Thank you for your response. My normal job I can do 15,000-16,000 steps, but the job I'm doing is different but ony feet most of day. I elevate my leg at night, but I haven't been doing my ice packs. I had the machine at home and it helped. I'll get some ice packs,as I'm staying in a hotel so I'll find something. I'm guessing that from the response s I'm getting, it's probably overuse.

@marbowl Please do not be ashamed to admit that you have discontinued your exercises. You have plenty on your plate as it is and are to be admired to be working in the situation you are in.
As others have said, the knee exercises are primarily to strengthen, so not doing them will cause a lag in that, plus you may possibly not achieve the flex you would be able to if you were able to continue them. Your pain is simply from being on your feet so much. I hope this situation improves soon and you will able to resume your normal activities.
