Can you tell me about your injury?
My elbow pain was from repetitive use for many years. They were so sensitive that I couldn’t even rest my arms down on armrests.
I also have a sport injury on Right knee from 25 years ago. I then over compensation with the Left knee. Plus, my job requires me to squat and bend a lot which doesn’t help my knees either. After years of doing the same repetitive motions, it has really taken a toll on my body.
