Knee Tightness

After my run last Tuesday I was sitting in the living room. I got up and my left knee was stiff and I all but limped to the kitchen. Over the next several days the stiffness decreased but a little bit of pain lingered. This weekend was very windy and I could have pushed it with my knee but decided a little bit of rest was better.

Today I tested it and right away felt a tightness on the left side. It was very localized and now I'm wondering if I'm leaning against something that is causing pain, kind of like I experienced with the other knee and resting it on the edge of the mattress all night, every night. Regardless, I went a mile and then walked a half, and then alternated on the way back for a total of 3 miles. Right now it feels all right. We'll see about tomorrow. And I'm also going to be very alert to anything I'm doing that could be causing chronic pain.
