A bit of background - I’ve had knee problems for the last year (basically because from March 2023 to January 2024 I had carry my 30Kg Dalmatian out for his constitutionals three times a day), and when I got it MRI’ed last month, it showed the medial meniscus on my left knee was squashed and has complex tears, and basically it’s now bone on bone there (had a steroid injection a couple of weeks ago, now undergoing physiotherapy).

I read up on it, and it said whilst it can’t be repaired, the pain can be alleviated by using physio to strengthen the muscles around it (fortunately, the ligaments are are in reasonably good condition), and the less weight on it, the better.

So, since we came back from holiday, we’ve been avoiding eating stuff like biscuits, cakes, chocolate, etc., no booze in October, and smaller portions in meals.

Awesome stuff :-) not the injury of course the weight loss
