Rehabing a knee is not fun and games

So the surgery for a torn meniscus isn't bad, really. The recovery was pretty painless and I was back on my feet in no time, literally.

I'd say I was 95% better within 10 days.

This last 5% is driving me nuts, tho.... It's not the knee so much as the hamstring, which has decided to act up. Did I pull it when I was stretching as I so faithfully do now? Don't know.

All I know is this: if I don't do anything, exercise-wise, for a couple days, it's fine. As soon as I stretch or walk for more than 10 minutes, it hurts. In fact, the other night, sitting in a restaurant I had a horrible cramp in that dang hamstring and I had to stick my foot up in my hubby's lap to get it to relax.

So, altho I declined PT for the knee, I will now be getting PT for the hamstring.... due to the rehabbing of the knee.

oy.
