andy100 Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 Thanks for the further replies - I've only just checked back in snd seen this topics risen back up!Well the good news is that even though I've only been averaging one class a week, my muscles have adapted very well and hardly ache at all after training. My general fitness and stamina have definitely improved too.My major problem(s) now are improving my stretching, as I'm still very 'stiff' with leg and abs stretches. Also, my knees and hips have been hurting whilst training and kicking. Today, after training last night, my right knee is very stiff and hurts. As it's always my knees that ache the most in my body (even waking me up once in a while they hurt so much), I'm wondering whether there's an underlying issue that the kickboxing may help or hinder. I walk a lot (5-6 days a week for about 4 miles a day) and wonder whether the impact is damaging my knees? I should say that I have semi-fallen arches to my feet, which I don't know whethet it'd have an effect?Cheers,Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 You may want to get your knees checked out, and begin taking glucosimine/chongroident. That may help. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy100 Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Cheers bushido_man and bigscottius. I'm going to speak to my teacher next class and see if there's anything he can suggest to take it easy on my knees during stretching, and when I see my doc next I'll have them checked out. I guess I'm just getting old & creaky - for a 27 year old!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I am 29, and I have had the creaky knee problem, too. The glucosimine pills have helped a bit. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightOwl Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 hmmm, what are glucosimine pills? I am intrigued! Usually I just stick with an ice pack...

bushido_man96 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Glucosimine helps to lubricate the joints, and the chongroident helps to rebuild the tissue around the joints to some extent, I think. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy100 Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 Well after being relatively ache-free yesterday from my knees and hip pains, I woke up today with it pretty bad. I really need to see my doc about it properly, but is it 'safe' to mention glucosimine to him as an aid? I'm going to go and search for some online right now anyway!Cheers,Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 The doc should know about it, and may recommend it. You don't have to look on-line for it, either; you can get it at just about any retail supercenter, like Wal Mart, or even at a pharmacy. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy100 Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 Well that's good then. I'm in the UK, but will search it out! Actually, I've seen some good deals on it online too. Cheers for the advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
