It's not that it's impossible to use this machine safely, but it's tough to do and you really have to pay attention to your particular build, flexibility, etc., to get the range of motion right for yourself.

I had totally quit lifting for a couple of months when this all started. The seated horizontal press seemed to be safe enough, but wasn't.
I think diet had a lot to do with it too. Eating a lot of collagen (again) just for the past 3 days appears to have helped a LOT with the pain. Fortunately, I happen to like it and it's cheap.
What is irritating is that walking, standing etc. is not the problem.
Driving and attempting to sleep is...
It's weird, and annoying. I need sleep. -- Peace! Om

Stewed.
Mostly chicken feet because I like them, but some trotters too. Pressure cooked to jell. -- Peace! Om

Oh, trotters can be absolutely fantastic. I very rarely have them - never cook them myself - but so tasty, and so rich. And certainly chock full of collagen!
Never had chicken feet, though.

Have you read the McKenzie book yet, and have you tried implementing the things he suggests? Based on what you've said about yourself and your injury, it should literally be what the doctor ordered for you, save the fact that most doctors don't think about this sort of stuff, of course. :(

They are a bit of a challenge to eat, but very tasty. I've been keeping it simple, but there are a lot of interesting looking Thai recipes for both of them on line. -- Peace! Om

You can probably get the McKenzie book from your local library. It is likely the answer to your problems, or at least the beginning of getting you pointed in the right direction. I just checked my local library and they have several copies available.
