OK, in light of Blanche's insight I have taken to stretching after walking, since the muscles and whatnot are warm. That seems to really help.
Interesting knee history. About 2 months ago out of nowhere my knee made a LOUD popping sound and I could not stand on it. At all. Couldn't even straighten it out. I totally panicked, and in all honesty it is one thing that made me look into getting into shape. I could barely drive and limped around, explaining that I had sprained my knee (self diagnosis). After about a week it was better but never back to normal.
That was my right knee. That hurts down the back of my leg. My left knee hurt in the front (like the patella actually hurts), But heck, I would hurt too if I had to lug my fat butt around. I am totally sure that the #1 thing I need to do is weigh less and that will help.
So out of nowhere my right knee popped again yesterday only this time it felt BETTER, almost like it was fixing itself after 2 months. I took today off from walking and it has been a little stiff but all in all I am hopeful.
