Subject:	whats the best way to fix knee?? foods to build cartilage?
Date:	February 2, 2012 at 1:23 pm PST

hi , im 33 male active surfer, hiker, etc. i twisted my knee one year ago and kept
working. now i have seen the doc who sez possible torn meniscus. i went onto
crutches 6 weeks ago and am feeling much better. i will probable pay to go to a
physical therapist soon to help fix it.. but they are expensive. i purchased a
foamroller after watching youtube.. and it reeally has helped since i began rolling
out the i.t. band and hamstringe. my whole leg feels pulled. at the top of the calf
etc. i have been icing and hotpaks and strectching out the hamstring. i think its
getting better but i was wondering if you had any tips on foods to build cartilage
or exercises that might help me heal. what is your opinion of ultrasound or
infrared saunas? maybe i have i.t. band syndrome, because the pain has moved
around my knee as it heals, first medial meniscus, the sub patellar, then back of
the knee... maybe a bruised knee capsule? im not going to do surjury. i want to
get a thighmaster to build up my adductors because it seems like the outside of
my thigh is much stronger than the inside.
