[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was stupid enough to do plyometricks for 2 days in a row followed by high intensity cardio. On Tuesday I developed pain in moth of my knees. It's hurting more and more. An orthopedic surgeon can see me only on Monday. I have a 3-year old and it's my weekend with him. Will I survive? Any recommendations? I just started putting ice and taking Advil. Not sure if kneecaps are dislocated. There is pain in sheens too. [/quote]

I'm guessing that you are not conditioned for HIIT and you went at it hard. I do pretty foolish workouts that would cause major injury to someone who has not built up the supporting muscles and strength for the abuse. I hope you did not do this in some sort of Boot Camp or Personal Traning session because some of those trainers are so ignorant as to how to work with someone new to HIIT. If I ever get even the slightest ache, I always take a week off, so I don't ruin myself for weeks or months on end.  From what you are describing, sounds like you really did some damage. The Advil and ice and keeping off them is all you can do.

In the future, if you want to protect your knees, you should do a shit ton of biking (spin classes). When you strengthen your lower quads it stabilizes and supports your knees. This is why whenenver you have PT for knee issues, they basically put you on a bike. By doing this BEFORE injury, you often won't end up at the PT.[/quote]
