Thumbs up for the knee exercises!

I really think that the exercises that CaroleC told me about are making a difference already. My knees aren't quite as uncomfortable as they were, so I shall be keeping on with them!

Thanks Carole!

You just sit on the floor or on the bed with your legs out in front of you, imagine you have a ball or an egg under your knees, and try to squash them! hold for a count of 5 and repeat as you want. Warning though, last night, my left knee sort of clicked out of place. It had done it a few times as it didn't like the position I was sitting in. The exercise is fine but bringing my knees up after pushing them down to squash the egg is often uncomfortable and clicky!
