PT appt.
Basically my IT band is too tight and it’s getting caught on the bone when I bend my leg. It’s a result of all of the running I’ve been doing. I haven’t been stretching before I run or after and my knee muscles are weak. So the PT gave me some stretches and exercises to do. I really think it will fine after a few weeks. My body just isn’t used to all this exercise, I love it, lol. My knee already does feel better, still a little funny but basically better.
He said the popping and cracking probably is tendonitis and it’s really no big deal. Just ice when needed. This is really just all a part of running and my legs. No reason to stop, only more reason to build my muscles up. He said my patello is fine and doesn’t move around too much and he showed me why. That was probably the best "doctor" appt, I’ve had in a while. So unless something serious happens in the next couple of weeks, I’ll say problem solved.
I really want to concentrate on my leg mucles now. I can’t wait until I can do lunges again, ok that sounds weird, but I want to get stronger and that will take hard work.. ie, lunges.
