I have two really bad knees. One (the right) has had all the ligaments repaired. The left is full of arthritis and Lord knows what else. I should probably go have them looked at, but I'm not ready for a knee replacement just yet.
The problem is, not that they hurt--they don't much--but that they seem so unstable and I'm afraid they will fail me and I will fall.
This is what getting older is like--it's always SOMETHING worrying you.
With the snow and ice I really feel unstable.
I wear Copper sleeves on both knees--before Bern bought them for me I was using a cane.
Whenever I go out, I really am afraid of falling.\
Not a good feeling, believe you me.
Alas.
I'll go to the doctor in the Spring, I promise you.
Until then I'll walk tentatively.
