fun2playwith88 -> Kneeling with patellar tendonitus (8/12/2011 11:25:36 PM)

Heres the thing. I'm a weightlifter and about 5 months ago I was doing squats with too much weight and hurt the tendons in my knees. I have only recently started treating it because I thought it would go away on it's own and now, since treating with stretches and naproxen sodium, my knees are really tender especially when kneeling for my pretty lady (which I love doing). I'm just wondering if anyone else is dealing with patellar tendonitis and if they have any advice treating/ getting around it.

You may already know that anything ending in "itis" means inflammation. So, anything you do to exacerbate the condition is going to prolong your healing time. Action involving the quad/calf, such as kneeling, is definitely going to continue to put a strain of your already inflamed tendon(s). Without any deeper knowledge, I'd say refrain from kneeling {if possible} until your tendon(s) heal.
While tendons do take quite a while to heal, 5 months is a good long time. This makes me wonder if you self-diagnosed or saw your Dr. If you haven't been seen, and it shows no sign of improvement, I'd suggest a visit to the Dr. to ensure it is just strained and not torn. Best of luck.

Thanks for the advice. I've seen the doc but she says what they always say "Stay off it". I guess I'll just have to learn to be patient with the healing process.

A good MASTER or MISTRESS will take health issues into consideration and should not require anything of you that would cause you harm

Bowing is a nice replacement.

One of the GREAT gay male slaves has a similar <not exactly sure> problem.  Might be that or something else.

Any-who, keeps him from kneeling.  His name is David Stern OR Stein. BRB

Stein:

One of the key elements of the protocol is the ritual of PRESENTING, which a slave must do whenever a Master at BUTCHMANN’S enters or leaves a space the slave occupies, or when the slave approaches or leaves a Master. The slave normally [emphasis added] kneels, with his hands clasped behind his back and head bowed (there is a standing variation, which i was allowed to use most of the time because of my knees).

I have bad knees to (arthritis - due to age), and kneeling (or any other activity that places pressure on my knees) for any extended time period basically has become a no-no unless I don't want to be able to walk for a week afterwards), however, if you want to kneel for a short duration, buy one of those foam pads that they sell for gardeners to use - the thick foam will allow you to kneel for a short perid without undue discomfort.

i had to crawl around on the concrete floor under my house one time,.. i wrapped bubble wrap around my knees a couple of times and taped it in place really well with duct tape.. worked like a dream for me.. [:)]

I had tennis elbow - which is tendonitis of one the tendons that inserts in the elbow. It took well over a year to resolve, and that was with lots of aleve and a muscle squisher brace thingy. Don't expect rapid results.



SaintIntensity -> RE: Kneeling with patellar tendonitus (10/7/2011 3:42:48 AM)

if you can afford/find (Google!) them, kneepads designed for Iaido and other martial arts with a heavy emphasis on kneeling are excellent!



GreedyTop -> RE: Kneeling with patellar tendonitus (10/7/2011 3:47:42 AM)

my concern would be that the kneeling itself isnt the problem... but the rising from kneeling. IME that is more wearing than the actual kneeling.
I agree with Lance..



ProlificNeeds -> RE: Kneeling with patellar tendonitus (10/7/2011 4:45:00 AM)

Agreeing with the whole 'avoid the kneeling' thing, and I can say the getting up is a huge strain on the knee, use the bowing or, if you want to feel particularly lowly at home for her, belly down entirely and worship her feet a bit. Just when getting up and down, avoid added strain on the knees, use a hand hold to pull yourself up with instead of putting the full strain on the knee to force yourself up, and definitely look into a doctors visit to find out how best to reinforce the joint. Over doing it now could make those knees worse in the future.

I am reminded of a line from the fantastic Buz Luhrmann song "Sunscreen".....Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone.

I have a lot of issues with my knees because of hyperextension of my joints (most people call it "double-jointed"...i call it Flamingo knees). The fact is, you have a lifetime to live with or without your knees. Choose well. Get a referral to an Orthopod who specializes in sports medicine and take the advice he gives you. In the interim, don't kneel or do anything that can cause a delay in healing or worse, yet more damage.

Hello Holly.
