Avatar n tn I can feel rubbing and clicking in my knee when I walk. What is wrong with my knee? Should I still be playing basketball or will it make it worse?
Avatar m tn I had a basketball injury today- a player ran his knee into the side of my knee. I went down immediately. I thought it was a knee injury b/c that is what hurt first. Then the pain moved down my leg to the top of my ankle just above the foot. Then the pain moved back up just below the knee to the outside of my upper calf - between the calf and the shin bone. My left side is sore and has a numming feeling. What do you think this injury is?
Avatar m tn I use to play a lot of basketball and football I am now 35. Last wk I was playing basketball and when I came down from jumping I had a real sharp pain in my knee and could not continue. Around the top of my knee cap is tender and hurts and when I put pressure on my knee getting out the car or anything I get sharp tack like pains under my knee cap and sometimes on the side of my knee and it aches a little, I have really slight swelling but I am able to walk.
Avatar n tn When I was in high school, I was playing basketball and fell on the inside part of my right knee and it instantly went numb for about 10 minutes. I quit playing basketball because it did it for the rest of the year (I didn't see a doctor). Recently, I started playing again and the same thing happened. I fell and landed on the inside part of my right knee and pain shot up through the knee then it was numb instantly. I iced it for about 10 minutes and it felt better.
Avatar f tn We found out last year when his knee was xrayed for pain. He is a basketball player. When pain got to hurt to much He rested his knee for 3 months. The pain eventually went away. He was pain free for 4 months. Then the pain came back. He rested for another month. The pain got worse. He has tried to play basketball and 5 minutes into playing he has to stop because it hurts so bad. He says it’s sharp pain. Has anyone ever had the surgery to remove the small fragment?
Avatar n tn I would say that the combination of tendinitis and knee pain caused me to play basketball at about 50% and with nearly excruciating pain. On occasion my knees would give out--most of the time after playing a game. After resting them for two weeks now, my knees feel slightly better. So I went to this guy and he explained to me that I had some minor tendinitis(yeah right, when playing I'm nearly crying) and couldn't explain the pain throughout my knee and just said it was overuse.
Avatar f tn so i have been playing basketball since last year. During one of my games i went and set a pick on this girl, anyways i did it right but in the end she hit my leg and let a bruise from my knee down until where my ankle started. It has been two months and the bruise is gone but there is still a tiny little pump. You can barely notice until someone or something touches it and when they touch it, it still friggin hurts. So i was wondering should i go to the doctors or just let it do its thing?
Avatar n tn Been having a problem with my outside knee when i play basketball. i play about 2 or more hours at a time, everything is fine the first hr or hour and a half. After that the side of my knee begins to hurt and after a while i cant put any weight on it. My lateral movement is almost completely gone and then i can barely walk. Afterwards that whole night im in severe pain, worse after sitting for a bit and trying to stand up.

Avatar f tn At 15 years old playing basketball I tore my lateral meniscus and ended up having a bucket handle tear needing a partical menisectomy. After the surgery the pain did not really go away, I did rehab, I went to physical therapy but it just got worse and worse. After running a full track and basketball season I couldn't take the pain anymore and asked them to go in again, and they found a horizontal cleabage tear that had been there for nearly a year... So I'm now 18.
Avatar m tn My most recent one was a scope on my left knee to clean out some cartilage. I have been playing basketball to get back in shape and have been playing 1-2 times a week for the last couple months. A few weeks ago I instantly was a little late and didn't get time to warm up and stretch. As I went down the floor a few times, I began to notice pain in the direct middle of my thigh. I figured I just needed to stretch out my quad and everything would be fine and continued playing.
Avatar m tn The pain comes when I jump, squat, lunge, etc. which causes playing basketkball very difficult. The pain is worst directly on my kneecap. I went to the doctor about it in March and they really didn't tell much except to ice it and take ibuprofen which I have been doing often for the past 2 months with very little activity on it. That didn't really help too much so I decided to start working out on it doing some light jump exercises on it, too maybe strengthen the muscles.
Avatar m tn My biggest obstacle is my left knee, which was quite heavily injured 5 years ago while I was playing basketball. It was treated by a surgery followed by physical therapy. However, my left leg has been noticably weaker than my right leg ever since. One of the reasons I started weightlifting was so I could try to fix these imbalances.
