I have been doing the exercises suggested by Julie three days in a row now. The good news is that I'm learning muscle anatomy first hand by feeling a little sore in muscles that I had never really felt before... hamstrings, glutes...!!
I have been icing the knees also.
My right knee seems to be stable in its pain, it is not getting worse. (I have not biked or taken walks at all)
The not so good news is that my left knee seems to be getting a little more painful... over my kneecap now. This is in addition to the medial side pain. I have heard a tiny crackling noise when I bent the knee if I squat.
Also I find it hard to do the Hip flexor stretching. I feel better when I rest my knee on a blanket to soften the surface.
The other good news is that I am feeling more determined to be patient, but to persist in handling this and getting on with the weight lifting.
