Oh, your knee feels like buckling?

[mimitchigotchi]

My knee buckled twice today badly. First time I was at physical therapy and my knee buckled while holding onto railing doing a resistance exercise. The second was a minute ago. I got up and started walking too fast and I fell forward onto my knee and I grabbed the wall trying to minimize the damage???? I dunno, I was falling and reached out for something???? 

I kept telling my physical therapist that it felt like it was getting ready to buckle badly. He kept pushing me despite that. He had me put on a heating pad but it didn't do much.

You need to take a day off and eat a lot of meats and stuff
yknow protien
If your legs doing that its usually a sign of overwalking without rest

Yeah. The male physical therapist i see pushes me harder and even said I should ditch the cane because of the stigma after the female one said to use a cane and pushes enough for a work out but not until I hurt super bad. They have me see whoever is available because it's hard to get appointments with it so busy.

Oh! I forgot to mention... As far as diet I'm eating what I can afford cause I already was struggling with em both SSI and EBT. :/ Protein isn't always on the table.

Can you jist leave if he goes too far or is it mandatory?

I kinda don't want to have to try and go elsewhere yet. I'm not sure how the insurance will like it. I'm going to ask my primary doctor if I can have another referral when I see her in December though cause that might be the best way to do it with the insurance. I will mention to someone there that my knee kept buckling after the appointment a few days.

Tell one of the other staff, you honestly might have to avoid it when the others arent available or something

I'll definitely tell someone next time I can. I had to cancel my next visit because I needed to make a ride to pick up medicine instead. w@
