You need to get it checked!!!!!!! Take it from someone who puts off until it’s REALLY BAD!

No Brian, resting is NOT all you can do. Go get it checked out, and have it secured with a brace or something before it gets worse. We love you!

It sounds like the symptoms I had when my meniscus tore! I suggest that you go to your doctor and see what he says, ts not worth putting off! Perhaps he would suggest a special brace for your knee.

Brian, what you described happening to your knee, is Exactly how my hubby described what happened to his. He put off going to the Dr for 2 years, injured it a few more times and ended up having surgery. His Dr told him if he'd come in at the very beginning they may have been able to just re-hab it and avoided surgery. Might be a good idea to see your Dr.

You’ve NEVER posted a “Boring” video….we appreciate you letting us know about your injury….for those of us that believe in prayer, we will be praying for your quick recovery (you and your family are always in our prayers…this will add another specific request). Be careful.

Brian, go have it checked! An exray and some rehab! Don't ignore it! God bless! Speedy recovery ❤🤗🙏🏻

May be a good time to get the whole family involved in taking care of the animals❤❤❤ Make it a true Family Affair❤❤ Never know when life will throw you a curve❤❤❤ Praying for your complete and speedy recovery ❤❤❤

Sounds like a torn Meniscus, please don't wait!!! I did and ended up with 9 knee surgeries, a hinged knee and rods in my thigh almost to my ankle all because I waited. Whatever it ends up to be please get it checked with an Ortho.

Ohhhh, I did that... just stepped and turned and my knee popped and down I went, tore the meniscus... Get an elastic knee support and be careful... I have trouble with my knee to this day... God be with you to heal your knee...

God grant you a rapid healing! This is an opportunity to let others help. Time for all family members to learn basic livestock handling skills. It is NOT too much to ask of others. Daisy will learn quickly with a lot of small lessons in her pen , with plenty of small rewards , how to be led by other humans. ❤

Some things one can self treat. This is not one of them. It even might start to feel better, but long term healing improperly will give you a lifetime of problems. What the worse thing that can happen? They tell you just go home and ice it. Go. Go now. Gotta do it. Can’t half a** healing when you’ve got a homestead to work. It needs proper healing. Think of it this way, if Daisy or Bella came up with one lame leg and was in obvious pain, you’d get them checked out. Do the same for you.

I agree with those saying get it checked out! My husband is your age and he partially tore a muscle in his knee walking the dog. Our 16 pound Jack Russel terrier pulled on the leash as he was stepping down off a curb and something just twisted the wrong way. He had to go to physical therapy for about a month. I hope you feel better soon!

Brian please error with caution and get your knee looked at by a doctor. I’d hate to see you make it worse by mistake. Prayers for a speedy recovery and I’m excited for the sheep coming 😊

I know how you feel. I was in a bad car wreck beginning of March and loss complete use of my leg. I can’t walk at all - on crutches. Our entire farm plan for the year has come to a screeching halt because I’m the one that manages the farm. I don’t know if I’ll be able to grow any food for our family this year, can’t raise meat birds, or get the ducks for eggs we were planning to and the farm won’t generate any income this year. The entire farm is at a dead halt. I started my UKposts channel back up hoping to get monetized so I can support our family and keep our farm. Praying for healing for your knee! Definitely get it checked out.

Agreeing with everyone else, get it checked out. You don't want to join the Knee Replacement Club down the road. The perks aren't great and you don't get a t-shirt or even a coffee mug. 😂 Also, Daisy's judgemental look is Diva worthy.

The dry and dead on one side is what has happened to my rosemary the past few years. I looked into it and it appears it may not have been watered enough so that when the cold arrived the too dry branches where damaged on the side the cold arrives on, ie windy or less protected side, if that makes sense. It doesn't really for me as the side that dies is the side that is closest to our fence, but that might be where frost settles more. Also, wearing a knee brace does wonders to protect your hurt knee while going through the day to day operations. It keeps the knee from wobbling to the left or right. They can be purchased anywhere, even sporting good places as many wear them hiking.

If you go to the doctor now...for assessment... could end up healing a lot faster. Plus we want to see Daisy roaming about cutting the grass ASAP!

