    Unhappy Finally age seems to be catching up on me...

    So I was doing some circuit training yesterday and my right leg literally felt like it was about to fall off at the knee!

    I've had a chronic condition of what seems to be patella tendonitis for the last 6 or 7 years and suddenly over the last few weeks it's massively deteriorated, culminating with yesterday. Anyway today I've been booked in for an MRI - I have this feeling I'm gradually falling apart at the seams - I feel like an aged cripple - next stop: mobility scooter...

    Besides that, I'm sorry to hear that - you are as far as I know a bit younger than me and I assume that it must suck pretty much not being able to do what you previos could so early

    Maybe it isn't the right time to tell you that I'm still attending classes in riverdance

    With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

    Sorry to hear it, man. I've also had a few age related things pop up in the last few years which was an entirely new experience for me.

    Do you run/jog for exercise? Or do some other high impact activity?

    If you are overweight, for how long have you been?

    High impact activity? Do you count when he has a sheep pushed up to a cliff ledge?

    I am 36 and my knees seem to be giving up too. I feel like my life is ending when I think of never being able to play basketball again.
    There were a lot of instances lately of people asking me what is wrong with me. I guess I look depressed or something. It sucks!

    Any ideas when we can expect scientists to come up with spare parts for knees?
    Quendelie axan!

    With such viral bias, you're opinion is thus rendered useless. -Shrapnel12, on my "bias" against the SS.
    I've never understood how God could expect his creatures to pick the one true religion by faith — it strikes me as a sloppy way to run a universe.

    Apart from my stupid knee I am close to being as fit as I've ever been - the only thing holding me back is my knee. It's so frustrating! I thought it was getting better as I thought I knew what the problem was, but now I'm wondering if there's something else?

    How about swimming for awhile until the knee heals? You could also use an elliptical machine.
