I had knock-knees when I was a child and I eventually grew out of it... sometimes it is a part of the growing process.\n\nI looked up some info on this website, so go here http://www.childrenshospital.org/az/Site1103/mainpageS1103P0.html\n\nThis is a small exert from the article at the above website:\nA standing child whose knees touch but ankles do not, is usually said to have knock-knees. During childhood, knock-knees are a part of normal growth and development. They usually become apparent when a child is 2 to 3 years old and may increase in severity until about age 4. If this condition does not appear until a child is 6 years of age or older, however, an underlying bone disease may be present. \nDuring childhood, knock-knees usually develop as an effort to maintain balance, particularly when the child begins to walk or if the child's foot rolls inward or tuns outward. When a child has knock-knees, both knees usually lean inward to an equal degree. One knee, however, may "knock" less than the other, or may even remain straight. \n\nOverweight children are most likely to develop knock-knees, because their developing bones and joints have trouble supporting their weight and they tend to lean inward. Knock-knees usually correct themselves by the time a child is five years old. Occasionally, however, they persist into adolescence. \n\nSevere knock-knees usually wind up restricting a child's physical activities. The child cannot run easily and may not want to participate in sports or other physical activities. If knock-knees persist into adolescence, problems of appearance as well as physical activity may arise.

Like I said in the other post, arthritis, a tear, go to doc and get it checked.  Meanwhile, rest leg when possible and take two advil.  Call me in the  morning if you want, as well ;) .

Congratulations on the win!\n\nPity about your knee. I think you should do two things:\n\n1 If this is persistent, get some advice from a good sports physio or a specialist doctor. It doesn't sound within the normal range of post-ride aches and pains.\n\n2 Change your pedals for a set with more float - both frogs and eggbeaters are good in this respect. Maybe even consider returning to platforms. Try a few vigorous training rides on platforms and see if this cures the problem. \n\nIf you have the typical woman's wide pelvis your knee joints will be inwardly rotated to a greater degree than some (straight up and down) women and most men. You require the maximum floatability because the anatomical relationship in the length from hip joint to knee joint causes a lot more rotational movement of the long female femur. \n\nDon't risk your knees, you'll spend more than half your life regretting it. I speak from experience. I'm a lifelong mad-keen cyclist. Now I'm in my mid-50's a ride every day with clicky knees and a dull, precisely bounded pain somewhere in the medial side of my right knee joint. Getting up stairs is painful for me and sometimes so acute I think my right knee is going to give way. Its a heavy price to pay when I still have maybe 35 years cycling left in me.

you met a minor inflammation.  Dont worry it can be cured.  please apply MOBIX ointment on the knee and surrounding area.

The correct spelling is "Vicar's knee"\n\nThis condition, like prepatellar bursitis, may occur after repeated friction between the skin and the patella. The popular name, clergyman's knee, indicates that it is due to a position where the patient kneels more erect than the position that causes housemaid's knee.\n\nTreatment of this condition involves firm bandaging of the knee and avoidance of kneeling. The bursa may need to be aspirated. In chronic bursitis a lump may require excision.

The best thing to do, since no one on the questionnaire thing here can actually see your knee, is to call you Dr. and try to go back and tell him about any concerns or problems. I think it would be unwise to accept any medical advise from any one except a qualified M. D. Oh and ask him about rehabilitative water therapy. Like water aerobics!  Its very low impact and highly recommended for people with your nature of injury! Good luck    Kareena

Sounds like a HINGE joint.  Not sure if you're referring to the type of joint or the name.  Elbows and knees are types of hinge joints

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.

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.

Hi Jessica,  I had a total knee replacement in 2001 and i had 2 surgery before that. Has your doctor put dye in your knee to see if they can pick up anything wrong with your knee?? If your not happy with your doctor go see a different doctor. About the arthrits in your knee,you probably do have it in your knee. I did before the total knee replacement and i know how painful arthrits can be. Wishing all the luck in the world.Find a doctor who cares about your health. A Friend.\n\n  Clowmy

be careful and take care of your knees.  also make sure your muscles in the thigh are equally developed, i didn't do this and now the knee cap moves up and out over the end of the femoral head rather than in that groove where it's supposed to be causing bone degeneration and a lot of pain.  see your doctor and find out how to take care of yourself.  if you let knee problems continue you will be limited later in life with the activities that you can do.

1. Glucosamine\n2. Elastic knee brace/bandage\n3. Ice/Ibuprofen, etc. to reduce swelling/inflammation\n4. Stretch beforehand. Put your knees together, feet close together as well, and rotate your knees slowly in circles, first one way then the other for about 5 turns.\n5. If those don't help, you better see a doc.---------\n--------------\n6. Um, like the other person said, don't wear heels. (Duh to me)
