Housewife's Knee

Oh my knees! They've been causing me minor pain the last few months or so, but right now they are excruciatingly painful. I've been super busy keeping up with chores around the house, I seriously suspect that I may be allergic to housework!

I woke up early this morning, something very unusual for me, and I was fully prepared to be super productive. My knees disagreed with that decision, and I have been in crippling pain on the sofa most of the morning. I did risk the pain of climbing the stairs a few hours ago so that I could sit in a hot bath with jets on my legs. It did relieve some of the ache, but unfortunately I can't stay in the tub all day.

Treatment for housewife's knee is to stretch and exercise the muscles in the leg. I guess the Wii Fit will be making a serious comeback as soon as I can stand up.
