The knee that won’t settle
- Knees
- Recovery
Six weeks after a twist and it still swells after a walk. Why rest alone rarely fixes it, and what does.

How Maren works
Most people come to me with a back or a neck that has been bad for months and a stack of advice that didn’t agree. I start by finding out what you want to do again, then build the plan backwards from that.
I still see patients four days a week. The fifth day I spend with the team, reading plans together, so nobody at Alder works alone on a hard case.
From the journal
Maren’s note first, then the latest from the team.
Sleep after an injury
- Sleep
- Pain
Pain keeps you up, and lost sleep makes pain louder. How to break the loop without counting hours.

Twelve weeks is a guide, not a finish line. What to check before your first run, and how to build up.
