So.. I have tendonitis in my left knee.. being a nurse, i am on my feet at least 10 hours out of the day. Ive been to the doctor, Im taking my Advil/ Aleve/ ice packs, with some relief. What im curious is if any one knows any exercises that wont strain my knee to much? I took about a week off and felt terrible (i LOVE to work out and the endorphins it gives me) I did a slow spin on the recumbant cycle today at the gym with only a little irritation, but am looking for other alternatives :) thanks in advance!
