Any one get sore knees after compressing drops?

I skated this knee high manual pad for an hour or so yesterday and right knee (back foot skating) feels like shit today. I am trying to figure out if I am just too old for compressing drops or if maybe I am missing something here. I also missed a manual one time and did the splits so maybe that was what hurt it, not sure.

stretching def helps, taking 15 min to stretch before a session might do some good.
also weight can be a factor too, if you're over your ideal height weight then your joints are gonna be a little more succeptable to injury.
but knee high isnt much, so you might have some cartilege problems or something. my knees swell up more from the rain than skating though.

I'm a bit stalkier than when I was younger and skated and was thinking maybe that's what it was. My weight is around 195lbs though and it seems like some pro's are probably around there too (DWay would have to be) so maybe that's not it. I'd really hate to not be able to skate any terrain so hopefully just hurt it when I slammed.

im bigger too but my build/weight/height is all in line .
i remember when i was heavier and my knees and feet would freaking ache like theres no tomorrow.
after dropping pounds i havent had any problems, and i run twice a week too.
then again you might have bad knees, hard to say. try taking some glucosimine pills, wife does it and it seems to help her hip.

But on the other hand DWay hits the gym quite often, so he can make up for bad joints by gaining more muscles to support the knees. Don´t know, maybe you also work out on a regular basis...

My knees and my back hurts frequently. But my knees are worse when I don´t skate for like 2 weeks. Anyone have that experience? Like it just starts hurting like fuck when I walk. And when I get back on my board, the hurting disappears.

I work out 2-3 times a week. I could stand to loose 15-20lbs but I think I am height weight proportionate. I actually work out for the reason you stated, just to stay fit so that I can stay active and healthy. I am begining to think that maybe I twisted it a bit when I did the splits.

I twisted both of my knees at different times.....no medical insurance meant not skating and walking around in a knee brace for over a year.....at separate times though.......not cool at all.....these days....I don't skate nearly as much as I would like and still have problems walking around every once in a while.lame.

Right knee, the pushing knee, arthritic as fuck, hurts ALL the time, can't skate to much or it just start hurting constantly, needs to be kept warm all the fucking time, it's just a hassel, that shit's only going to get worse as well the fucker.

Cod liver oil pills seem to be working, but if i skip them for even like 2 days running, sore knee is right back, no milling about, the cold sucks ass as that makes it hurt

basically it just feels like it need lubed, it's liek bearings that ned oiled or something, just grinding on the bone i hate it more and more

Still go skating as much as i can though

Sleazy · « **Reply #9 on:** February 20, 2007, 02:15:37 PM »

is it arthritic because of the skating? compressing drops?

E.l.G · « **Reply #10 on:** February 20, 2007, 04:00:39 PM »

Glucosamine and condroitin.

Glucosamine and condroitin.

Took that for a while, it worked. Wish I kept up with it. I need to get some more.

i think running helps but i wouldn't say it's the best thing....if you love it..do it..but i think runnings gnarly on your joints....riding a bike...or even better...swimming...might be better...

might be an idea to pop into a physio or sports med. guy...they might charge you a bit but they can give you some better pointers than we can quite likely....

Do you skate mob? You could've landed too hard on your back foot.

Mullet Man · « **Reply #14 on:** February 20, 2007, 07:17:58 PM »

I'm 33, and I skate street harder than ever. That means everything on me hurts, pretty much all the time.

I haven't heard mob used in that way before. I most likely mob my flip tricks but what does that mean as far as compressing a landing is concerned?

If you did a split you probably just stretched your muscle to much, give it a couple days to rest up. Try stretching before skating and after. Also Tiger Balm can help the pain, it smells bad but helps a lot.

Yeah it can be hard on the joints but swimming is a different type of work out. Low impact and less results. Biking to be done effectively you gotta bike for over 2 hours and ride a crazy amount of miles.with 45-1 hour of running seems to kick my ass proper and i always loose some fat and gain muscle. sucks i even have to think about this stuff but i wanna keep skating as long as possible, not to mention i dont wanna be like the rest of this country and have some massive gut and be so out of shape. my metabolisim is so freaking jacked up now i could eat whatever i wanted.

Sleazy · « **Reply #19 on:** February 21, 2007, 08:15:27 AM »

I've heard that swimming doesn't burn as many calories because your body tempature is lower. There is a heated lap pool at my complex, I wonder if that would make a difference...

j....soy..... · « **Reply #20 on:** February 21, 2007, 08:25:08 AM »

sounds like bullshit..like 'don't drink cold water...it'll shock your metabolism and make you fatter...'

welcome to the 'i'm not ollie of off of it unless i can ollie up it' club...

swimming is pretty aerobic, and its good for your joints... do a few sets of laps slowly so as to work your back, shoulders, knees, and then some really fast to get your heart going. maybe ill go swimming today, i need some exercise. when im in vancouver, i never work out because i work-- carrying shit around, twisting, bending, etc. but here in ontario i dont do anything except waste time at this damn message board.

glucosamine is good. Water is underrated.
The best thing I think is just riding the mountain bike and doing leg exercises at the gym.
