I guess i didn't write much about my knee. So its patellofemoral pain syndrome, had it long enough i dont remember when it started lol. Generally standing still on the same spot is painful after a while, as well as walking after a certain distance. Ive had xrays and mris recently, a little fluid and a bone spur, i guess an early sign of osteo. And knee surgeon looked at it and said theres nothing to do. Before hitting gym i was wearing a knee brace a lot and had a constant limp. So since it responds to exercise, hes sending me for physio in like 6 months(free) and if it responds good he will put a camera in to see what the problem is, and why does it respond to exercise but gets so bad i limp if no exercis. Been like 12 years, 3 or 4 years ago was the worst of it.
The reason i prefer the stairmill over treadmill is stairmill the first 20 min are hell on my knee, but rails to hold for my back, next 40 mins are bearable after that. Treadmill by 60min im straight up limping and im holding both rails to take weight of right leg. And i limp around gym, the pain goes away with resting for a bit before working out.
My knee holds me back from cardio in general, my back restricts running or jogging because of the impact felt.
Sorry, back story is a bit long.
