[Yuko's Leg Rehabilitation Diary - 19]
Writing about what happened to me in 2014-2015 is not easy. I have to say that the two years was the hardest time of my life.
The worst time was - February and March in 2015 in particular. As I mentioned earlier, my leg problem was just an injury (a problem after the injury), not illness. But in spite of not being ill, my condition in the first six months of 2015 was serious.

In winter - January 2014, I started training with an exercise bicycle. The muscles used by walking and the ones used by cycling are similar but slightly different. After the training, the tightness and soreness of my leg muscles were even worse than after going for a walk. I endured the pain. The next day - I couldn't move the legs normally because of the tightness and soreness.
But I couldn't stop training, I tried to find a solution - massage, bathing, keeping the body warm, and healthy diet - everything I could.
