So, I just started driving this week...
And my ankle and the area above my right knee hurts.
I've tried stretching it. It helps a little but not much, and only for a little while.
I've been driving for 3 days,and it didnt hurt Tuseday, hurt a little bit Wednesday, and it hurt a little more today.
Is this normal when first starting to drive?
[I know this isn't the most normal place to ask this, but I was just wondering if you guys might know.]

Is this the same knee that you hurt before?...........
Your dreams can't catch you when you fall, but they sure can get you back up again.

Well, technically yes.
Because I've hurt both knees.
But not in that part. I hurt the patellar tendon, BELOW the patella, not above it!
Oh, btw, I mean driving a car, not driving the knee [for PV]

Ligaments, tendons, bones, muscles... they're all connected. Maybe try talking to an orthopaedist.

Maybe you don't have the seat the right distance away? Or maybe you are just too tense!

It's only been a little while, so its probably just using muscles and such that don't usually work at those angles for longer than they're usually worked.
Well, I did it today and my ankle and knee didn't hurt as much, but that may be because I also iced it last night
The too-tense thing might be it too...haha, the other girl was like, "You have fear written all over your face! Quit being scared! You'll get better when you're not scared!" [I don't turn smooth enough.]

yea your fine. The same thing happened to me when i first started to drive. Your just not used to using those muscles in that way. You will get used to it.
