i have recently had a knee operation to fix the cartilage. on investigating they found that my femor and knee cap was in a bad way and worn and in time i will need a knee cap replacement, however thankfully not at the present time. Iam a fit person who teaches amrtial arts. My problem is that it has been weeks since my operation but the knee is still badly swollen and sore and i am still struggling to straighten it and bend it behonf 40 degrees..
Hello,
I have had 3 arthroscopies on my left knee to repair my lateral horn meniscus in September 2009, January 2014 and March 2015. Each time after the operation and recovery my knee begins to feel good and strong again.
After 1 and a half year since my last operation my knee has felt great, however 5 days ago I squatted down (asian squat toilet), and instantly knew I had torn the cartilage again.
Since this moment my left knee has a constant ache/throb.
ve only just started playing again after my last operation on the other knee and have worked hard to get my fitness and skills back up to a decent level - more surgery know would devastate me.
Does anyone have a diagnosis for this? Any ideas, info, insight, advice and suggestions would be extremely appreciated and welcomed.
I had ACL surgery to my right knee 8 weeks ago. I am a seasoned partier and have taken pills for kicks for years as the opportunity presented itself. I drink a lot a beer and smoke pot daily. My knee was starting to feel better and last time I picked up my prescription the pharmacist gave me a hard time I was told had gone thru 280 plus pills. With the Acetaminophen in the Norco and beer issue, I decided to give them up cold turkey.
In June of 2007 I was conducting a training exercise and I hurt my knee. I was running on a cement surface and tripped. All my weight landed on my left knee. It hurt immediatly and within a few minutes had swollen to twice its size. I could not put ANY weight on it and had to be carried. The corpsman checked me out and said to ice it and rest. I spent the rest of that training operation laying down on a portable cot with my leg elevated and iced.
Surgical repair for torn meniscus of L' Knee. 3 months post-op it buckled, caused tear during fall to R' Knee and meniscus was surgically repaired but has also failed, although the surgeon refuses to order an MRI to "prove" this latest injury. Pain is an issue as I am allergic to all pain meds ordered to date and take nothing for the pain levels of 9-10. Before injury both knees were healthy, minimal arthritic changes on MRI's in spite of age 58 and obesity.
I have had extreme knee pain (to the point where I can now barely walk as it is), and I don't know what the problem is.
In March 2008, I had an operation to help remove a torn miniscus, and the pain went away after physical therapy. Now it's back (been back for about 5 months), and in BOTH knees now, rather than just one. Went back to the same doctor that did the operation, and he gave me some anti-inflammatories that worked for a week then quit working.
It is good to go in for a corrective surgery as uneven pressure onto the outer and inner part of knee-joints it has been proved to lead to early developed arthritis, as well as to knee pain and progressing deformation. Legs deformation and pain are the reasons why a great number of elderly people cannot walk normally and in most cases, after arthritis is developed, need to undergo knee replacement.
SINCE HAVING KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY IN MARCH 2009 I HAVE HAD SEVERE HEEL PAIN. NO ONE HAS FOUND THE CURE. THIS INCLUDES THE KNEE SURGEON, A PAIN DOCTOR, A FOOT DOCTOR AND A NEUROSURGEON.
ve ulnar Nerve palsy and wasting of hand muscle and doctor says
I will need operation to fix it. It is painful news and says even operation will not result full recovery - ...
Doctor says many reasons causing it. I believe it must be due to diabetes condition causing nerve damage and finally palsy....
I've been reading websites to see possible non-surgery alternatives. Perhaps, I'm dreaming......
Thanks .
My mother had full knee replacement surgery around october. The operation seems to have been a success. But a few weeks after the operation she developed diahrrea. It has now lasted more than 2 months. She has lost 14 pounds. All tests come back negative. SHe has taken several medicines aND probiotics. Her diahrrea is watery. Not solid at all. She goes 4 times a day sometimes more. She has gone 10 times in half a day at some point . Has not taken antibiotics since the operation.
By going for TKR one year back she looks fine for 6 months, then severe pain on the operated left knee, checked and found PUS. Gone through a Revision TKR, done through 2 stages removing PUS and filled with cements and then after 2 months operated again with the new implant.
Again PUS coming out from the operated knee, infection there.
Need ur advice and help on this.
00 a.m. and searched the computer for info. Oh and some fluid and blood came out with the bigger nodule which is making me very scared. Does this sound bad? Had right lobe out in 1998, with a benign tumor. Do you think he is going to suggest taking the lobe out because of the size, even if turns out to be benign? I wish I would of had the whole thing out the first time!! Any info will be very much appreciated.
i went to doctor then for MRI on his advice the MRI says
FINDINGS ARE SUGGESTIVE OF GRADE 1 INTERAMENISCAL TEAR IN THE POSTERIOR HORN OF THE MEDIAL MINISCUS AND MILD SYNOVIAL EFFUSION apart from this everything was fineLATERAL MENISCUS was NORMAL.BOTH ACL &PCL ARE NORMAL.THE MEDIAL AND LATERAL MENISCI ARE NORMAL.
Thus, ACL prevents the tibia from sliding too far forward and also contributes stability to other movements at the joint including the angulation, rotation at the knee joint. When an ACL injury occurs, the knee becomes less stable and there is a sensation that the knee will 'give out' from under them. Consequently, there would be difficulty in doing high demand work beyond the activities of daily living.