I fell and ignored the lingering discomfort for months. Finally sought care and am in PT now. Getting better. Praying for you, Lord bring swift healing to Brian’s injury. Amen. Love to you all.

Redbuds are actually a tree where the flowers are edible. thought you might like to hear that as a bonus.

Yeah, there are injuries that can be fixed, and time is sometimes critical. The pain you describe sounds like when I tore my ACL! It's not fun to think about but get things taken care of before they're worse!

Yes, go to the doctor even if you don’t have time! Make time for your health!

I'm so sorry, Brian....praying for a speedy recovery. Looking forward to seeing your sheep.

So I'm a horse person. Been in the business for over 30 plus years. All in my family have been taught basic horse skills in the advent of chaos. Chaos seems to always be waiting around the corner. Having farm animals at home is harder than people realize. Injuries happen to humans and animals, animals get loose, animals (and humans) don't behave... The list goes on to the chaos that can happen in a snap. It's important that able bodied people living on the farm have some basic skills. Everybody really needs to know how to move the cow around and now the sheep, not to mention the chickens. That's great that your son was able to help you. I had a horrible injury and the family had to step in and feed and check on the animals. It's important to everybody's safety, humans and animals alike. I know how hard it is to have an injury and you can't get your stuff done. So frustrating. I'm praying for a quick knee recovery!

So thankful for the update! My husband and I were concerned as no recent videos seen. Yep, ortho doc visit definitely indicated. I just commented to my husband last week that I was envious of how you can get down on your knees while doing all the things you do. I’m recovering from a R knee replacement (had left done 8 yrs ago). You’re in my prayers, Brian ❤ Anxiety about the sheep is normal. It is the apprehension of the unknown. Take care of you.

Jeepers, I fell Wednesday from a too heavy wheelbarrow that got out of balance and took me with it. After the ER, I’m home with a walker until my leg heals. I’m staring at unfinished raised beds, a ton of seedlings…. So frustrating! So you get that looked at and find out what the deal is. Don’t want to make it worse.

You really need to get an x-ray. Just to see what’s going on. I know, I know I don’t like to do that type of stuff either. But the knee is vital to the function of the leg. LOL Noah is growing up on a little farm and needs to learn about the care of Daisy and the coming sheep. He is a young adult and you should be able to transfer some work onto his shoulders. I sound bossy, but I grew up on a farm and learned I could handle some chores. Take care of yourself.

I'm wishing you well. The body does change as we age, not generally in our favor! Keeping you in m thoughts & prayers.

Praying for quick speedy healing. .

Prayers for quick healing.

Awww, getting old sucks! I'm 62 with a new hip and trying to strengthen my muscles so no more cane, pain or limp. I have to rebuild my raise beds today, so I can plant all those tomatoes and peppers in 2 weeks. I truly marvel at how some people can bend and go up and down stairs without a care. Get well soon!🤩

Ouch. Heal well. Loved hearing daisy in the background. Just tell her, "Daisy it is not you, it's me".

Oh Brian please be careful and take care of yourself and Listen to Emilie 😊❤

Brian hope your knee is better soon, we are getting old😊 Great to finally meet the sheep in next episode 😊 Poor Daisy, she must be confused 😢

Praying for a speedy recovery.

❤ feel better soon ❤

Please get it checked!! My 41 yo son just had surgery on an old injury to his elbow, (injured it in his 20’s!), & they discovered a torn tendon.

Hang in there, Brian! It will get better. Rest for now and take good care. Best wishes for speedy healing. 🙏

Prayers lifted for very rapid healing! 🙏🏻

Good to see your face! 😁♥️ Sorry to hear about the knee... Thanks for the update! Sending you healing vibes!

