Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I thought I’d get some crowd-sourced advice for this common problem from those who have seen the territory.
Late 50s male. Normal weight range.
For decades now I’ve been an avid walker, not a runner, getting my 10,000 steps 4-5 times per week.
About a month ago a slight pain appeared in my right knee joint, perhaps a bit more toward the inside of my leg than the outside. I thought, “Huh, that’s a new one.”
Since then, I’ve kept up my walking routine but pain is slightly stronger when I’m at rest, from a 1 to about a 4 this morning. So far, while I’m out walking it feels fine.
LOL. Maybe I’m answering my own question. DW says go to the sports medicine clinic. I want to but would prefer to wait until the new year to contribute toward next year’s deductible (boring recent insurance change/deductible reset story there).
Could I keep doing my thing as normal until January or should I go see the doc ASAP before this gets worse? Thanks for your advice.
