I saw my chiropractor today. Have had problems for a long time with my left knee. Couple months ago it was really aggravated, he checked it and said it was an LCL sprain. It had plenty of time to heal, seemed a little better than over the last month and 1/2 it's been sore not some of the time but all of the time, especially when I'd get up from sitting. I usually go to him every couple months, doesn't hurt especially with the job I do. He tested my knee and found the problem, the fibula head was out of place! He worked on it and got it back in, I felt it pop in. So I'm icing, keeping an elastic brace on, and have to avoid any twisting, which is hard to do when working, and hunting, and hiking. My concern is how long has it been riding out of the groove and what damage it did...hopefully minimal.

College intramural sports and hunting/hiking in the past is catching up to me...or is it age? lol:p

just stop falling down. lol

LOL. Was thinking the same thing. Some of the older members probably remember your frequent accident stories, seems like someone suggested you wrap yourself in bubble wrap.

All I can say is...it isn't an age thing yet! Body parts usually don't start failing until you are close to 50. After that...watch out!

Would not think your age should be the problem yet either Ruth. Think that how rough you are on your body and how you take care of yourself plays a big role though. Seems to be more known going on with genetic problems that contribute to joint pains/problems nowadays too.

Depends on how athletic you were back in the day. I already have arthritis ( however it's spelled ) in my right shoulder joint from baseball and weight lifting. Also have it in my lower back from when I broke it in the 4wheeler wreck. Weather changes kill me as well as over use. I'm only 25. One thing that helped my shoulder has been cortisone injections. Get well Ruth!
