, so I thought I would walk to the river today, and not push things by attempting to run. And I was happily traipsing along until the block between First and York, where there was the now-familiar *twinge* followed by the even-more-familiar stabbity pain somewhere behind my kneecap. Which does not come on every step, oh no, that would be too simple and perhaps avoidable; no. It hits randomly every third to tenth step, or longer, and doesn't seem to have any direct correspondence to exactly how I am stepping.

It's been indicated to me that I have control-freak issues. My reactions to the vagaries of my body suggest that perhaps this is accurate. But: is it too much to ask that the stupid thing work as advertised ?

This may be a st00pid question, but have you seen a physical therapist about the problem? I generally find them remarkably helpful for dealing with that sort of issue.

Wow, that's sucky. I had that experience once (had pulled my shoulder so badly that I could barely dress myself, couldn't get an appointment for a month). Have you considered a private-pay session to get you going until you can see the Officially Sanctioned person?

I will refrain from turning this into one of my patented rants about how evil managed care is...........
