Pain on My Left Leg

On Saturday night I felt pain on my left knee. It hurts every time I climb up and down the stairs. I thought it probably hurts because when I work in my computer I usually sit with my left leg tucked under my bottom while my right leg is folded up against my chest. Can you picture it?, lol. Anyway, I'm more comfortable and my brain works well too in that position. But after some time my back and legs get strained and that will be my cue to get up; pace back and forth; and stretch to release the tension.

On Sunday morning, I decided to tend to my indoor plants after a long time of ignoring them. I was so engrossed I didn't realize I was standing for over an hour already wearing my snicker clogs. I wondered why my clogs were getting tighter, when I checked my left ankle was already reddish and swollen. But that didn't stop me from working, I just kicked off my clogs and continued working barefooted on area rugs, shifting my legs alternately. Afterwards I rested and elevated my legs on my bouncy ball and that felt really good.

In the afternoon when we attended the birthday party of our friend's son, I was really in pain. It was very uncomfortable sitting in the car. I would rather stand up and walk or sit down with my legs up. I refrain to sit down or stand up on prolonged period of time because it aggravates my condition. For the past nights I have been going to bed earlier instead of working online until very late. I still have some pain but very manageable.
