Hello Orchid..I have a question for you..

I have had alot of trouble with my left knee..my doctor says it´s "arthritis"..artros in Swedish. Now I have read on the net..and other sites..that bike riding is good for the knee..and that one should keep the knee joint flexible..even if it hurts..a stationary bike..the kind you have in gyms or at home is also very good..

Soo I went to our little place here where we live..they have a small gym set up there. I tried riding the stationary bike there..with 0 resistance..but I couldn´t bend my knee enough to be able to do a complete circle ..if you know what I mean? So I couldn´t cycle.. I was wondering if you have any ideas on how I could ease my body into being able to cycle indoors?

I have cycled indoors on and off in the past..when I was using a gym..but it hurts too much..but according to what I read on the net and have learned from people with arthitis..on different sites..I should keep my knee joint moving so it doesn´t become stiff..and this, despite the pain.

Gratefiul for any ideas that you might have. I was sooo disappointed today you know..if your have problems with your knee..well, the next thing to react is your hip..so I want to get this knee in shape! However, it is painful since I have gone back to work on Monday this week. Ugh!
