[QUOTE="splozi, post: 919258"] Expect a lot of unhelpful comments in this thread. I experienced the same thing, except my pain occurred three days after helping, not two weeks. Eventually I couldn't even walk briskly, I could only limp slowly. My guess is that your driver had high expectations of you, and never instructed you on the "methods" and how to work safely. My first driver specifically stated that some safety rules will have to be broken to get things done. He expected me to run, so I ran, until I couldn't anymore. Yours likely did the same I presume? Unless the running was solely your choice. As I learned, the keys to keeping your knees in good order are: walk at a brisk pace, don't run & use the handrail when entering or exiting the package car. I learned my lesson quickly, and suffered through three weeks of unbearable knee pain for my mistakes. To answer your question, I would say it is not uncommon to find drivers with knee problems. My third and final driver has had two surgeries performed on his right knee. These problems, if not preexisting, were likely caused early in their driving, while trying to keep up and satisfy management. Your knee(s) will probably become stronger when you recover from the pain. Mine did. [/QUOTE]
