Ok so I had bootcamp yesterday and I took it a little easier then normal because I had my doctors appointment with the orthopaedic doctor so I did not want to get crazy. I did still have a great workout and I am sore today from yesterday so I know I still worked hard. So my doctors appointment was not what I expected at all I am actually disappointed that my questions were not answered and that I did not learn anything new. Basically he just took x-rays of my knees and was like oh well your knee caps go outward which is common for female blah blah blah. Thats great and all but my pain is not on the outside of my knees at all its on the inside of my knees which to me seems like tearing and muscles and ligaments but what do I know I am not a doctor. He told me I am not really supposed to run and that I should try not to over do it and I really don't think I liked him very much. He did not seem to listen to me or what I had to say I know where my pain is but I guess I will just keep going to camp and do low impact exercises instead of the high impact because I need to strengthen my muscles around my knee.
So today at bootcamp I did lots of power walking with weights which I love anyways I have always hated running because it does hurt. (I also suck but besides the point) We did pretty much a full body workout and I love being able to work all muscle groups. We used circle bands on arms and we did a partner row exercise which is amazing for triceps and we did ab exercises that were also amazing. I guess I am going to just use wraps on my knees and continue chugging along I know I have pain but I am going to just suck it up and suffer through it hopefully not making them worse. I just have to remember to ice my knees and take care of them. I am not having surgery unless I absolutely have to have to go under the knife.
