Gender:  |  Are there any other problems? Pain, whatever. That could be injury or something. A joint effussion. It's not normal. I feel like it's something to see a doctor about. Getting rid of the fluid could help it it hurts or is stiff by that may be just treating a symptom, not the cause. |

Gender: | The pain is not too bad, however sometimes it feels like it's right on the muscle above the knee (Left knee, right side muslce) And it's very stiff.I can't fully bend the knee, when I do it hurts on the back side of the knee(right side again)not too sure what the names are. But there is two long (tendions ?? ) right beside each other. Also when I bend it , I can feel it in the calve and shin..I have gone to the doctor twice , first was the very first day and then about two weeks later. I'm thinking I will go and see him again on Monday to see what he says. I wish I could describe it better. |

Gender: | Well I don't think it's tendon. It's most likely going to be something internal. Which could mean ligaments or meniscus or both. Hopefully not but you really need a diagnoses. See if the doctor can either pinpoint the injury with the appropriate tests or order an MRI. Sometimes injuries happen in pairs or even triples so that makes it very difficult. The fluid can be your knee making more fluid as a protective mechanism (run amock) or it can actually be bleeding or both. And use RICE! Except for compression unless it helps the pain but even then it's a mixed bag. |

Gender: | I take it an orthopedist presents a similar problem. BTW, here is a cool page with the common knee tests. http://www.sportsdoc.umn.edu/Clinica...m/lachmans.htm It step by step with pictures plus vids with normal and symptomatic results. If you were to study them with your wife you could probably do them. And if you look up the individual tests and what they indicate it may help a bit. Also check this post for some other test plus more info: http://www.bodybuilding.net/17151-25-post.html There are a couple other articles in here as well. |

Gender: | Bring Back the Shoulder Along with Shoulder Savers by Eric Cressey here is another good one from the great folks at DieselCrew.com Bringing Back the Shoulders Pdf. And here is the post with Shoulder Savers again: http://www.bodybuilding.net/22927-34-post.html Both of these are about Pre-Hab. If you have a present injuries your needs may differ. But if you want to keep your shoulders healthy or you have already re-habbed an injury and want to help prevent a recurrence, this is the info you need. More good stuff: Jim Smith's report on Cressey's (and Gentilcore...he's great too) Sturdy Shoulder Seminar Sturdy Shoulders Recap Jimmy Smith also has a lot of rehab vids on youtube. I wouldn't suggest you just follow the routines blindly without knowing as much as possible about your problem and what you may or may not need but it is a great resourse for viewing the exercises: DieselTube Last edited by Eric3237; 01-13-2008 at 09:50 AM. |
