My knees/hips/calves have been giving me trouble again lately and so I'm now seeing a physical therapist. Apparently my left knee cap is more towards the outside then it should be, my right calf muscle is amazingly tight and I have weak hips. Aside from feeling like my legs are a little wobbly after doing the exercises, it hasn't been too bad till yesterday.
She took something that was like a rod and moved like a rolling pin and rolled it up and down the outsides of both of my thighs. Apparently my IT bands are really tight. I know this because it was like being repeatedly stabbed in the thighs. That was fun. My thighs were sore for the rest of the night (which included a lot of ice and heat including a very long bath) not to mention one of the new exercises that she had me do did something weird to my back. I didn't notice till later that day but sitting sometimes makes it feel like the nerves are randomly twitching. I am definitely not enjoying this It's crappy timing too because today is the day the school is closed so I can just sit and do mostly nothing. Usually nice except for on the one day that I really don't want to sit for long periods of time. I can wander around the office if I want but without something to do that involves wandering. And of course i just used an ice pack from work and it leaked all over the front and side of my knee. This physical therapy thing better help or I'm going to be very irritated with all the efforts.
