Hello Gabrielle, thank you for replying to my post. To answer your questions.
No, I have not seen a doctor yet; I am researching on my own, mostly reading the book Yoga for Arthritis by Loren Fishman and Ellen Saltonstall. It has not helped really.
The exact pain location: right knee, lower left side of patella, in the meniscus area. The warm and little swallow is lower area around the patella left and right.
Sometimes it hurts during yoga, when I bend the knee: I am careful doing lotus, hero, head to knee forward bend poses. However I am okay doing posses like pigeon or cobbler.
Today I am sore in the muscle and tendons, maybe lack of yoga or maybe after the little routine I did yesterday, cannot tell.
thanks!
