Hi everybody, I’m a 27 y/o female, my SW was 240lbs, after about a week I’m down to 230lbs (love that water weight babey).
I have had chronic knee pain for the past year in my right knee. I’ve gone to the doctor multiple times for it, but after X-rays and an MRI, they couldn’t really find anything wrong with it. So that ruled out arthritis and any tears. They decided to just give me Celebrex and told me to RICE it. Neither of those things worked for me. I couldn’t put weight on it at all. Couldn’t bend it very well either. I had to literally sit in my vegetable garden to pull the weeds.
Last week I decided to start up with CICO and a 30-45min walk a day, only because I’m sick of the weight I’m at, but it came with some really unexpected benefits... My knee feels normal again. I mean completely better, like I can kneel and do normal shit now.
To me, it seems like a paradox. I really went into this thinking it would mess with my joints more, but no... Walking leisurely for 30mins a day cured my knee pain. I think even if my new lifestyle takes a nosedive, I will continue to take my 30 minute walks everyday.
So, if you can, if you’ve talked to your competent doctors and ruled out other dangers, go for a walk! It really is good for you, it just took me 27 years to figure that out 😂
Best wishes, everyone!
