Exercising With Knee Pain
Posted on July 10, 2007 and filed under OC Register Q & AAbout 5 years ago, I had knee surgery, and ever since, I can’t get my
Body back into the wonderful shape it was prior to the surgery. Since the surgery, I’ve gained 10 pounds, which I can’t seem to shake. I continue to regularly lift weights and include cardio into my lifestyle, but I’m wondering if I’m having “trust” issues with my knee. I hesitate to lift the kind of weight I was lifting prior to the surgery, and whenever I go running, I slow to a walk whenever my knee starts to hurt. I’m a very active female, 38 years old, am 5′ 10″ and weigh 144. I want my old body back. What do I do?
Sincerely,
Chris
