Q: sore knee after workout
asked by: QuincyRuth on March 1st, 2008

I haven't been getting to the gym as much as usual. The other night I did my leg workout and woke up the next morning with the inside of my knee "twinging". It got worse as the day progressed. It got a little better when I got home from work and took off my heeled boot-shoes.

48 more hours have passed. I thought it felt better this morning until I got out of bed! It does not seem to be getting any better.
I probably should have put ice on it the first 2 nights.
Now maybe I should put heat on it?
i'm guessing I should rest as much as possible this weekend and keep my leg up (easier said then done). I'm close to 60 yrs.

My worry is that I strained something doing the machine for inner thighs where you push weights together with your legs (knees).
I don't think a ligament or whatever is torn because I think I would feel sharper pain.

Thanks for any advice.
Ruth

inner side of knee sore
I put on an ACE bandage and thought it helped at first but took it off today because I thought it might be making things worse.
