If you have, could you describe how? Try to determine how one can tear his ligament on his leg.

You can tear a ligament quite easily buddy, Its like stretching a rubber band and then pulling so much it just snaps.. You will find a quite suttle pain or a tightness but after a few days it will get back to normal, try a nice warm bath and then rub some massage oil into affected area..

you are probably thinking about the vastus medialis - the tear shaped muscle on the inside of your leg \n\nthere are several other big muscles that run over your knee including the vastus lateralis on the other side of your leg \n\nthe VM muscle pulls the kneecap up and into its natural groove and if often weak in people that injure their knees \n\n\n\nyou can exercise this muscle safetly in 2 ways even with an in injured knee \n\nlie on the ground, back down with your legs straight - now tense that inner leg muscle and feel it pull your knee cap up (put your hand on the kneecap to feel this) - do this 30 times and the do the other leg then do it 10 times but hold the contraction for 10 seconds on each leg again\n\nnow raise one leg slightly off the ground turn your foot slightly out from your body and repeat pulling the kneecap up - hold for 10 sec and lower leg - repeat 10 times \n\n\ndo these exercises every day for 2 weeks then once every 2 days thereafter - adding in more reps and holding the squeeze for longer - work up to 30 sec

Wasn't running but was hiking and felt a weird twinge in my leg, I thought that I should stop and rest and massage or stretch but the I thought "No, this isn't a good spot and I've only got 2 more miles to go." Hurt to walk or stand for next 3 days.\n\nFeel free to laugh.

Of course you're able to walk again, but it will take awhile, sometimes up to a year or more.  A successful repair involves completely replacing the torn ligament, and there are a number ways that this can be done. Your doctor will determine the best option. \n\nOnce the ligament has healed, the next step is to work the muscles around it to avoid this happening again. Muscles control the movement of the knee joint. Rehabilitation of these muscles is most important following an ACL injury or reconstruction. \n\nThis is a long process required to get back to normal, but not an impossible one. Of course, it depends on the overall tear. But just a note, if you pay attention to NHL hockey, Steve Yzerman of the Detroit Red Wings had a completely torn ACL and came back to play hockey. Until he finally retired last year.\n\nGood luck

the bone will heal fine on its own, even stronger than before.\n\nsadly, your ligaments can only be repaired in surgery, sometimes not even then.\n\ni had to give up skateboarding because i neglected my ankles, so be safe. give it time and take the right steps to healing properly.

http://orthopedics.about.com/cs/sprainsstrains/a/hamstring.htm\nThis website is very informative and I hope it is of some help to you.  I did the same years ago and it HURTS!  Ouchy!  If it doesn't hurt anymore you should be ok but remember some things tore inside so be gentle on yourself.

Hi well i actually done the same thing about 7 years ago while holding my daughter.I tore the lateral main ligament straight off my ankle.I was in a cast for 6 wks,came out that didnt help.Had physio for 3 mths thats didnt help.My foot was still giving away a lot by now so i was put on the waiting list for a operation.It involved stapling the main ligament bck on to my lateral side off my ankle,a cast for 6 wks,physio after.7 years on i dodnt really have no problems at all with my ankle,i get some aching in that area thats all.The consultant may want to do some sort off operation on your foot,as once you have torn your ligaments and you ankle is giving away the only option is a operation,i went through it all and nothing helped part from surgery.Good Luck anyway.

in the knee there are four ligaments, the anterior cruciate, the posterior cruciate, the lateral collateral and the medial collateral ligaments.  injuries to these can include a partial sprain or a complete rupture.  Typically when injured there is a lot of swelling and considerable pain in the area.  the severity of the sprain is described using degrees.  1st degree would be a minor sprain, which would still allow for walking and use of the limb, but there would be some pain and a little bit of inflammation.  A second degree sprain can range from moderate pain and swelling to a more serious amount of pain, swelling and joint instability.  The person may or may not be able to walk, or would need crutches or a walking aid to get around.  Rehabilitation may include surgery or strengthening of the surounding musculature.  A third degree sprain is a rupture of that ligament.  this would result in instability of the joint and surgery would be required to safe guard the knee.

Sounds to me like you jarred the knee.\nIt can happen from an impact like jumping in BB. If you are lucky its only a jarred knee which will take a few days to sort itself out. It could be ligament damage but thats unlikely as you would be in severe pain constantly and would know straight away. Try getting a crep (sorry i dont know the spelling, but basically its a tight elastic material) bandage and leave it on it for support when your are moving around.\nOther then that, ice it for a while to make sre there is no internal bleeding, then apply a heat pack to it every half an hour for 10 mins and see if that sorts it out.\nYou should go to see a sports doctor or a physio either way, an ordinary GP will just refer you to a specialist if he does not solve it.

When our high school marching band was away on tour, one guy was playing a video game and two were watching holding on to the sides - \n\nI dragged my shoes up and down the rug hallway, and zapped the player on the ear - hit his ear and hands\nand the hands of the two guys watching - A triple!

I think what cause that could of been to much pressure on the knee and it cause to dislocate I suffer from the same thing when mine first did that I couldn't move my leg either I screamed so hard and my whole leg got swollen and bruised and got rushed to hospital.....now it goes by to its position now when it does dislocate........\n\nI would try and not put too much pressure on it and be easy when it comes to running or turning round to quickly I think that can also trigger it off.\n\nI hope this helps cause I can feel your pain since this happened to me not in Drama class but in my home at the top of the stairs!

I saw the documentary on it. They concluded that it was accidental. He broke his leg and the wound got infected and killed him.

he could but it might not be the greatest idea......he may end up hurting himself again and even worse than before.....his best bet is to check with the doctor first to see how he's healing.\n\nif does get to ride tell him good luck for me!
