I've joined a gym recently and noticed that after a workout my knees seem to turn to jelly, is this normal?

They will if you over do it and you have only just started exercising.  Ask the gym for a plan of exercises.  You will ache until you get fitter and then you won't ache so much.  Also, make sure you warm up and cool down stretch that way you will avoid getting yourself an injury.

i had that problem, but without the redness.  I worked out at the gym allot and lifted heavy weights.  I thought it was some kinda virus i picked up from sharing equipment.  It turns out its some kinda skin condition, an allergy kinda.  It went away in time... you should get it looked at by a doctor immediately because the redness does sound a little peculiar.

I don't know...but I have had that situation several times. Normally from doing some different activity. For instance, when I moved at work I thought it would be a good idea (fitness wise) to use the steps more, visiting my friends four floors up. Well, I must have done that 5 times that day, walking up and down the stairs which I had not been doing.\n\nThe next two days my thighs and calves tightened up, hurt like all get out. So maybe this kind of activity started your pains.

You probably twisted your knee to some degree and may have sprained your patella tendon.  I will not go into all of the details but basically you may have acute patellar tendonitis now with swelling underneath the knee cap and through the tendon.  The swelling compresses when you extend the knee thus causing pain and preventing you from straightening the knee all the way out.  If this is not the case, there is a possibility that you may have torn some cartilage in the knee, this is known as a meniscus injury.  The cartilage tends to ooze fluid slowly after injury and although your knee may not have swollen immediately when playing the other day, you would have noticed the swelling by the next morning and again the swelling and the cartilage tear would produce pain when you extend the knee.  As far as playing soccer in 2 days, you should not.  You should put an ice pack on your knee for 15-20 minutes every 4 hours or so and make an appointment to see an orthopedist who will likely refer you to physical therapy for a few weeks ultimately depending upon his diagnosis.

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.

my only answer would be, because you're loosening up gas that is trapped in your stomach when you're creating pressure...that happens to me as well, and I feel much better, I think that's 1/2 the reason I work out !!! lmao

I had severely bruised both my knees in an auto accident.  It really messed up the sensation.  Like you, the structures were "fine", but since it injured the nerves, it took nearly a year to improve...actually, and at about 5 years it was about 75%.  Now, 15 years out, my knees feel good, but they're still not quite right and certain sensations a little strange.\n\nI would imagine that a little brief, gentle massage along with heat/cold/heat/cold alternating (2 mins@) every day would help to stimulate the nerves to regenerate more effectively.  \n\nIn the meantime, do whatever level of exercise that you can; this will speed healing.  Be patient, and remind your knees that it's safe to come out to play again!\n\nLove & Light!

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 ;-)

Interesting, I have had this feeling before and this is what I have done: Get plenty of sleep (at least 8 hours), eat healthy (fruits, protein [chicken], salad, fibers [oatmeal, breads], drink lots of water) 3-5 small meals a day, and get rid of any stinking thinking. Its important to stretch and drink water before, during and after your exercises. The most important thing I have done is stand up, bend slightly over, put your hands on your knees, and squat down slowly while keeping your hands on your knees as added support, then stand up slowly while keeping your hands on your knees, do this 15-20 times BEFORE doing any exercises such as running, squats, any leg lifts, anything that bends the knees - this warms up the knee joints. Also, wear comfortable shoes. Run on grass rather than a hard surface as it takes the impact away from your knee joints. Consider swimming and cycling as a good warmup. Maybe do lighter weight for a while to save your joints. Drink plenty of fluids to keep your joints active. Maybe look into some joint repair supplements at GNC. I do circuit training and I get a great workout without the heavy weights. My knees are fine now. Good luck.

I have the same thing in my elbows when I do push-ups. That did happen to me once in my knees. I had been over-exercising my body, not giving my self enough time to rest. The popping started first, then I got tendinitis in both my knees. \nI would recommend thinking about finding another exercise to stay in shape. The popping sound is the sound of your ligaments and tendons snapping across your bones. To much of that repetitively, and you will cause damage.

Same thing happen to me it started to swell and caused me alot of pain in my left knee. I did permanent damage to it. I pulled the muscles and did a bunch of damage behind the knee cap. It hasn't been the same now, if I do anything to strenuous it flares up. I have to take vitamins now just for my knee, and yeah it sucks, but its not worth the pain. In other words your joint is stressed out.

well just politely ask him, he wont be mad. also make sure you ice it and maybe while doing some movement involved activities were a knee brance or wrap it to provent furhter injury. If you feel that incofindent and to afraid to ask your gym teacher, try calling a doctor or google it or something and try to find an answer. (By the way, make sure you ask him before gym, therefore you can sit out and not have to waste his time explaining your issue during the class)

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.

dude, i'm happy to help, but you have to take your picture off your little square. seriously.\nanyways, this is normal, your muscles are getting used to the stress you've put on them. you will probablly feel sore if you go really hard one day, but if you continue to work out everyday, it is normal, and GOOD not to feel sore after every workout.\nkeep it up!

Id agree with seeing a physical therapist which i am or a doctor doc would be better to see first. being your not having any pain it cant be cartiliage it could be a bone chip or  osteroposis but id believe that if your knee is snapping youd either be in pain or be heavily swollen. if you dont want to see the dr. right away id suggest doing some stretches because it may also be fluid in the knee. stretching would eliminate that problem for the most part.

yes that's suppose to happen. What you should of done though after your workout was drink a lot of water it helps prevent that soreness that you feel. Just wait for the soreness to go then start lifting again

yes it is normal... I try to massage my leg when the crap first happens and flex my leg back and forth. The reason is you are dehydrated or lacking potassium. Drink plenty of water and eat some bananas.. This happens to  me usually in the spring and summer. It only hurts the next day when I jerk my leg quickly to deal with th e cramp, when I am sleeping it wakes me up... \n\nEat some bananas, drink some water and award me with the points in the morning.. Promise it Will be better!
