knee pain after squatting

It does not restore the same level of function that the person had before the damage to the knee joint began. The knee will not bend as far as it did before you developed knee problems, but the surgery will allow you to stand and walk for longer periods without pain. After surgery, you may be allowed to resume activities such as golfing, riding a bike, swimming, walking for exercise, dancing etc.

I was doing quite well until I had a heavy practice and the following day I woke up with a little stiffness and aching in the posterolateral section of my knee with full extension and full squat. The pain was mostly during deep squatting at the very bottom (please don't argue with me about deep squatting because I will prove you wrong with numerous research/peer-reviewed articles).

But then up and pain subsided. Possibly knee cap moved back in place. Now then in morning knee lil swollen, pain when walking, no bending or squatting which would lead my proffessional opinion to be you over streched tendons, possibly a slight tear. Use an ice pack for 2 days twice a day 30 mins each. No more weights till Friday. If everything returns to normal leave the squats out for an additional week. However by this Friday if knee is still the same, go see family doctor.

Twisted knee. Feel discomfort when walking,bending,or squatting. No swelling.

A piece of torn cartilage may get caught between moving parts of the knee joint and causes the sound. A clicking sound may be heard when moving the knee. The pain may be worse when squatting. I hope this helps.

I was still experiencing pain and tightness in my knee as well as in the quad tendon but have been able to resume training with running, squatting, jumping, etc. Laying on my back, lifting my leg, and bending my leg back and forth usually creates some discomfort and a little grinding in the knee. At night prior to going to bed I always stretch. The other night I was performing the couch stretch. During the stretch I heard and felt a very loud pop directly in my knee.

I can do a squat and feel a only a minor discomfort in the knee, after a few more hours it eventually dissipates to no pain and just a feeling that something isn't right when I squat. The next day I can go out for a run and feel no pain.But if I try to jump high, the pain comes back. I had x-rays and the Doctor told me everything looked normal and it was probably inflamation and told me to rest. This started about 8 months ago. I was squatting down on my heels playing with my kids.

I play ice hockey, and over the last 5 years I have had recurring knee issues with my right knee. My right knee clicks and pops a lot when I walk. Now, tha doesn't generally cause pain, but any time this problem does occur, it is accompanied by related issues with it. For example, if I try to get on my knees (happens a lot in hockey) I have a lot of trouble and pain getting up off my right knee. I feel like the shin moves inward.

A few minutes later my knee felt tight and like I had a bruise. After looking at it, I noticed a golf size swelling on the top of my knee. When touched it felt like liquid in it. I went to the Dr. the next day and he said it was Bursitis and to watch for redness and hot feeling as that is a sign of infection. I have tried to ice it and rest whenever possible (not easy w/ 3 little ones). The swelling has subsided but the wierd thing is the bruising.

I was squatting when I delivered my son...kind of. I was on one knee and leaning over the foot of the bed. I started out pushing in the tub but had to get out. Then I was pushing standing up...ended up that the squat was better and he came right out. Delivering on your back is convenient for whoever is catching but it closes your pelvis some. It is better if you can get upright and gravity helps. It may seem strange because you so many labors with women on their back.

Had no problems with my knee until this fall in early January. I fell directly on my knee, tore pants and the skin off my knee. About 8 hours after the fall I went to do a complete squat (to the floor) and it took my breath away. I have difficulty kneeling on it and squatting and getting back up. Bending knee to put pants on is not comfortable. MRI says "minor superficial fissuring of the articular cartilage over both patella facet and depths of the trochlear groove is appreciated".

About 5 weeks ago I was trying to do rapid-squats without any warm up (yes, stupid, I know), and got this really sharp pain in my right knee, kind of under the kneecap - in the muscle area of my right leg I've been trying to not run at all to aggravate it, and trying to keep it straight, but I'm still taking walks on it. The pain has gotten a lot better, and it's only painful when I squat, kneel or bend my legs (the least painful).

Since the surgery I have intermittent pain behind my knee. I believe it is the hamstring tendon. The pain is intense after kneeling or squatting. It goes away fairly quickly. What is the best treatment?

Diagnosis of my injury after twisting it when turning a sharp corner when running in house. Felt pull/tug 4 inches or so below middle of knee. Discomfort bending,walking,sitting, squatting, etc. What did I fo. No swelling. What treatments to help it heal. What's my prognosis?

I now have mild swelling legs below my knee. I still can feel sharp pain going up or down staircase. I cant even squat as the pain is sharp and I just don't like it. Any one who can tell me if this is normal after the arthroscopy ?

In addition, during swim season my pain was much much lessened (on a daily basis). After swim season, the pain was generally worse. Also, various anti-inflammatories alleviate the pain almost completely. However, it seems that none are suitable for long term use.

My husband (68 yrs old) bent his knees squatting all the way to the floor a week ago... knew he stretched them too far afterwards. Couple of days ago, he felt his knee "extend" too much just walking in the house. We are thinking it's a hyper-extended hamstring tendon. Yesterday, we noticed the back of the leg at the knee... about 2 in. above the bend, and in the bend, and about 1/3 way down the calf is bruised & is slightly swelled. How should this be treated?

When i sit in a tall chair and my feet doesnt reach the floor, but instead my knee and lower leg just hangs in the air, in this position im feeling pain after a short time. Not strong pain, but its there. Pain almost always disappear when i sleep or when i fully extend my legs for a while. I have tried those squatting excersices to see if it gets worse, 90% of the time im not feeling worse pain. I think i will go check it out, im thinking of it all the time, im really anxious atm.

Hello. Last week I felt a pain in my right knee when walking downstairs. That happens sometimes and usually goes away the next day but this time it didn't and has been going on for over a week now. The pain is dull and not very strong. I noticed it happens when I shift more weight to the right leg- mostly when walking up and down stairs or when squatting and then standing up. It does not hurt when: I stand (even for a long time) or walk.

I've been having a pain just below my knee, the top of my tibia it's right before tendon starts. Anyway, this pain has been going on for about 2 weeks, I've noticed no skin discoloration. There's mild swelling and it hurts to bend my leg as well and squatting, jumping, stairs, etc.. I also have palpable pain, when tapping on the bone lightly, hurts and even hitting it against edge of my car accidently tonight with little force almost had me in tears..

Pain in the back of knee when walking up and down steps. Also buckling and giving in while walking at times. I am a competitive gymnasts. The pain is right where you bend your knee in the back What could this be?

Running forward aggravates it, but running side-step does not (except when I plant hard on my right foot to begin side-stepping left). Squatting/standing from seated position can cause pain. Pain flairs sometimes just when I get out of bed. 43 yr - Male - played competitive level soccer for over 30 years. Recently tennis. No previous - serious knee injuries. Hoping to get insights from this community before paying to see an Ortho. Any sugestions?
