Arthritic knee

I was doing so well but week 5 just overdid it😞. My physio has assured me to rest for a week and then go back to week 3. So annoying when your brain wants to keep pushing boundaries but your body says no😐

Poor you! But as they say rest up and give it another go. Let us know how you get on.

That's very frustrating, but good that it's only a week off.

Are you back up to speed yet...maybe week 3 again, then carry on... slow and steady? :)
