I have lost 2 lbs. putting me at 193lbs with 68 days to lose another 18 lbs. I played wallyball again on Wednesday evening for the first time in a couple of weeks. For the first 45 minutes, my knees did wonderful as I moved and jumped much like I did 5-10 years ago. The last 45 minutes, I could tell I had possibly overdone myself as my left knee was especially sore.
Now on Friday, my knee is swollen slightly, mostly due to a baker's cyst that forms on the back of my knee when I do too much. It is a little painful, but mostly feels like pressure sitting on the top of my calf. The pressure is greatest when my leg is fully extended. I iced my knee Wednesday and Thursday and should be able to work out again tomorrow on the elliptical machine.
I think I may call my doctor and see if this is something that will always happen, or are there things I can do to prevent it from happening (Knee brace or sleeve, cortisone shot, different exercises, etc.) Hopefully, just continuing my current workout program will be the answer.
