I have had several of these knee twisting sensations, which have caused me to fall to the ground in agony. I have had this for about 6 years, but haven't ever gone to a physio or anything.
I had a possible meniscus tear per the physical therapist, went to my Ortho, ordered an MRI, confirms no meniscus tear. I have a click on extension and leg is weak extending. Ortho dismissed me, but I still have pain...I'm now lost as to what to do
It’s maybe out of place try gonstead to check it then wait and see how it evolves the first 3 weeks then go on from there, my mom had really bad knee pain couldn’t walk correctly they said she needed surgery but decided to check a gonstead chiro out as a second opinion he poped her knee back in place and got better that day pain went from a 9 to 4 it was still swollen so it keep hurting because it was swollen but after that she felt better the next day She did a check up the next week and felt even better also then after 3 weeks she felt even much better and also didn’t get surgery she walks with no pain but she does has lower back issue she needs to get worked on also

It's been bout 5-6 days ago now since I had injured my knee skateboarding. I was rolling up to an obstacle and a rock made my board stop short and sent me forward and when I planted my left foot on the ground to stop some of the momentum, my leg was stiff and bent inward from the knee down and popped back to it's original place. I woke up the next day having little range of motion on my knee and a slight buckling feeling when walking. I seen an orthopedic and the guy felt around and only did 2 or 3 of these tests (the one at 3:11 gave me the most trouble) and practically diagnosed me with a meniscus tear without seeing an MRI and said I have 3 options rest at home, physical therapy (which can be a physical terrorist) he said, and surgery.

@@OrthoEvalPal Thank you for replying back to my comment! I have a few questions that you might be able to answer. I used to be really active before taking a break from skateboarding and picking it back up again recently, what type of graft do you recommend I should get that would let me be able to skate again ? Should I take the prehab PT appointments ? and is there any important things you recommend me to ask my ortho and PT ? This is the first time I've ever experience a major injury skateboarding and I still can't wrap my head around the fact this happened, it's tough.
@@dirk1104 I have seen hundreds of ACL reconstruction’s and our best outcomes usually are those who have bone patella tendon bone grafts. There is no reason why you couldn’t get back to skateboarding after a year or so. We could athletes back to playing high-level sports after the surgery. I definitely recommend Prehab! Best of luck!
for Meniscus extrusion , which therapy is made in general ? are there cases for meniscus problems, where we do not need surgery or all cases need surgery? Like which problems requires definitely surgery and which not? Thanks
What if you fall on your knee and it doesn't pop, and instead feels off and burns when you sit down for more than five minutes? I'm at the start of my meniscus evaluation though I've had the injury for some time.
I don’t know what I have one day I noticed when walking my knees started hurting so I was conscious of it but didn’t think anything of it as it was a slight pain fast forward couple months my right knee I couldn’t put much weight on it at when I bent it in a squat position it would hurt went away and then my left had knee had the same pain on the inside. My knee would buckle and get a shock suddenly when I hyper extended when walking I done some exercises and it’s managed pain and mobility for a while but noticed after a couple months it just won’t go away.
I had that same problem as the patient in the video. My orthopaedic doctor sent me to a rehab facility for 4 weeks and I went three times a week. They had me work on strengthening my quads, my hamstrings, my gluten and my calves. All of these muscles support the knee. I was also given exercises to do at home daily and I have done them religiously. For exercise I gi to a local indoor pool and swim/do exercises. I am happy to report that I am free of pain. I can walk and dance again. I will keep doing my home exercises.
Hi OrthoEvaPal My guy has a very situation to the one discussed but his pain has extended to his upper hamstring, which makes things more excruciating since he sometimes cannot fully stretch out his leg or even walk as the muscles around the knee and hamstring area tend to stiffen up. He's been to hospital on several ocassions but there's no definite diagnosis to what he has. The 'clicks' in the knee, behind and below the patella as he describes are so obvious and usual but the doctors didn't pick it up. What can we do from here, are there any exercises you can recommend?
