I’ve heard weird things from athletes as far as injury reusey of the joints go.
One guy says to put ice on the joints after interests & the other tells me not to use ice at all.
I am more of a proponent of ice but now I am wondering if it is helping or hurting me. I do know that using sugar in my diet causes more pain, so I have detached all sugar from my diet except that which is found in fruits & veggies, and my friend said to stop all dairy too, but that’s too much. Heat pumps were easily tough to carry when I was eating a lot of sugar, as my knees hurt so much that I found it impossible to bend down to labor on the Heating & Air Conditioning equipment each day. Now my knees are a lot better & I am finding that I can do a lot of things that I wasn’t able to do before when I was eating sugar all of the time. Air conditioners, especially those mini split a/c units, are not straight-forward to carry up stairs when your knees hurt, so stopping the pain was imperative for me to keep my job working for the new supplier in our town. I am residing overseas & don’t have the aid of my family to help me, so being on my own is even tougher when I am in pain like that & can’t do a lot of things that I normally can do. I feel better now thanks to my cooling specialist friend who told me about quitting the sugar.
