I used 1 1/2 lbs of dried Black Eyed Peas. I sterilized 3 pint jars. Rinse and soak beans overnight. The next day put drained beans in a large saucepan. Add fresh water to cover beans by 2 inches. Bring beans to a low boil for 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
If the noise is not painful and more of a grinding when the knee bends it is probably a sign of inflamed cartilage. We often call this chondromalacia. This comes from the wear and tear of the surface mainly under the knee cap. Usually this can be a feeling more than a noise. This is âcrepitusâ and less serious.
The friction (resistance to bending) in the knee joint is typically adjusted by tightening a bolt. Often, a spring is used to help the knee straighten before the foot hits the ground during walking. A mechanical friction knee bends when as the user naturally walks as the toe of the prosthetic foot is properly loaded. Often, these knees can have one axis of rotation (single axis) or more than one axis of rotation (polycentric) and are best for lower activity or single speed walkers.