I did the same thing a few years ago. I tore a tendon when I was over stretching to fix the pond waterfall. It hurt so bad I wanted to cut my leg off!! I used the red light therapy and in addition a friend brought me a CBD/arnica cream (made by Be Rooted in Felton CA), that also helped. But mostly I had to rest and not walk a lot. You are walking so much better than I was able to do. And at that time (during lock down) we had gotten our three new ducklings and they were in a cage in my bathroom, they couldn't be with the adult ducks, who would kill them. So I had to get down to the floor to clean the cage and feed them twice a day. That certainly didn't help. But it had to be done. I was 63 at the time, so a major challenge. But the lights which I used constantly, the arnica/CBD, a knee brace and resting as much as possible I was able to heal and walk. Now I keep up with my QiGong practice, any stretching routine is so helpful. No worries about the videos coming out, just take care. I am sending healing thoughts and excitement to see the sheep!

It's ok Daisy, daddy has an owwie. Prayers for healing. Get yourself an MRI soon. My husband is going through this. He's putting off surgery for a few months because this is busy season. Get a hinged knee brace that velcros on (not slip on).

I am 73 and my right knee every now and then goes off if I move wrong. It is less painful each time it happens so that is good news. I think the ligaments stretch and don't hold the joints in place. A brace may help. I straighten out my leg and it goes back in place. It doesn't happen often so it does get better in time. Take care of yourself and it is time your son and wife learn how to help with the animals just in case things happen. Just teach them to help out every now and again. Wishing you a quick healing and welcome to getting older!

Hang in there Brian!!! This too shall pass💖 Wishing you a full & speedy recovery!!!

This happened to me with my back, doing something simple but I had over-abused this 68 year old body digging up my grass to make a flower bed. Now I’ve learned to pace myself. Take your time and take care.

Hope you take care of that. As you get older injuries can haunt you. I know. Take care and you can never be boring ❤️

Sorry to hear about the knee. Brian. "Don't even know what I did" is a common utterance of mine. I once blew my lower back out pouring water into the cat's bowl! I'm not an MD but, I will advocate for a brace with caveats. The least restricting brace that still helps, used for the least amount of time per day and for as short a duration as possible. Over use/dependance on a brace could lead to other problems. On the bright side; you're young and the problem is temporary. Grounding/earthing was discussed on this channel a few months ago. Check into it and give it a shot. It should help speed up recovery. If you feel prayers help, you got mine.

Sorry to hear about your knee and hope you get it checked out as many of your subscribers have suggested. I tore my ACL and in doing so also tore the meniscus. Had the meniscus repaired but opted not to repair the ACL; that was 15+ yrs ago and I’m 62 now. I feel fine now but have to limit bending, twisting etc. A orthopedic is no doubt in your future Brian. Much luck to you and hope it’s nothing torn!!!❤

One thing at a time . Keeping you in my prayers.

Brian, I'm so sorry to hear about your injury. Praying for healing.

If I lived near you, I would put Daisy out for you. Take care of your knee! As many have said, get it checked out. You could be prolonging a complete healing.

Ask your small group for help. That's what they're there for, support.

Oh no!! I hope you feel better soon, Brian! Looking forward to seeing the sheep.

Sending prayers for a quick healing!

OMG Brian I feel your pain! As we age it takes nothing for something to happen, and sometimes all we can do is laugh at it. As my husband says if something isn't hurting it is time to worry. I hope you feel better soon. P.S. We have found fish oil helps with joint pain too.

BY ALL MEANS, GO TO AN ORTHOPEDIC DOCTOR AND HAVE IT CHECKED. YOU MAY HAVE A TORN LIGAMENT.

Here is what I did when I injured my knee. I took a small hand towel, wet it with apple cider vinegar (not dripping) and wrapped it around my knee. I left it on most of the day and that evening I was able to walk. I still babied my knee, but I was able to walk without pain.

Jerry and I will keep you in our prayers - you were definitely not "yourself" -- understandably so. CK/CG

I pray complete healing in your knee in the name of Jesus.

Just wait till you catch up with me in 19 years, lots of why is this hurting and “I don’t remember scratching myself there”. And the floor is so far away, LOL. It all seems to get better just keep pushing.

Get well! Don’t rush. It will be well with you and the farm. God bless you.

Oh man, Daisy's face! lol I live on the other side of the world so I can only send my wish for a speedy recovery.

