The body is amazing in its recuperative ability<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m seldom sick or injured. Each time\u00a0 is a wake up call. Yesterday I was glancing at both my knees and realizing for the first time in a week my right knee isn’t swollen at all. I can bend it with no pain and no stiffness. I can’t believe just 3 days ago it was so swollen I was concerned enough to ask a doctor buddy about it. Two weeks ago at the gym, I managed to oversquat in poor form and slightly injured it.\u00a0 Instead of staying off the leg, I kept exercising it for another week, until it began to stiffen up on me as it filled with fluid.\u00a0\u00a0 The fix was to keep it raised above my heart for 3-4 hours each day and not exercise it, only regular walking maybe 2500 steps a day, plus magnesium oil<\/a> the last two days. I used my Nano wand<\/a> each evening and have eaten light for 3 days so my energy can go to healing rather than prolonged digestion.\u00a0 To reduce the inflammation, I did two ibuprofen a day for 3 days. It feels fine right now, a little tender but just barely. Our bodies are amazing in their recuperative powers! I feel I\u2019ve gotten a second chance so I won\u2019t be being frivolous with my knees.\u00a0 That way they can last me another 63 years.<\/p>\n
