Cannot wait to work out!

Mar 14, 2011

I really never thought I would be writing that I can't wait to work out, but here I am writing it and meaning it.  I had a cortisone injection in my knee last Monday, and this Monday no pain except for a dull ache in my knee remains.  It is amazing!  I feel like maybe by Wednesday I can start slowly working out again.  The Doctor has determined that it was an overuse injury.  Never thought I would have an overuse injury, but apparently 45 minutes on the elipitical machine is too much at least at the weight i am right now.  He wants me to to limit my activity to 20 minutes 3-4 times a week to treadmill or bicycle right now and see if there is any pain.  He also says I can walk around on the ground as much as I want and swim as much as I want.  I guess I have to go slower for now, MD said to only add 5 minutes every week, up to 30 minutes 5 days a week, then stop...The pain from my knee is fresh in my mind so I will listen very carefully and revisit the elipitical at a later date!  Hope everybody is doing well.  Sherry
