Hawkeye Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I have been diagnosed with bursitis in my knee. Ouch! I'm into my fifth week of limited use and though it is slowly getting better, I still can't use my knee the way I used to. Grrrr! There. Complain-fest over. For all you athletes out there, don't completely ignore joint pain. Rest and ice those painful joints when you notice them to control inflammation and don't skimp on the warm up and stretching before your activities. Hopefully you can minimize debilitating injuries.Good luck in your training. Every timely action will bring results ... Without difficulty. Every untimely endeavor will fail ...

Tengu22 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Joints are probably the worst place for a martial artist to get injured, simply because we use them so much and being that as it is, they take forever to heal!Good luck with the recovery!

Meguro Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Hate being sidelined due to injury. That's a bummer. BTW is the bursitis related to a previous injury, age, excess weight, genes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 thats a very good point i might add check something if it hurts to see for swelling or otherwise. I was playing footie and i didnt every realise that my ankle had gone. I continued to play and because of that it took about a week before the swelling went down i hadpain but i didnt realise it was that bad till i looked at it. Big mistake if you think your foots swollen you shouldnt take your shoe off or you cant get it back on again. The key to everything is continuity achieved by discipline.

Hawkeye Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 Hi, Meguro. I would imagine that age and weight probably factored into the equation as I'm in my thirties and am 6' 1", 223 pounds, but the doctor didn't specify a particular cause beyond "overuse".

Meguro Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 That's a bummer Hawkeye. Just give it as much rest as it requires. Rushing back in to training too soon will only aggravate it, and then you'll have to switch to Tai Chi or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shogeri Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I have reoccuring bursitis in both shoulders.So I feel for ya...It sucks.Just modify what you can, relax more, and do those things that come natural. Never force the issue in regards to pushing your knees or joints to the extreme.It takes time to adjust, but eventually you will. If you are believer in God, then prayers wouldn't hurt either.Good luck!

Hawkeye Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 Hi, Meguro - lol !!Hi, Shogeri. Do you do or take anything to help reduce the inflammation? I've been on fairly hefty daily doses of anti-inflammatories but they have only shown negligible results. Every timely action will bring results ... Without difficulty.