Yep go see the Dr. I put off seeing one for over 3 yrs. It was so, so off and on until I couldn’t walk on it without a lot of pain. Wound up with surgery and 8 pins and 3 screws later I can walk without pain. But I was 2.5 months in bed because I wasn’t suppose to walk on it. Go TO THE DR. Peace and love abide with you. 💕

I was wondering. Knee issues are no fun for the gardener/farmer. Yes, it needs to be checked out. :0/ Welcome to the world of knee braces and joint sleeves which have been a life saver for me. I always look forward to your videos. Thanks for all you teach us.

Whatta drag, Brian! Knees are definitely a weak spot in human anatomy! Hope you elect to getting checked out sooner rather than later, as so many have already urged you to do. No point in making matters worse just trying to tuff it out. Makes total sense that your anxiety would be hightened with the impending sheep arrival given the recent injury. Sending lotsa love and healing energy your way!♥♥♥

Prayers for complete and speedy healing! God Bless!

Godspeed to good health and recovery!

I had a knee replacement in December. The knees doing good, then I started getting short of breath and chest pains. So yesterday they done a cardiac catheterization and put two stents in my heart. Its always something!

Sitting in the hospital as I’m watching, waiting for my husband to come out of knee surgery. He waited too long to get it checked out. Now his recovery will take much longer. Please get checked out.

Oh wow, Brian, that's tough! You may be interested to know my daughter (18 yrs) had a similar - seemingly mild - injury to her knee last summer with a "pop" as you described while she was just doing some normal stretches. It ended up becoming such an injury! It restricted her movement, she even had to walk with crutches for a time, but all to say that in her case (and after multiple doctor visits and a scan) it turned out to be a sprained ligament. Very painful at times and for several months. The good news is, she did her physical therapy and her knee came back to 100%. You may want to have your injury checked if it keeps bothering you. Initially, docs thought she had just a mild knee sprain, but when it didn't heal, we had a much longer road to figure out what was wrong. If we had known sooner, we could have started therapy sooner which helped her fully resolve it. Hope you feel better soon!

Brian, I hope it's not a torn meniscus, those don't heel by themselves. The simple act of turning around to respond to a person standing behind me, with my knee in just the right position, caused two tears. For months I though it would get better-it didn't- and it actually locked up on me a couple of times with excruciating pain. That finally convinced me it was time to get help. One of the self diagnosis tests for that condition is walking forward down a hill. An ample level of pain usually points to meniscus damage and might warrant a trip to the sawbones. I hope you dodged that bullet.

My brother dislocated his knee cap sitting down at his desk, not hitting it or anything back when he was a teenager. Definitely should get it checked out to make sure it's not something more serious. Good luck with a speedy recovery!

Please get this injury looked at. I fell last year and broke my arm. Didn't think it was that bad and waited 3 months before getting it looked at. Luck was it healed straight but doctor said I was extremely fortunate. So don't delay get it looked at soon. God bless and thanks for letting us know what has happened.

I feel ya I had back surgery and it’s really hindering my ability to plant my garden,my son will now have to plant every thing for me hope he’s ready.

Take care of yourself! Yeah, a sudden injury like that can really put you off-schedule, but you’ll adjust as long as you give yourself a change to heal. I know this, not as a gardener, but as a 70 yr old long distance runner.

Oh crap, hope you heal soon! I pulled a muscle in my back once just with bad posture while sewing, kind of embarrassing lol! Your garden is beautiful Brian!

Take care! I bet a brace would help support it. Listen to your body ❤

I'm so sorry. I have knee problems, and so I can sympathize. Rest whenever you can. Praying for a quick recovery 😊

Hope your knee continues to heal! Regards to the family. ❤

thank you for catching us up. I'm so sorry this has happened to you. Wishing you all the best with your recovery. And also with getting Emilie and Noah to get in the garden. Once upon a time, if the head of the family/farm was injured then the others would obviously pick up the work, or there would be no food on the table for the winter. This is similar, as it is your livelihood. I just keep picturing Emilie's nails, and then the soil, and then her face as she thinks about her nails in the soil. Oh my goodness! We love you Emilie! But also know you're not keen on being the gardening. It's all good. Brian is probably really hoping to keep your beautiful nails out of his garden.

