Unexplainable?

[Guest guest]

At my visit to the OS on Monday, he did some pretty hard twisting on my

Patella. After the visit I made myself ride a stationary bike on a

high resistance level even though it hurt. The next morning, I did the

exercise where you try and bend your leg backwards. I did it so hard

that I would lift my entire weight off the ground.

I have been twising the patella myself while I try to squat to see if

it is less painful if I push it to the right or left. (Result is not

conclusive)

Now, I am having less pain. I even jogged to the coffee machine this

AM.(About 30 feet)

I still cannot go up or down the stairs very gracefully and I having

fits with my hip after I walk 1/4 mile or so. So, I know my gait is

not right.

I relly don't know what made it better? Could be the OS scared me with

the Fulkerson talk?

I still have a visit with a second OS on Monday.

Do you you guys go through cycles of more then less pain?

I am wondering if after 5 months and 1 week, if I am just not recovered

from the Lateral Release?
