Knee doctor visit, take 2

[jennythereader]

I had my follow-up visit with the knee doctor today. He didn't really have anything new to say. Just keep doing the exercises that the PT taught me, and keep trying to lose weight. He did point out that I need to stop thinking of climbing stairs as good for me. Apparently the damage stairs do to my knees out-weighs the little bit of exercise I get from it.

Most likely they are. Or my left one at least. I only have part of my left kneecap and that part is jagged and digs into the joint when I move it.

The stairs thing sounds odd but it works. Something about the weight the leg is on, that method (according to PT) keeps the majority of your weight on the stronger leg.
