Yes, I had one to determine whether I had CJD (creutzfeldt jakob disease, the human form of mad cow disease). They scanned my brain
I have a similar problem with my left knee, its the soft area below my knee cap. Don't feel it walking but going up and down stairs takes a bit more effort. Its been like this for over 5 months now but I had accupunture (sp?) and some chinese medicine which seem to have helped but not completely cured it. Anyway, I saw my local doctor last week about it and he's referred me to a physiotherapist - who I'm going to see tomorrow.
I got my results today and the consultant said there was nothing wrong with the ligaments or tendons and they were as should be. There is no problem or thinning of the knee cap or cartiledge and apparently the knee cap is tracking properly. It's just mechanical pain associated with movement Why are my knees so sore with no obvious damage :crying: Cheung?
Gidday mate, Same thing here, but have a read on www.prolotherapy.com It's been a miracle cure for my knees. It's absolutely insane what they do, but the results are fantastic. Just reading won't do you any harm. Cheers
hey, same diagnose i get for my knee pains few years ago. I get pain yet the specialist can't find any fault
I have the same problem. My right knee sits firmer and sticks out higher than my left knee. http://www.kneeguru.co.uk/html/steps/step_01_basics/tests.html Another visit to UBC's Sport Medicine specialists confirm my condition as chondromalacia patella. :crying: :crying: :crying: I am taking 3 X 1300mg capsule of glucosamine, chdondroitin & MSM per day. Has anyone heard of CHONDROCYTE (CARTICEL) GRAFTING?
Cartilage Damage & Operation This is quite graphic. The following link relates to an operation to repair cartilage damage of the femur bone: http://www.arthroscopy.com/sp08029.htm CHONDROCYTE (CARTICEL) GRAFTING
Aargh, I thought Pete meant "graphical / diagrammatic", but he meant "explicit graphics". Definitely not for the faint hearted...like myself.
Here is the main page for this type of knee surgery. As one can see, the patella is detached during the surgery. Okie, I will throw up now! http://www.arthroscopy.com/sp08000.htm
glucosamine is quite expensive here..and heard that its not recommended for heart patients or those with diabetes also after spending and eating for months and finding out it didnt work for you for my dad who is at risk..i use glucosamine skin creme...topical application on the spot than having to take internally...might work faster directly like it did for him anyways...for the older folkes..drinking apple cider vinegar with honey and water as your sports drink might help you as it did me...with aging..inefficient uric acid removal and accumulation might be causing your joint pains...drink it at least once a month googlelit http://www.google.com.ph/search?hl=en&q=apple+cider+vinegar+knee+joint+pain&spell=1
As confimred by other knee related threads, light but frequent biking as well as body-weight squats help tremendously in my recovery. I am still far from 100% but the pain has dramatically gone down in level. The petalla and femur catches less frequently now. Icing after exercises also control swelling allowing the knee to have more mobility. Current daily joint supplement = 6 X 1300 mg capsules of glu & con & MSM + 6 X 350 mg capsules of celadrin.
I understand a BF member here has experience with glucosamine injection directly into the knee. Have our resident doctor(s) heard of this type of knee injection? hyaluronic acid and glycosaminoglycans
hey samething happening to me right now. just got a pair of SHB-89 MG and now my knee is screwed:crying:. really wanna try it out and see it's full potential and jump around in it...at least not for a while.
6x1300mg of G? Pete: No kidding? 6x1300mg? That's like 5 to 6 times the normal dosage. Are there any risk of over dosage? I had taken G for 2 months long time ago and see no effect. Then my pharmacist told me I should take G with MSN for at least 6 months to see improvement. The dosage is 1500mg per day. Lately, I found that doing lot's of warm up helps. Body weight squating is very important before game. With proper warm up and playing only 3 times a weeks help maintain my knees and elbows.
No effects so far. Yeah, it takes at least 6 months for full effect. I have to bike for 30 minutes as warm up before I play. I also do drop weight squats. Just make sure you keep the middle of your knee aligned with your second toe. All in all, I require at least an hour to warm up for baddie .
it's weird cause when ever i play, it doesn't hurt at all. but after i stop, it start to hurt really bad. after i've been stitting for a while and then stand up, i can't make my right leg go straight. the part under my knee cap really hurts and whenever i press on the right side of it, it really stings. right now i'm taking glucosamine , devil's claw and calcium. hope all this would heal my knee before my school badminton team start
Please see a specialist too. You have to do lots of drop squats with weights to strengthen your quads.
