\nI don’t expect people to believe this story because to me, it barely makes sense. Yet, it happened: here it is:<\/p>\n
\nLast Thursday and Friday my routine changed: I spent a lot of time at a computer I normally sit in front of only briefly. Yet, both Thursday and Friday I sat in front of it for hours doing research.<\/p>\n
I think I started to notice on Friday that standing up felt different, but I was occupied with the research so didn’t contemplate why. Yet, Saturday morning, when I went to stand up from that chair, my right knee hurt a lot.<\/p>\n
I’m an avid runner, but last time I ran (Thursday), I did 8km and felt fine. Moreover, I’ve no knee injuries I’m aware of. However, Saturday morning, when I discovered how much my right knee hurt, I tried to do a squat and could barely do one. As I did so, my right knee gave horrible, sharp pain.<\/p>\n
\nI contemplated the situation with the certainty I wasn’t injured. What was causing so much peril to my right knee, then?<\/p>\n
I soon decided that the culprit is likely the office chair in front of that computer I worked at Thursday and Friday. The chair is comfortable, but it cups under my knees in a way a hard chair wouldn’t.<\/p>\n
Most of the time, when sitting at a computer, I’m on a hard chair. I decided that the way I sit on that cushy office chair must position my right knee in a way that causes it distress. Therefore, I swapped out the office chair for a hard one, and continued my research.<\/p>\n
By Saturday evening my right knee was noticeably improved. Now, Sunday morning, I can do a squat without pain. The right knee still has some tenderness, but is almost back to normal.<\/p>\n
Why that office chair is so detrimental to my right knee, God knows. However, it seems to’ve been the problem.<\/p>\n
If my knee continues to improve, I’ll be out running later today:)<\/p>\nJack of Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane,<\/a> Campbell River, BC.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Self-tutoring about a bizarre event concerning my right knee: the tutor tells a story.
