Hi Sylvia,
I haven't experienced the same sensation in my knees - I just get pain and aching in mine - and that is just the one knee.
I think there is a fine line between fighting the arther and listening to your body. If you stop in time, then your body recovers after a rest or by the next day ... if you don't you risk it flaring up ...
Make sure you put your feet up now, a bit of the old RICE treatment might help .. (rest, ice, compression, elevate.)
Did you get some good bargains in Lidl?!!
SpeedalongI have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.0 -
hi often feel good while doing something but it gets you . but it the difference a day makes that gets me some days can do much more than others and then arther bites when you least expect it lolval0

hi sylvia,
to get the best out of us, we're supposed to do 50-75% of what our body can do, then stop and rest, then do the next lot of 50-75%, which may be lesnow, as you've done one lot of activity.
if you can pace in this manner, you may get more done, then if you tried to finish the job you had started. so if you need to walk, you need to plan to stop well before you need the rest.
pls try this, as i hope it will help you

i used to get those feelings and more when i was at work till i could do it no more as it was taking longer and longer to setttle down ,i still get it but try and remember my limits and crutches have realy helped as they take the strain if you know what i mean , hot and cold packs worked wonders for me , pacing your self is very important i hope yours is easying up a bit with rest xxI know i am a lady ,all life is a journey xx MAY xx0
