I have had a small amount of discomfort (not really pain) in my knee for a long time. Not often. Itg always went awaya. but in the olast couple of weeks I had guests from out of town. We did alot of walking andmh knee was hurting, butg I kept right on until it was really vbery painful. Since then (lastg for days or so) I have been keeping off my that knee as much as possibole. It haws improved a great deal, but it is not gone. I thibnk I should stay off itl I donot like to take any drugs at all. Do you think my instinct to stay off it and give it a chance to heal is a good idea? Ghe rest of me is in good conditiion. I have always been active and am anot overweight, donot use anay akind dof d rugs or even coffee. Your opinion?