My son hurt his knee while playing soccer. He kicked a ball and he felt pain on his knee. He got an MRI and he got the following results: questionable vertical longitudinal tear of the anterior body and anterior horn medial meniscus. There was an also evidence of patellofemoral maltracking and some degree of trochlear dysplasia. He was able to do PT and return to play soccer 5 weeks after the first injury, but hurt his knee again on the first game back. He rested and return to play 3 weeks later, but hurt himself again. Currently, he has not played since the last injury, which happened one week ago. He doesn't have pain and is able to walk and move. My question is, based on the initial MRI, would the possible tear he has need surgery? Also, would it be a good idea to request another MRI? Right now, he started doing PT and working with a chiropractor.
As a Kinesiology student who aspires to be a PT, it sounds like surgery might be needed. Meniscus tears can progress if the injury is not taken care of, compromising the rest of the knee and surrounding muscles. Because there is a tear, the surround muscles begin to compensate for the tear which can cause further issues. That’s why the PT in the above videos says working the quads, hamstring, glutes and calfs must be strengthened, to lessen any further damage. I hope this helps and answers you question to a certain degree
A chiropractor?! Wowza. Common sense would tell me that your son should probably see an orthopedic specialist! Maybe several of them! Put down the ⚽️ for at least 4-6 months! I'm no doctor but I sure wish someone would have stopped me when I was young and kept reinjuring my back! It might have saved me from a major back surgery where I had blown out my L5-S1 and needed a disc replacement with titanium plate, fusion etc. Took YEARS of recovery (if u could call it that) that left me with chronic pain (surgery in 2008) and a slew of other issues all 3 mo's before my 40th bday. I know it's not the same but I cringe when I hear stories of young kids injuring and reinjuring their bodies! Nothing is worse than regret. I wish ur son a very happy ending to what can turn into a very serious life long story with no ending to the pain and suffering he will endure when he's older.
Can u help me! One year is gone my left knee injuried,this my mri report, 1.Acl injuri grade 3 2.Mild joint effusion 3.Bony contusion in posterolateral aspect of the lateral tibial condyle.

Hello, how are you, doctor? I have a second-degree meniscus rupture. He went to the doctor and gave me two options, either surgery or platelet-rich plasma. I chose plasma, and now after two months, I feel pain in the same area. Do you recommend an operation?
Question so when I game I sit crossegged ( criss cross apple sauce lol) and a couple days ago I gamed for along time then the next morning my knee kind of locked I stood up and heard a bunch of cracks. it's day 3 and I'm having some pops I can walk pretty fine on it and it doesint hurt unless it cracks alot in the morning an Amwell doctor told me that I can just rest it and it should be fine and it's nothing serious since I can walk is this true and should I be concerned yet ?
Hi can you help me Understand my MRI results please. I had an MCL torn meniscus in 2019. Now I have pain had an accident in 2022. When I kneel or squad me knee bothers n I feel like if have a cut or knife cut on my knee. I already had an injection synvisc-one that didn’t helped me. because doctor told me I have osteoarthritis. Then he changed said I have a torn meniscus then he gave me more therapy I’m still in pain with discomfort in the middle inner side of my knee now he saids it’s arthritis can you help understand better if I have a torn miniscus or not please. Even the pt tells me it’s meniscus so now I’m confused in pain. Thanks FINDINGS: The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are maintained. The components of the posterolateral corner and medial collateral ligament appear intact. Previously evident horizontal wear of the medial meniscus is less conspicuous and appears somewhat smaller on the present exam reflecting prior intervention. There is persistent near horizontal high signal present extending through the inferior aspest of the posterior horn body junction of the medial meniscus suggesting postsurgical change however the possibility of superimposed tear cannot be excluded, Correlation with MR arthrogram or CT arthrogram may be helpful and should be considered as clinically warranted. Lateral meniscus is intact. Bilateral meniscal tibial attachments are intact, Tricompartmental cartilage thinning in evident which appear similar to that seen on the prior exam. Joint effusion Is evident which appears decreased from prior exam. The patellar tendon and quadriceps mechanism are maintained. There is no abnormal signal evident to suggest fracture or osteonecrosis. IMPRESSION: 1. Findings most consistent with post surgical change involving the medial meniscus with a possible superimposed tear, discussion at suggestion as above. 2. Tricompartmental chondromalacia/cartilage thinning: unchanged. 3. Joint effusion: decreased frond prior exams.
