There are many components to the knee making it vulnerable for various types of injuries. Many injuries are successfully treated conservatively, while others require surgery to correct.  You should see a doctor as soon as possible as this is essential in case you may have suffered a ligament tear.  A tear would most likely require surgery if you are looking for a good long-term outlook. \n\nIn the meantime, follow a RICE program (an acronym which stands for rest, ice, compression and elevation).\n\nMore info on the treatment of knee injuries on site below.

As a PT, I've dealt with many patients 'sidelined' by knee pain. It all depends on what specifically is occurring in your knee (the joints above and below can also be a contributing factor). A physical therapist will examine you thouroughly and establish an exercise program/regimen to assist you in your recovery as well as provide manual therapy if indicated.  PT is a great option for you for any neuromusculoskeletal problem. :)

When I had ACL/MCL resconstruction, I had quite a bit of swelling. To the point that my skin was almost hard. That only lasted a short time though. Be sure to keep off of it. I got up and around too quick and ended up undoing my surgery. If there is any temperature changes on your knee or your knee becomes red, go back and see your doctor. You only have your two knees, take care of them....ask someone who knows. I have had surgery twice now, need a knee replacement and am only 31 years old.\nUse rubbing alcohol or peroxide to clean around your stitches. It bites a bit, but offers the best way to keep them infection free ;-)

Hi - well I have a lot of prior history on my knees - I had a ski accident 9 years ago that blew my knee out completely ligaments and meniscus.\n\nIf you are have knee problems go to your Doc and get a referal to a good knee surgeon - he will probably carry out an MRI scan to see what is inside.  Depending on that result he may want to scope you (arthroscopy) using fibre optics.\n\nIf you have meniscus problems the surgeon will probably have to trim it and remove any bits which have come lose or are catching in your knee.  This is not as bad as it sounds but can be painful for a while.\n\nIf you want to seek unofficial comments have a look at this website

Did you have a knee injury in the past or are you significantly overweight?  Usually when you have "buckling" of the knee that comes on suddenly, or has been going on for a while, it's due to injury in the meniscus or the covering across the knee cap that holds the tendons together.  You can have laproscopic surgery for this and it's very effective.  Look up ACL and it will give you some good information regarding this condition.  \n\nTrying to "strengthen" an area that is torn inside will only cause more damage.  See and orthopedic doc first.  He can also recommend proper strengthening exercises if appropriate.

Well first you have to figure out what type of hamstring you have. Grade 1,2 or 3.\n\nGrade 1:\n-Might have tightness in the thigh. \n-May be able to walk properly. \n-Probably won't have much swelling. \n-Lying on front and trying to bend the knee against resistance probably won't produce much pain. \n\nGrade 2:\n-Probably cannot walk properly. \n-May get occasional sudden twinges of pain during activity. \n-May notice swelling. \n-Pressing in causes pain. \n-Bending the knee against resistance causes pain. \n-Might be unable to fully straighten the knee. \n\nGrade 3-\n-Unable to walk properly without the aid of crutches. \n-In severe pain. \n-Bad swelling appear immediately. \n-A static contraction will be painful and might produce a bulge in the muscle. \n-Expect to be out of competition for 3 to twelve weeks or more. \n\n     After you figure out which one you have here is how to heal it:\n\nGrade 1:\n-Use a compression bandage or heat retainer until you feel no pain. \n-See a sports injury professional who can advise on rehabilitation and strengthening. \n\nGrade 2-\n-Ice, compress, elevate, use crutches for 3 to 5 days. \n-See a sports injury specialist who can advise on rehabilitation.\n\nGrade 3:\n-Seek medical attention immediately!!! \n-R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate.) Use crutches. \n-See a sports injury professional who can advise on rehabilitation and prevention.

