Diagnose My Knee

[olds]

I must have pulled/stretched a ligament in my left knee.
I have limited lateral support in one direction. If I catch my foot on something or try to push something to the right, I have weakness and pain.
I'ts also difficult to use stairs or shift my bike. I assume the latter is the angle I have to use to get my toe under the shifter.
Which ligament is this likely to be? Then I can google what exercises I need to do.

It's possible it's a re-injury from 36 years ago. I completely tore a ligament in half and ripped some cartilage that they had to remove. They sewed the ligament back together. I have a 6" scar on the inside of my left knee. I don't recall which ligament this was.

Yes, I have insurance and could go to the doctor who will then send me to physical therapy. We'll just cut out the middlemen and save some time sitting in waiting rooms.

Rar, rar, rar.....1980, acl, when the "practicing" Dr's took the replacement from the patella tendon. Thanks, Assholes.

Yeah, I'm 50. The upside is my hose is paid for and I don't need to borrow 3% money...wait...ow, efff...

It's but a small knee.

Don't know a thing about it, but an exercise where you feel the weakness and pain should be the right thing, no?

Kinda what I've been doing. Leg extensions from a seated position.

Is that a sock mark around your leg below your knee? You wear knee high socks? That's almost as scary as all the curly black crotch hair on that leg. And I think I see Jesus in your curlies. Or maybe it's Rosie O'Donnell.

It's from a knee brace I bought at Walgreens.

Yeah, I've heard guys your age often need a little help in that department. So you went with an implant on a payment plan?

Ahh, of course. I tried one of those before after a leg injury, but I couldn't find one that really fit. I kind of have overdeveloped legs from sports and bicycling and, err, other activities.

Obviously a few beers and the viagra route. Or is that the viagra root....:hmm:

Rosie O'donnell:biggrin:...

That yellow thing is the problem, i've never seen such a wild case of that.

Could be AIDS.

That would train the actual painful insertion to create more pain, to relieve the pay you would want to activate helper muscles.

You need to do squats and deads, pretty much everyone with any pain in their knees and/or hips need to do compound exercises that will help the muscles that can pull the weight take the actual weight.

The body is smart as fuck, it will allow helper muscles to grow automatically if you use exercises that activate them along with the damaged insertion.

Of course, i'd go get that fecker ultrasounded before i even thought of exercising it.

I know it's gonna hurt like a hot waxing when he pulls it off with all that curly-Q hair stuck to it. 😱

I personally believe that if that is not a Canada it can be a Russia that i see from my house and if so it will hurt to pull it off.

 

[SSSnail]

It is quite hairy, and not sharp at all.

 

[BoomerD]

Sucks...could be that you redamaged the repaired ligament...or it could just be old age taking its toll on your cartilage.
My meniscus cartilage is so far gone that I have symptoms similar to yours...plus, it's painful to the touch sometimes.

I'm just waiting...not very happily...for the time to get the knee replacement surgery that I KNOW I need...but do not want. My last ortho said I'm going to need it...but that I don't hurt badly enough to justify it. 😵 If this isn't bad enough...I can hardly wait. 😛

 

[lupi]

it's lupus.

 

[brianmanahan]

i cant get a good look with all that hair

gonna need to shave that knee and repost another pic

What he said.

 

[Sho'Nuff]

Other than your knee growing a vagina I see nothing wrong with you.

FWIW you are not the first.
