mildly hurt

[netmouse]

So we lost the softball game on Tusday and to add injury to insult, I hurt myself. I seem to have pulled something along the back of my right knee. The leg doesn't much like straightening. I figure maybe I overextended it from a dead stop while running bases, since I always lead off with that leg. It hurts along the back right at the top of the calf and rught at the connecting part above the knee.

working all day at a job that requires constant standing (or walking! bonus!) with a bum knee is really tiring. I kept finding myself with all my weight on my left leg, which rapidly wore out.

I'm trying not to do that and not to limp too much. Swinging my hips a little seems to help. I don't know anything about this type of injury. I ced it for 20 minutes before I left the game. It seems pretty minor, but advice would still be appreciated if anyone has any.

Hmmm... afraid I can't be much help. All of my knee problems have been on the sides, and hurt only hurt when I put weight on them while straightening. Sorry. However, yeah, ice is good. Ibuprofen is good. Limping isn't all THAT bad. Generally, just take care of yourself. If you're tired, try to rest. If you're hurting, try to avoid what you're doing to hurt it for a little while. If your body tries to avoid certain movements, try to avoid them. If you're thirsty, drink lots of water. You're body knows what it needs (and what it doesn't want) and will let you know.