I have the same problem. I went to my doctor and he said that I have bursitis of the knee. I also have tendinitis. I run Cross Country and Track for my high school and I didn't want to stop running so he told me that as long as I'm careful I can keep running. There are special braces I guess you would call them available at Academy. There's also a link on line where you can find them. I also take glucosamine chondroitin which really helps to rebuild joints. I hope this helps you out. Let me know how you feel.

It all depends on exatly what you did and to which of the thigh muscles.  Did you pull a groin muscles or hamstring?  DId you bruise your quads?  \n\nA lot of sports injuries are treated with RICE:  Rest, ice, compression and elevation ... but once again it depends on exactly what you did.  If it's real bad I suggest you see a doctor.

Oh it's very easy to damage your knee, especially after you have already had an injury.  You have to be very careful.  You cannot do the things you did prior to injury.  Any twisting, over extending, bouncing especially will hurt it and I bet it's full of fluid isn't it?  You can actually feel it.  That is when you know you've reinjured it.  Same thing with the back.  The pain in your buttocks is from the sciatica nerve that runs through your SI joint in the back.  That is the most common area for both injury and pain.  Age has nothing to do with it...I have had a bad back since around 19 years of age...threw it out I can't even count how many times.  Finally I just had to give up things I knew were bad (most exercises and sports included in that!) and do more back-friendly ones.  When I was pregnant with my 3rd I guess I had put on a lot of wieght during that pregnancy and my knee was in agony for 6 months till I dropped all the weight.  Being overweight is really hard on the knees...on the feet too.\n\nSo now you know that you should avoid some of what you do or just be careful not to overdo it and go easy when exercising.  Give it time to heal before doing anything again and just go slow and see what happens.

It is going to take a while:\n\n"Physiotherapy\nAfter dislocating a kneecap, you may have\nto wear a knee immobiliser for up to six\nweeks to stop the leg bending.\nLater, special exercises can restore the\nknee to health and physiotherapy will help\nrestore strength to the leg and knee joint.\nWhile a meniscus is healing, you may need\nto use crutches."\n\nGo here for a very informative brochure: http://hcd2.bupa.co.uk/fact_sheets/pdfs/Dislocated_kneecap.pdf#search='dislocated%20kneecaptreatment'

Well, I'm recovering from a broken kneecap. My Doctor told me to lay on my back on the floor.\nDraw my one knee up so it points to the ceiling while the foot is flat on the floor. Keep it there.\nThe other knee? Keeping your leg straight, lift that leg about 10 inches off the ground & hold for 10 seconds. Do 100 daily. This strengthens the knee.

First of all, you need more milk! Then you can get some knee braces and then more milk. Then so some knee exercises with weights and then more milk. Then stretch it out then put some ice and then... go to sleep and let the healing begin. Wake up, and then more milk.

I've had and my knee doctor told me to rest it by not doing running or anything like that since that is what causes it.  You also need to strengthn the knee muscles.  what you should do is buy leg weights and slowly get up to like ten pounds ten reps 3 sets of straight leg raises with foot slightly turned out a bit.  knee braces will help you out a lot my knee doctor told me to get custom made ones and they are worth the money since they fit the knee and help them.  also get shoes with good arch supports since that also tends to be the problem.

If you recently injured it is likely in an inflamed stated i.e. red, hot, swollen, and painful.  So the best way to handle that for the next few days is RICE (rest ice compression elevation) \nrest- take it easy respect pain and don’t do any thing that hurts it you can make it worse, but you should still be active because too little activity can cause your muscles to atrophy and cause more problems besides your knee will like the blood flow just be smart and slow\nIce - get an ice pack and use it for about 5-15/hour minutes whenever the pain goes away and you have a little bit of a numbing effect ice is a natural anti-inflammatory.\nCompression maybe an ace bandage around the knee NOT VERY TIGHT! You can wrap it while you ice to help limit swelling\nElevation when you ice or are just kicking back elevate your knee but that only works when you get the knee higher than your heart, elevating will help with swelling as well
