Knee pain so bad I couldn't work or work out......
For 3 months now I've had knee pain so bad that it made it hard to work out. I've even missed like 7 days of work because it was so bad in the morning. It was so bad that when i sat down to lunch or got up, I would scream. Everyone was very concerned....
It also took 2 days off for the knees to feel better.
I do factory work for now and have to wear anti slip shoes. So today I went in and the pain started almost immediately......I also felt some torque forces on my right knee...which happened to be the most painful one.
The torquing gave me an idea. I went to the car and put on some running shoes.
HOLY SHIT !!!!!! 90% of the pain was gone! It kept getting better throughout the shift. I'm in heaven.
I thought it was just old age or arthritis....nope. Just shitty shoes. I didn't realize how bad the shoes were....
Back to training hard. I have an appt. with an Orthopedist on Friday. It's going to be cancelled.
Sometimes the simplest thing is the answer.
Back to squatting with gusto!

This morning was the first time I woke up without knee pain in 3 months. The shoes have some wear that doesn't look excessive. I'm still amazed what a difference shoes can make.
I'm thinking that the anti slip function has something to do with it. Maybe our feet are designed to *slip* just a tiny bit front to back or side to side with each step, but the anti slip shoes prevent any movement like that. Just my opinion.
I thought it was the squats. However, last night I squatted with different foot positions and none produced any knee pain.
