Serious Knee Problems | Wraps?
I am having serious knee problems on my right leg. It started out like a grinding noise when I walk up stairs - now it is to the point where I can hardly walk up stairs. I do not feel the pain doing cardio on a bike or walking on a treadmill, nor while working out Quads/Hams. But when I hit that certain angle outside the gym - shit hurts!
I have kept off elbow and shoulder pain pretty well - but this knee problem is getting to be quite crippling. I have already skipped a leg workout for fear it would get worse. I normall do higher reps for quadriceps - about 12-15. But even so, using over 1000lbs on the Leg Press is taking it's toll...
Is there a point where you have to wrap your knees? Does the muscle simply become so strong that the connective tissue can no longer support the load? I know that a common theory is not to wrap your knees so tendons and ligaments can adapt - but is there a cap to that theory? A point where you simply have to wrap?
I did start some EFA's and Glucosamine before resorting to anti-inflamatories.
Thonks!
