| Well I learned a lot today. It turns out there's a possibility I may have developed osteoarthritis to some degree in my right knee due to fourteen year old biking injury. Though it has since completely healed, the cartilage inside the joint was ripped a little and deformed the growth of my knee. It never hurts but I nearly always hear it snap when I walk stairs. I usually joke about it and say I have 'old wives' knees'.
But I also understand now how this might cause other problems. During a five mile dune hike (for which I hadn't practised) three years ago, I noticed the other healthy knee started hurting because the bad knee made me walk out of balance. So instead of buying shoes I'm up for an appointment with my physician to have both knees re-examined. I'm kind of baffled.