Avatar f tn I am 17 years old and I've been having chronic knee pain for almost 5 years now. It started in my left knee and for the past 2 years it has been in both of my knees. I am an athlete and have played basketball, volleyball, and softball in the past 5 years and am currently just playing softball. My knee click and pop and lock in place on a daily basis. I have gotten multiple x rays and MRIs and they have all come back with nothing obviously wrong.
Avatar m tn Hi, I have pain in the tibia of my left leg, which I think is below the knee cap. The pain started when I was 18, after I got an injury during a basketball game. Now I'm 20 and I still feel the pain only when I engage in physical activity. What's wrong with me. Could these by osgood schlatters disease?
Avatar m tn * 2012 - intramedullary nailing of right tibia due to persistent stress fractures. No issues post surgery. pain free. This is when the second round of blood tests occurred to check for abnormal clotting risks. Haematologist cleared me saying everything was normal, I could even go back to donating blood. * 2018 - Potential slight PCL tear same leg. 3 months rest. No issues since. The Issue: I suffered a grade 2/3 tear in my right leg gastrocnemius.
Avatar m tn I tore my meniscus in my right knee two years ago playing basketball but, it has not completely healed. I cant do a full squat and i lost nine inches on my vertical jump (I'm down to 14) i also have some tendinitis in my left knee. After four hours of sports my knee swells and stiffens and is no longer mobile until i sleep it off.
Avatar n tn The ACL may tear, either partially or completely, as a result of a hard twist, sudden stop while running, jump landing or direct blow to the knee. You may experience a loud, painful pop when the ligament is first injured, followed by swelling of the knee. The pain and swelling of an ACL injury can last for several weeks. Short-term treatment can relieve the pain and inflammation, but it takes months for an ACL injury to heal completely.
Avatar n tn Several years ago a friend of mine and myself were playing basketball with some friends and my friend ended up getting a knee in the testies. It really hurt him for several days but he just thought it would go away on its own. Several days latter he started getting swelling that got worse and worse, he ended up finally going to the doctor because his testie sack was apparently pretty swollen.
Avatar f tn I am an athlete and I play basketball. I have extreme pain in my knee and calf while running. It also hurts to bend down and then stand back up. I also have discomfort walking up and down stairs, and sometimes walking. I don't know what it is but I would really appreciate some help and answers. Thanks.
Avatar f tn I myself, am still in the rehabilitation period after an ACL reconstruction whereby I am 11 months post op and hope to return playing basketball as soon as I am fit to do so. However I would like gain some knowledge with regards to how others in the same position as myself, make/made the mental and physical transition from strengthening and rehabilitating their knee to playing sport at preinjury level in a competitive environment.
Avatar f tn Research online links it to lower back pain or joint pain. Hurt my back playing high school football and my knee playing basketball in college so no way of telling if this is what's causing it. Anyways the pain had subsided for a while but it came back slightly and when I began to poke around it felt like it was in both trsticals and my lower abdominal as well. Had to leave work, uncomfortable but not extremely. More so just worried beccause it's my family jewels. Anyone ever had this?
Avatar m tn Two months ago i had a knee sprain from playing basketball. My knee was moderately swollen, it was also stiff and i was only able to bend my knee upto 90 degree. From a MRI diagnostics i found out that i had little tear on my ACL. After being on physical therapy for two months i was able to bend my knee more however my knee is still swollen, stiff and the pain is less. Moreover, yesterday my doctor injected depo-medrol on my infected joint.
Avatar n tn I try and workout daily and I played a lot of outdoor basketball between the ages of 18-24. About three months ago I had knee pain (not sure exactly what caused it) and it hurt to walk up and down stairs let alone jumping. I've stayed off my legs for the most part and my knee feels better, but it cracks and crackles now when I squat. I cannot see a doctor for another month and was wondering if I should be concerned.
569793 tn?1216887381 Things went well for the next two weeks and then I started to experience swelling around my knee. No pain, only swelling. After the season I took 5 weeks off like my doctor said, no activity whatsoever, only walking. I slowly started to ease my way back into playing, weight lifting to strengthen the muscles and running. The first two weeks were fantastic, no swelling. I took a day off and woke up the next day with swelling, for no reason.