Don't say boring. Enjoy your homestead. get well

I'm praying for fast healing and lots of rest. Let your body heal. You'll miss getting out there in the garden. But, you need to restrict and restrain yourself. Catch up on your emails, sponsors, challenges! Best of luck. 🙏🏻😉

Oh, I’m so sorry you are hurting. It sounds like you are doing all the right treatments at this point, just don’t overdo when it starts to feel better. That’s what I always do. I’m so glad you are letting the finches nest around the house; hopefully the mockingbird doesn’t notice. A flock of Cassin’s finches visited my yard this morning, beautiful. Time to read some? Reread Isaiah 26:3, Matt. 11: 28-30, 1 Peter 5:7. Have hope. If I lived near, I would offer to help. Many prayers & blessings for less pain & a quick healing. And courage for Noah with Daisy; and Emillie, too.

LOL Sitting here watching while holding a cold pack to my knee. Overuse sitting on a garden bench weeding. Pouting because now that the weeding is done I SHOULD be planting flowers. I sympathize.

Lol. I feel your pain. Brings home the "getting old isn't for sissy" arnica cream will help. Don't stress too much. Someone is sending a message to stop and smell the roses. Enjoy the days resting.

Yikes! Nobody wants an injury. Go to the DOCTORS! Best wishes, heal well. ❤ Sylvia

Hang in there and don't do too much! HA! you are itching to get projects done. You will find a way to work out the garden chores and your Family will always be there for you and your animals.

As someone who has needed a knee replacement from numerous injuries to my knee since I was 15, I'm telling you, get it checked. In the meantime, wear a brace, but it doesn't have to be the ones with the side braces, just a fabric brace. That will help stabilize your knee to prevent more injury. Yes, a knee cap can move and cut the ligaments! You need an xray first, then a MRI. Xray won't show tissue damage, only bone damage. Please do it, plus continue icing every 15 minutes. No heat. Yes, Brian, I can hear you say get your knee replaced, but I'm not in excruciating pain. It just swells up to the point where it won't bend. Kinda hard to sit or drive if your knee isn't working right! Then I get a cortisone shot and am good for a while. Ps, I wear my brace whenever I'm doing heavy work in my garden. Can't wait to see the sheep and Daisy's reaction. Take care ❤

Suggestions: Use a brace. Use a cane on opposite side to provide support. When you elevate your leg, place support under your knee with a rolled up towel.

Just a thougt, a cheap Doctor visit now is better than an expensive Surgeon visit later. Prayers for a quick healing 😊

My 89 year old husband just broke his right shoulder no surgery for know - I’m sorry about your knee you are young praying for fast recovery in Jesus name

So sorry Brian, welcome to the club. Im a gardener too and NO Sqatting. Makes things hard haven't been on my knees in years I'm 59+++

There's never a good time for an injury! I went to my daughter's high school graduation in a wheelchair. With severe injuries to both knees I garden almost exclusively in tall raised beds.

Praying for healing Brian. That does not seem fun. I’m so so sorry.

Wishing you speedy recovery! Your garden and animals are lovely.

I'm bedridden because of my knees. Take my word for it, don't push it. Give your body time to heal. Best of luck, prayers sent up for you!

Please consider an MRI. Possibly a meniscal tear but with that kind of pain could also be slight ACL tear. Unfortunately I've had numerous of both with resulting numerous surgeries. Prayers for pain relief and quick recovery. Its a miserable "beach", knee injuries.

Years ago I tripped over the garden hose and fell pretty hard. I didn’t go to the doctor for about 4 years. It healed but never became normal. I had surgery. It was easy peasy and I shouldn’t have waited. My knee is great now.

I had meniscus tear almost a year ago now, red light therapy helped me a bunch, keep using it.

Oh, I’m so sorry my husband had a really bad knee injury in high school from changing his shorts in a high school. Locker room twisted on the bench and ended up with surgery so you have my compassion and understanding. I hope you recover quickly. Be careful. Don’t use it too soon.

I feel for you. My worst fear is getting injured, especially the start of garden season. Hope you recover fast.
