if someone lose his patella in someway does this lead to disturbances in walking?

The patella is the knee cap, not the knee.  My dad had his patella removed after suffering a particularly bad injury in the military.  That was over 40 years ago, and he still gets around fine, no limp, only thing is that that knee seems to get sore more quickly during strenuous activity.  He works as a land surveyor and walks constantly, outdoors over hill and dale, with no ill effect worse than stiffness at the end of the day.

That's really hard to say since those injuries occur across the full scope of your body. To continue losing weight, an even more significant diet change is recommended. Of course, this can easily become unhealthy, so proceeed with caution. Depending on your knee injury, I would suggest walking for an hour or so a day. There are plenty of benefits with that, including weightloss. Yoga is another more alternative source for weight loss. It helps the body function better as a whole and with more, shall I say, coherence and efficiency and aids in the loss of weight. Water aerobics is a good idea, since it greatly reduces your weight and the amount of stress and tension put on joints. Other than that, I can't think of much other advice other than to simply maintain your current weight and wait until your body heals to continue your normal routine.

Recovery or partial recovery of movement is possible.  Consult a Physiatrist (not a psychiatrist).  This specialist works with the physical movements of the body.

Most disease will eventually render a person unable to walk. Cancer, Aids, HCV, ... as they get stronger the body gets weaker and you become disabled.

Yes, but you need to get emergency care if you are in doubt or if you feel you are in any way unsure of the emergency of your medical problem.\n\nBlod clots are not something to play around with and if you need a blood thinner to dissolve this clot (? if that is what you indeed have) you won't get it without medical care and will jeopardize your health by neglecting this.\n\nSciatica can also cause leg pain as can knee pain...but it sounds as if your pain is in the general area of the leg?  Seek help if you think this isn't something that can wait until you see the doctor.

Surgary is most likely. You can eather change your knee to fit your lifestyle or change your lifestyle to fit your knee. Healing time is 1month+. It might not feel the same but most likely if you have surgary it will. Hope you fell better.

Not sure but is it possible that there could be medical complications arising at some point later in time due to excessive marching or anything?  Sounds really ignorant on my part but can your bones break easily or anything?  Medical is the only thing I can think of....Military anywhere is not big on spending money for something that was done/happened prior to enlistment if something were to happen medically.

there's a sac of synovial fluid behind your kneecap, and if it becomes punctured somehow, it can cause severe pain and swelling. I am not saying that this is what's happened to you, but... Please put aside your fear of doctors and go see one. You need an x-ray, possibly an mri, and it's not a DIY sort of thing. Not maintenance you can do at home, or have someone diagnose over the internet.

I think you could get a better answer from your orthopedic doctor or other ortho doctors, It would of course limit the functionality of the knee but you should not get disabled, good luck

you should always wear a rubber.\n\nand yes, if she's a walking disease, you shouldn't be in there to begin with.

Probably not if you can still move it, but it would be best if you went to see a doctor to have it checked out.

no i dont think so but it could have made his front leg sore so he was putting more weight on his back legs or trying to keep weight off it or someting and put more pressure on his hind legs witch he uses to push himself off with

To me, it sounds like overexertion and possibly a blood clot in his leg or somewhere else in his body, or dehydration, or a combination of something...but i'm not a doctor in any way...\n\nSorry for your loss...you have my condolences

Probably compensation for an unnatural move...it doesn't feel right, so your body tries to compensate for it.
