Knee-Cap Pain

Ok, so I've failed to mention this before, but I've been having issues with my left knee-cap as of late. It started about four weeks ago when I would do my daily speed walk...After a quick Internet search it appeared that my pain was as a result of over-use. A pocket of water and inflammation builds up behind the patella thus cause aching and swelling.

Yesterday I went to the doctor (despite my hatred for visits) and he confirmed the problem: overuse. Seems 4-8 miles of walking per day isn't doing the old bones any favours. So, I have to cut down the walking, wear a tensor and do some rest and relaxation.


Bah.
