5,404 steps yesterday. Surprised as my knee was really aching most of the day. It was a rainy day so maybe that was why it ached so much?

5,421 steps yesterday. Knee was better yesterday and today feels even better. But I am going to make a quick grocery run (figure the store will be pretty empty this morning being Mother's Day) so I may wreck my knee all over again...le sigh.

5,929 steps yesterday. Knee was achy and I didn't push it at all so this number was a pleasant surprise. Especially because the grocery shopping really did make knee hurt for a few hours after.

Taking the day off. Had a wakey night, so don't feel up to it.

5,582 steps yesterday.

My knee flared up so badly in the afternoon, I couldn't even think of driving the garbage up to the road or picking up the Salonpas from the mailbox.  My neighbor is going to get them for me this morning. I don't know what caused it but it was awful. It seems  better today but it did yesterday morning too, so I am going to do as little as possible until I get a patch on.

Yes, you should rest and lie low for the time being. Take care.

Amazingly the Salonpas patch worked wonders today. My box says take off at 8 hours (apply no more than 3-4 times a day) on another form a gal said the last 12 hours per instructions. Must be different strengths. Knee felt best ever during the day and after took off the patch this evening there is no pain at all. Don't know how long it will last but will try to fit in 2 doses tomorrow. Still took it pretty easy though.

5,394 steps yesterday.

Put another patch on overnight. Knee feels pretty good today. The only complaint I might have is the menthol/camphor smell is pretty strong. Think I will stick with the one patch during the day and one overnight. The patches are definitely the best thing I've tried!

That's great news. Anything that helps.

Yesterday I had clocked 190 cal by increasing incline a bit, and then another round in the evening for which I don't have the numbers.

4,687 steps yesterday. Fell asleep in the recliner for a couple of hours in the evening. Have to run 3 quick errands today so that may help today's count.

7,093 steps yesterday. Wow! My knee is feeling better than it has in a long time. I ordered more of the patches to have them on hand longer. I'll keep using them as long as they keep working!
