    I had to stop doing 30DS. It absolutely killed my knees. I don't think I even made it a week. If you already had lower back problems and now you're talking about a pain going straight down your leg then it could be your nerve. My fiance has had back surgery and before that he went through hell and back. He was having the same problem and that was 1 of them....the nerve. Good luck to you and I hope you start to feeling better.
    No, it is not sciatic pain. The pain is localized to the outside of my right knee, which is the meniscus area. Sciatic pain runs through the sciatic nerve that goes straight down the middle of your thigh and through your knee. That I do get with my back injury, but it's 2 completely different types of pains and inabilities to move.

    I figured I'd post again here.

    I went to an ortho specialist localized in the knee/leg. X-rays are clear, but where my pain is localized... they are pretty sure it's a partial or full tear in my lower meniscus. I'm waiting to get approved for an MRI. From there it's PT or surgery. GREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!

    This guy is good too. He was like "Let me guess... weights and squats and lunges?"
    LOL
    So sorry to hear this.

    I had a prior knee injury that flares up with change if weather, certain movement and for no reason. I did 30DS in 6 weeks and am now on my 4th week of Extreme shed and shred. No problems here, and my knee has actually never felt better! Don't push yourself and do the alternative move if you have to. You could actually do a standing jack if jumping jacks are too hard on your knee

    I can't do anything, lol. I just went for an MRI and I have a possible meniscus tear from this damn DVD. My body just can't handle it and I'm not willing to risk anything further for the sake of quick weight loss. Slow and steady this time around!
