Physio Day

Went to see the physio today and after some moving and pressing on my leg, she thinks I've got weakened muscle around my knee on the inner side. She found the area that hurts, pressed on it a lot and you could hear my knee cracking. She says that the weakened muscle is preventing my knee from moving in a straight line and is in fact moving at a slight angle, which is making the knee crack and is weak. So I have to go for an x-ray for my peace of mind she says and then I can start some physio with her to get the knee strengthened up again. She also aid there is no reason why I can't go back to the gym or start cycling again. So I plan to start the gym at the weekend, hopefully it will be a little quiet so that I can slowly get my knee working and the fact it is a new gym and got to get used to the place too! Can't wait!

The End Of The Weekend

It's been a funny old week. My back is better after last week, only 2 days of slight pain so me thinks that my back is getting stronger as the recovery period is getting shorter. Maybe one day I won't have back problems at all! My knees have been aching too, mostly my left one and I think it is a bit of rheumatism as it has been cold and wet yet again, I put a heat pack on my left knee and is a lot better now. Hopefully will soon go away and can get back to normal. I had a workout with Steve again today and worked our chests and a bit of back so everything is fine there! I'm going to try and get to the gym every day this week and start to get more muscle built. I got weighed at the gym and have stayed the same for weeks now around 78kg. I asked if this was right and Steve reckoned it was, he said that if I was losing weight then I'd need to eat more but seeing I'm staying the same then fat is being replaced by muscle. I sure hope so!
