knee-pain
I have a hard lump on the lateral side of my knee and bruising around knee and it band. I cannot bend knee and feal pain all the time, when sitting, lying or walking. When i press lump there is irritability and pain. It hurts to straighten knee. I had an x-ray that shows a minor lateral patella tracking but my knee cap does not hurt. I have had this for a year, what can I do to fix this and go back to sport?
nothing helps this pain feel better,it is worse when I sit, it is constant, and burning in my left butt cheek, and down my thigh, and when walking it changes to the side of my left knee, and calf, and back of my thigh..the only time that I am pain free is lying down. I am so sick of this, and my DR i now thinking it could be my hip. Who knows, all I know is that I am so sick of being in pain. Oh, I also have a lot of spasms in my feet, especially at the beach.
It usually only happens at night or in the mornings though. I sleep on my right side mostly and my right knee hurts the most. But whenever it starts hurting if I turn over onto my back and make a "4" with my right leg the pain stops. Anyone experiencing this? I've also noticed the socket in my right ankle hurts a lot too.
I cannot slide on my knee without it popping and locking in a way I can beat describe as my knee getting stuck closed to the point where I have to squeeze it as tightly closed as possible. The pain is 10/10 and I can only unlocking it by hanging my knee over my other leg while lying on my stomach relieving pressure on the outside of the knee. This all started beginning when I injured my knee sliding on wet grass my cleat got stuck and twisted my ankle.
I've been having the EXACT same problems as you all. Sudden, sharp pain on the inner side of my knee close to my kneecap. It's intense, lasts for 15-20 seconds (sometimes has lasted closer to a minute), and practically debilitates me when it happens. It's completely random, although it seems to come on almost always when I'm either sitting or lying down (rarely when I'm standing and almost never during activity like sports or exercise).
Another PT once said my strength was abnormal when she pushed on my straight-raised leg while lying on my side. Are either of those the hip-flexor test?
I don't even know where the hip flexors are... are they the muscles on the outside of your hip that feel strained if you are standing and cross one leg in front of the other? That's what feels so incredibly strained when I walk continuously.
Thanks for all the info and I hope you get your pain under control soon, Zacksmomi.
It is only painful when I am moving a certain way, sometimes getting up from sitting or trying to bend to the right. I have no pain at all when I am sitting still or lying down. Have I somehow strained a muscle or something ? I also feel a twinge of pain when I take a deep breath. I am able to walk around with no pain too. Any ideas would be appreciated.
While I was pregnant I had problems with a nerve running from my lower back (left side) down my outter thigh, around my knee and down my calf! I just started walking 1-2 hours a day, three weeks ago and the pain is back again! It seems to only occur when I move certain ways.. or while lying down. I am on anti-depressants and was wondering if there was anything I could take to ease the pain... and should I stop exercising so much?? Anything? Thank youuu!
I had the3 same problem, and still doe, I have had 2 total knee replacements on the same knee. I am in terrible pain. the Dr's threw up their hands and said I have never seen a knee like your and to be honest I dont know wjhat to do. So he put me on Oxycotin 40's 3 times a tday. The pain is unbearable.
Ever since then it grinds and pops like a car going over gravel, sore aches when idle, pain when bearing weight (going up/down stairs etc) and when lying down and bending the knee.
Is this really all just down to ‘slight wear to the meniscus’? How should I go about it now as I really need to do something as I can’t progress in my job if it remains like this? For that reason, I really am open for any treatment options.
Thank you so much and I hope I’ve posted in the right place!
The pain occurs directly behind her left knee, and sometimes on the front left side of the knee. I can easily feel a pop in the front left side of the knee when her leg is extended.
When she went to physical therapy, the physical therapist pressed on her knee several times in different locations and also extended and contracted her leg to see if there was any pain, but she felt no pain. Her physical therapist said that her mechanics are off.
The Hip Flexors Stretch
Get into a crouched position with one leg behind you and your knee on the ground, and have your other leg out front bent at the knee with your foot flat on the ground. That may sound a little complicated, but
that’s why I sayto google these ! Hold this position for around 20 seconds with each leg and repeat 2-3 times for maximum stretching and pain relief.
Felt pain in right knee when pulling sofa forward about 4months ago. At the time I had no swelling , no continuous pain or knee wasn't buckling. However, when I've tried running I can't totally put weight on right knee. When I'm lying on my back, and bend my leg there's no pain. When I starighten my leg I can feel pain.ive tried holding my leg halfway and the pain is there around my right knee.ive not been to doctors because I have no "major symptoms".
Slowly, this has got worse and for about a year now, some pain is also there when lying down or in the morning. But as soon as I get up and walk, there is no pain at all and I can run and walk without any difficulties. Stretching exercise appear to ease it. Once I forgot myself and knelt quickly, resulting in collapsing with a severe cramp-like pain throughout my whole body. Recently, I noticed a similar slight pain in my upper left arm.
