Well its everyone's turn to give me a hard time here is why. I keep telling everyone do not over do it it is going to cause lots of pain and swelling as in extreme pain, mentioned numerous times take it easy if its starts to hurt stop. Well I give good advice however I do not listen to myself yesterday the weather was great I decided to cut my lawn ( maybe a third of an acre ) and instead of cutting half and doing the rest today like an IDIOT I did it all!! Any guesses how I felt I was limping pretty bad by the time I was done. I had lots of pain in my knee as well as lots of pain between the knee and ankle. I could feel the rod inside the tibia moving not fun. Lots of ice and pain meds So okay yeah I have had numerous surgeries and yes I still do stupid things.

      On the positive side....at least you know where the pain came from. I guess that's better than doing nothing and hurting. That's the reason I sold my mower and started having it done, no, that's not entirely true...laziness was the biggest factor.
