ouch!! Yours sounds very, very painful. I am an exercise fanatic too, and that is another thing that has really gotten me down. I have been doing as much yoga stretching and strength training as I can. And yes, I see exactly what you mean about training oneself to walk the right way again without a limp. When I realize I'm limping I try to correct that. I think one of the other comments hit the nail on the head too about patella tracking. I kept telling my husband it feels like my kneecap is dislocating, and when I read that comment this morning I figured that must be my problem. This morning it feels like the patella is slipping and it's making it hard for me to walk w/o limping. It is quite frustrating when one is so used to running up and down steps all day long, walking, treadmilling, elliptical-ing, step machine, etc. I have lost almost all muscle tone in my left leg as a result of this injury/surgery. I appreciate everyone's comments. I think I will try icing it off and on and see if that will help the heat and swelling, and maybe when that resolves I will be better able to move it and perhaps then the soreness and stiffness will ease off.
