I almost started a thread about my aching knee in GD...

[Misunderestimator]

...good thing I realized it wasn't worth posting before I hit Post (and then realized I wasn't in the Lounge). But since I'm here anyway... it hurts like the dickens!! :mad:

[jswordy]

1. I hear ya...my right one has been blown out dozens of times.

Finally had the surgery, that made it quite a bit better. Still aches when I exert it, though. I am disappointed I can't tell the weather by it, I wanted that benefit of getting older. LOL.

2. ice it ...

3 or 4 times a day for 20 to 30 minutes ...

add in some ibuprofen ...

you'll be kicking field goals again in no time ...

3. Next time only put so far as your ankle up the movers' asses

;-)

[Misunderestimator]

4. LMAO!! That must be IT!

[progmom]

5. What did you do to it?

My right knee is aching -- I blame my new favorite torture device:

6. I love the elliptical

i used to do the stairmaster, but that really is hell on your joints!

8. JJ's been inspiring me

I'm a terribly competitive person, so if she tells me she burned 500 calories in 38 minutes, I have to try and beat her. :P

[Misunderestimator]

10. I bumped it a few days ago while I was stupidly moving furniture...

but it only started hurting last night. I suppose ibuprofen is the secret for now...

Love your torture device... I'll be setting up my treadmill and my recumbant bike right next to my desk in the new house.

[progmom]

17. Ibuprofen is my friend

Ibuprofen and ice.

So is your house empty now? I picture you sitting on the floor in front of a laptop propped up on a cardboard box...

[Misunderestimator]

20. Fortunately no...

My ex is keeping whatever we bought together and her own stuff, so, though the dining room, living room, spare bedroom, study and exercise room are empty now... there's still some furniture. Right now, I'm sitting on the lanai by the swimming pool, enjoying my last few days of Florida.

Now that other picture might just happen on the other side. I am hoping that my furniture arrives on schedule, but not going to worry about it now.

:hi:

(and I just took a couple of ibuprofen... )

7. you'd have had to edit the subject line for it to stay in GD...

"Terry Schiavo, my knee hurts"

or

"I stubbed my knee on the PNAC coffee table"

or

"Shrub kicked me in the knee cap, that bastard!"

[Misunderestimator]

11. LOL....

"My knee is in a vegetative state, should I feed it"

[BigMcLargehuge]

14. "My knee hurts... LOOK!!! CHEMTRAILS!!!"

[Misunderestimator]

15. "Did Intelligent Design make my knee cramp?"

[BigMcLargehuge]

16. "Creationists object to my painful knee..."

[Misunderestimator]

21. "DUers.... please offer prayers for the pope and my knee"

[BigMcLargehuge]

22. "Reactions to the Michael Jackson Trial, from my knee"

[Misunderestimator]

23. "My knee looks like the Shroud of Turin"

[katinmn]

9. My left knee has been sore for 5-6 weeks now.

I start each day with some ibuprofen. Most days it helps.

Hurt it doing leg curls at the gym. Should have stuck with only running like I've done for the past 10 years.

No more weight machines for me.

[sundog]

12. I really don't think this is appropriate lounge material...

it belongs in 2004 Election Results & Discussion Forum for sure :P

[Misunderestimator]

13. Hahaha.... no way...

can you imagine how I would have been shot down for posting "silly" stuff there... as if what's there isn't usually much more silly... :)

[tigereye]

19. it might have been a welcome respite from other things!

hope you feel better. Ibuprofen is the "food of the gods" as far as I am concerned, especially since age and experience seem to mean more aches and pains. Hope your move is going well!

[mondo joe]

18. If you did I would have advocating removing your feed tube!

Just so you know...
