This knee thing is like a chinese puzzle. Is it this or is it that? I got the orthotics and I put them in. I did a bit more standing yesterday. It hurt but not as bad as it had and I was encouraged. Today I having been hurting a fair amount and so I have to wander down the hall of mirros with so many variables. Id this normal? They said it would take 2 weeks to 2 months to break these in but do I trust the prosthetist? Was it the exercise I did this am which was not good and I could feel that it hurt as I moved into it.Is it nothing all that mechanical but rather that I am just so inflamed due to inflammation generally that I am not reacting to these new variables as a non-IC knee patient would?

It is hard to sit with the puzzle. It is easy to feel that I will never steer my way out of the morass of never ending variables.I guess all I have to do for tonight is figure out whether and what to do until bedtime.

One thing for sure. It is better to have sore knees than a panic attack and I want to stay here.
