So, I've been doing some stretches and simple exercises to try to improve the flexibility and strength of my knees and surrounding muscles. This morning, I got up and could hardly walk, they hurt so bad. My prescription NSAID barely took the edge off. I took some ibuprofen after lunch, and still nothing. I decided to do the stretching exercises (I had been doing them in the evening), because I was just in so much pain. Guess what? Just simple stretching made my stupid knees feel better and now I can walk a lot easier. WTF? Who would have thought that a couple stretches would help so much more than either presciption or over the counter NSAIDs?
So, from now on, I'm doing the stretches first thing in the morning!
