Hi again Bubbles! Yes...I do have trouble with my knees in that they my walking is 'quite stiff' when I get up in the morning..and/or if I'm sitting too long during the days..i.e., at the computer...good movie on TV... or reading for several hours. Also, my back can give me the same 'problem' for the above noted reasons...sometimes going into 'muscale spasms' ..but, thankfully that does not happen too much nowadays...Had a lot of problems in that way.. before my back surgery...many years ago. As I say..I do find that 'going down the stairs backwards' is most helpful at thest times..My brother has had a lot of problems the last 2 yrs. and 'did not believe this backward down the stairs' would be 'of any use'...even when I told him how Mom 'swore by it'...BUT..then one day he tried it!! (stubborn fella he is ..ha ha) and "voila"...gee..it really does work!! he now says.. I feel that it is because one does not get that 'heavy jolt..at least it seems to feel that way.. when your legs/knees are stiff' ..and so much easier to 'manage the stairs' until we get them loosened up! Nice chatting with you Bubbles.... Frances.. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
