Amen on that, like I posted in another thread just now, building up the quads will work wonders for a LOT of knee problems since the quads help keep your knee in socket. That isn't to say "forget about the doctor, just do leg extensions and squats!", you should definitely get checked out if it's within your means, but building up ...http://www.traineo.com/10_1501_0.htmlMon, 07 Apr 2008 05:42:57 +0000http://www.traineo.com/10_1501_0.htmlok so i fell of my longboard and i landed on my knee, i hurt the inside of my knee really bad but i havent gotten it checked out and this was about three weeks ago. My knee is still swollen and i walk real funny due to the fact that i cant fully extend my leg. does anybody have any tips on what i can do and seeing a sports doc or anything like that is out of the question for me...http://www.traineo.com/10_1501_0.htmlMon, 07 Apr 2008 02:07:24 +0000http://www.traineo.com/10_1501_0.htmloh yeah, and if you have a knee brace, I'd suggest using that too!http://www.traineo.com/10_1501_0.htmlSat, 02 Jun 2007 16:41:53 +0000http://www.traineo.com/10_1501_0.htmlI've torn my ACL and meniscus (sp?) too playing soccer. May I suggest heating your knee before your workout for about 5-10 minutes to loosen up the muscles before using them? That's what I had to do during physical therapy, then ice it afterwards to avoid swelling. I'd also suggest getting it checked out so you don't make it worse! The surgery isn't bad if that's what they suggest. Not painful, at least for me it wasn't, just a frustrating first few weeks on cr...http://www.traineo.com/10_1501_0.htmlSat, 02 Jun 2007 16:40:24 +0000http://www.traineo.com/10_1501_0.htmlVernon, thanks for your response. My doc said that it was inflammation from over use... I will seek out a sports doc...http://www.traineo.com/10_1501_0.htmlThu, 29 Mar 2007 00:30:44 +0000http://www.traineo.com/10_1501_0.htmlKM, I would recommend that you see a sports doctor to make sure it is not something more sinister. But I offer this information on my own experience: Sounds like what I have, a small tear in the meniscus layer of the knee. Linky I was training for a 9 mile race when I had the partial tear. My symptom is at about mile mark 4 in a run I start to get pain just below the knee cap. Also, if I grab my kneecap and extend my knee, I can pop the joint like a knuckle. My doctor basically said ...http://www.traineo.com/10_1501_0.htmlWed, 28 Mar 2007 23:46:16 +0000http://www.traineo.com/10_1501_0.htmlIn my training for the marathon... I have run into some knee soreness... Picture my knee to be the greater than sign > during long runs... my need gets really sore just below the bottom of the tip of the arrow. anybody know what's wrong with me?http://www.traineo.com/10_1501_0.htmlWed, 28 Mar 2007 13:28:29 +0000http://www.traineo.com/10_1501_0.htmlwhy is this in the recipes section? i have a history of terrible knee stuff too. 3 operations, hundreds of knee dislocations. I recommend lots of slow and controlled leg extensions to build up the inner quadricep - this solves 90% of knee problems ! Its made my condition 'managable' - i still will never be able to be a runner or go skiing (which deeply saddens me, really) - but i can live day - to - day with no problems and life some heavy ass weights.

In my experience, if your knee joint is moving, (side to side especially) then you may have a torn ligament. Especially, if you have had some of the same symptoms for awhile. Does your knee get pretty swollen and puffy after a work out? I think that you should avoid what irritates it until you have it checked out and know for sure what is the problem. Otherwise you might create a worse problem....http://www.traineo.com/10_1501_0.htmlSat, 17 Feb 2007 09:04:36 +0000http://www.traineo.com/10_1501_0.htmlUsually ice and some aspirin or ibuprofen (they're anti-inflammatory) will relieve it. It may be that injury, it may be some kind of RSI or arthritis-kind of thing related somewhat to it or not related at all. Rarely is ice a bad thing. Try even a bit of ice and pills before the workout by about a 1/2 hour (with something little to eat if you're prone to irritation of the tummy with the NSAIDs)... it'll keep it from getting inflamed and being a PITA, and then ice after and ta...http://www.traineo.com/10_1501_0.htmlFri, 16 Feb 2007 21:37:44 +0000http://www.traineo.com/10_1501_0.htmlI have an old knee injury that i never corrected... its same kind of injury Michael Owen had before i dont know what its called tho.... anyways... i have no real problems with it i can walk normal and stuff... but now after almost 2 months of intense rowing on the machine... i have started to experience some serius problems... my knee does this disturbing ticking sound like somthing is moving in there everytime i do a stroke... and after a while it really starts hurting feels like somthing just ...http://www.traineo.com/10_1501_0.htmlFri, 16 Feb 2007 21:29:08 +0000
