    There is still the option to get collagen injections in your knee. Might want to ask about it.

    Doc mentioned that as an option depending on how things go. He said insurance will pay for them after we've tried cortisone first.

    Do you know people it's worked for? My son had them and didn't think they did much and were quite painful.

    I've had 3 that had it done, however they were lightly active people. All 3 said there was relief and that they although they are repeat treatments, the relief for the time it lasts is worth it to them. I don't know what the results would be for someone who's much more active.

    Hello and HHD!!!!

    Strength: Shortcut to size, month 2, Week 1, do over Chest, Triceps and Calves

    Cardio: None

    I'm back! have not worked out in almost 4 weeks while I was away visiting family! so today's workout just about killed me! but it was so good to be back to what I love doing!
    seems I have lost strength while away, and I was such naughty eater too, so, gained some weight as a result, but that's nothing to worry about, I am determined to get to even a better shape than my pre-holiday! have to put those extra calories I eat to good use!

    Nice to see you back @MSJFH, we missed you! I'm sure you'll get back into your routine in no time and I think sometimes it's not a bad idea to take a break!

    @niner, I love white elephant gift parties. We do that every year with my husband's side of the family. I got two 4.5 lbs blocks of chocolate from Trader Joe's this year, one milk and one dark. Luckily my daughter was able to re-gift them to a couple of her friends so they're gone. SPAM!!! Not sure I'd know what to do with that.

    Took a rest day today and going back to the gym in the morning.

    Happy Hump Day!

    Haha! Being Asian and growing up with it, Spam, eggs and rice are a STAPLE in just about every Asian diet.

    Hah, I think I knew that, but for me Spam was not on my top 10 list, even though we ate it growing up, my kids never have......LOL

    Tradition is important though!
