[Night Fury]

Yep I have been wearing the braces when I need it, before I go walking and when it hurts

yeah I know I can't avoid the stairs mostly just slowly been walking down stairs one step at a time or using the wall to brace myself if I don't have braces on

yeah sometime will go to a doctor about this and maybe get some blood tests done not sure what that is like though (will have to save some before I can... -_-;; )

yeah there is some places that has equipment but the ones I would need we already have

my family does certainly have a lot of equipment I could use hidden away in the basement but I'd have to have someone clean around it and move them around before I could use any... -_-
we may have an elliptical or at least something close to it...

though there is a rowing machine and an exercise bike I can use
if I use them with mostly arm power it doesn't seem to hurt my legs
so it seems to be helping (can either pull them with arms, legs, or an adverage of both so these seem to help)

one of my friends said to ice them
today which helped a lot
rested and iced
still hurts but not as bad

also thanks for your comments =D
