Day 160 - Back to the tape


My knee cap still isn't tracking properly, so I've resumed taping my knee. It helps a lot, especially going up and down stairs. I think one problem is that my VMO muscle is still a bit weak. So I'm hoping the tape will allow me to strengthen the VMO and get my knee cap back on track, literally.

But I may be trying to progress too fast or too soon. My physical therapist kept saying it can take a year after the surgery to fully get the knee back to feeling normal. As it is, I'm able to run and bike and carry out most normal day to day activities without a problem. So it may just take more time.

But I'll keep taping and hope it speeds things along.
