Have you ever torn your ligament on your 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..

I have torn my left ACL...waited until December to have surgery. Which I am thankful I did because my knee isn't giving out anymore. Every person heals and recoops differently, so it's hard to say exactly what you are looking for but I can give you an idea. Whatever you do, do not let your knee get stiff...it will take ten times longer to get back into the swing of things. Like a week after my surgery I started PT...slowly but then finished within a few months. My muscles weren't building up so mine took a bit longer. April is looking good for you, but like I said everyone is different. The surgery is very painful but it is worth it if you don't want to keep falling from an unstable knee. Also, make sure you do the home excersises that PT gives you...it will help greatly. Hope this helps

There are no ligaments in your chest. If you pulled a muscle, there is nothing you can do but wait it out. Ibuprophen for the pain if you really need it, and try not to strain it further.

yes, that sounds like the right thing to do. ice on and off 20 minute intervals, elevate, stay off it for a while, u know- all that stuff. if the problem persists, consult a physician.\nit doesnt sound like u really did anything significantly damaging to ur knee from ur description, like i doubt u tore anything, because u experienced no pain right away. it sounds like it may be a bone bruise around ur patella, or something along those lines.\nu probably should see a doctor if it keeps hurting, or just to be on the safe side, yknow? but i wouldnt be too worried, it doesnt sound terrible

I fell and landed with the inside of my knee on the floor. Kind of a contortionist landing and not much pain except for the impact. I forgot about it.\nTwo years later I started using the treadmill and my knee began to hurt. An MRI showed that when I fell, I had torn the medial miniscus (the cushion between tibia and femur-on the inner part of knee) The miniscus doesnt have nerve endings so I didnt feel pain from the tear when I fell. Nor does the miniscus heal.(At the time of the MRI report, I couldnt remember ever hurting my knee, until I thought back). \nI went through physical therapy which alleviated most of the pain and lessened the occurences of pain. The part of it that tore away, floats around and occasionally causes pain.  I reinjured the same knee and had more PT but now, it will hurt at the end of the day usually if at all, if I use the stairs a lot that day, bicycle etc.\nPoint is, you could have done something to injure it and passed it off. \nHave it checked out with diagnosic tests, xray, MRI etc. If you get regular xrays make sure that it is light enough to see soft tissue as well as dark enough to see bone. (Just tell the tech youre an xray tech and they'll be glad to oblige your request to show the soft tissue, and cross table lateral)o/w theres a lot of ego in that job and requests from patients arent taken well.Theres a sign on the lateral knee view that can, if taken properly, show a sign of trauma. The lateral knee xray should also be taken "cross table" to show any fluid level indicating trauma.\nI'm not diagnosing. Just my experience. I'm sure you've been careful to stretch before and after running. Running is very hard on the knees anyway.

Yes, I was running accross the street in a pouring rain. When a black car came out from behind a stationary object. They were about 30 feet away going 35 mph (that's what they told the police since that was the speed limit). I was right in front of the driver when I tried to stop and he tried to pull over to the curb as much as he could. As the car got closer, I thought about a lot of things. I was in my first year of marriage, my wife was 5 months pregnant. I finally just surrendered to the Lord's will. The car hit me with the front fender in my right leg. I flipped up in the air and landed in a 3-point stance, facing almost the opposite direction.\nNot only did I suirvive, but my leg wasn't broken either. It truly was the hand of God.Oh yes, by the time I landed, it had stopped raining! Now all of this happened in a fraction of a second!

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.

i once slipped at the airport and tore my newly bought thin cotton bottoms. The tear was huge, from my crotch upto my knee. As luck wud have it i wasnt wearing my underwears, and it was a free show for everybody. Rushed back home not even waiting for my guest whom i'd gone to pick up. The wait from the lobby to to my car was the longest of my life.

One thing I will add here to what others have said is.... if you are in the habit of crossing your legs .... stop.\nI was doing that and because of it started pain and numbness in my lower leg - more on the left than right because thats the one I use to cross out of habit the most.  What happens is that you can end up compressing the nerve bundle that goes just along side the outside of your lower leg just up near the knee (you know where we get that red spot from crossing sometimes).  If this happens often enough the nerves become damaged.\nMine did and I lost all feeling and control of my leg from my knee down.  \nAt the time all the doctors and specialist thought it was something in my back (pinched nerve etc) - they did x-rays, MRI's, nerve tests - everything and it came down to me crossing my legs.  I was put in a brace just so I could walk and try to maintain my balance and with time and determination my nerves regenerated themselves.\nSo fair warning to all - if you cross your legs - my advise and my doctors advise, neurologist advise - stop!
