Knee "popping" - 61 - 09/10/21 02:00 PM
'Gotta mountain goat hunt in SE Alaska coming up in November. Every big hunt I've ever been on, I've regretted not doing more cardio. I've been trying to do more cardio on the treadmill and step-ups on the weight bench, but my left knee started "popping". Not hurting, or swelling, just popping...with almost every step. I know it's a tendon slipping off of something, and it'll probably get worse, especially if I keep pushing. We have tons of braces, of all types, in this house and I'm wearing one, but it doesn't change or stop the popping. I'll ask the doc daughter tonight, but she's young and hates having to "treat" family. I get it. 'Thought some of you other old farts might have a suggestion, besides "see an orthopedic" and/or knee replacement. The wife is telling me to ice it, but I don't see how that's gonna do anything. My new motto: It never pays to exercise.