Hello doctor i hurt my knee kicking soccer ball and it sounds like breaking brazil nut 😂 but i can run whit in a week it's 3 time in total the 1st one was 6 years ago second one was about 7 months ago and yesterday it sounds again and there is no lock in the knee pain is negligible and in first case i do squat upto 10 in playing soccer at the same week. Now what should i do
I am a little sad I have been experience these same issues except a little more severe than your patient. I was squatting in the grocery store trying to get something off a lower shelf and I heard a pop and felt a very sharp pain. I had to gather myself before I was able to get back up because it was excruciating. I went to the Drs who referred me to this Orthepedic Sepialist. I am not happy that he diagnosed me with Pes Anserine Bursitis. I had a lot of fluid build up in my leg, but I complained of the inner knee and back of knee pain. My Hamstrings and front muscles have been stiff as if they are sore from the clinching. Anyways I go for a MRI in about 2 weeks I have been dealing with this pain which I think is a torn meniscus for Several months.
Hello doctor, I hurt my knee and there was nothing like swelling or pain. But after sometime I started having pain whenever I fully sit in sqaut position and stand again. Please suggest something.
My knee feels weird like I can bend it do everything have full range of motion but I just can’t put pressure on it and can barley walk on it doctors said I have a pcl injury bhad it for about 5 months now
Honestly its been like 2 months or less, and its only like my patella area its still kinda swollen just a little underneath it...i cant bend my knee 90° and i still cant straighten it all the way
I tore my meniscus on my right knee when I was doing plyometrics back in 6th grade didn't get surgery I just rest it for a couple of weeks until the swelling stops. I'm 24 now and my knee keeps making a popping sound everytime I bend it and sometimes it locks in place. I lost 80 percent of my athleticism and stop doing sports all together and can't go pass 80% of my body weight doing squats. I'm planning to have a surgery soon but I just got a job and it's really hard to since it's a labor intensive.
i went to a knew dr today, he didnt even want to see the knee directly as i brought shorts to change into. he looked at it through blue jeans. so, thats odd. he gave 3 guesses as to what it may be but nothing more. he didnt do all this stuff, he bent and felt but not all that much. oh well. i will keep dealing with the pain and hope it goes away.
Hello Doc . Im here because im honestly scared to go to the hospital , on June 8th i was on the court. I was running and a guy hit my left knee inward. I heard a loud pop , my leg swell up very bad but the swelling has since went down. Im able to walk on it , its getting better. I want to know will it get back to normal in time 😭 please i need answers lol im sure ill have to go get it checked soon , but just some type of andwer would help
Bone bruise / bone edema in the medial femoralcondyle and proximal tibia. Grade II vertical tear of the posterior horn of lateral meniscus. Grade I horizontal tear of the posterio horn of medial meniscus. is this treatable without surgery

Hey Also sometimes I share this, the Bible says that GOD loves us so much that he sent his son JESUS CHRIST to this earth and HE lived a perfect sinless life.And JESUS went to a cross and gave HIS life for us.And rose again in 3 days and who ever will receive JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOR AND ASK HIM TO COME INTO THEIR HEART AND FORGIVE THEIR SINS,HE WILL TAKE YOU TO HEAVEN.
God has never had offspring, nor was he born. And there is none comparable to him. O mind kind worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, so that you may become mindful of God. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that on earth: and He is Most High, Most Great.
God is above these debased behaviour of humans and has no sons or daughters neither was HE born! He was and is for ever! Jesus (Eisaa) was a prophet born because of God’s miracle from a Virgin Mary to show the people HE is capable of everything! Read your Old Testaments not written after centuries! Bless you all .
I play football and last year (2022) I trained as usual, but after a training session it started to hurt behind my knee (I don't know if it was a bad move or a blow). Currently I can't pull my knee back much, because after a certain point I start to feel pain behind the knee, then when I stretch it it seems that it also hurts in front of the knee. I've already had an MRI, ultrasound, physical therapy and the pain continues. Think you know what it could be?
I fell of a horse and landed straight on my knee all my weight on my right knee. My calf was sore for a week and my thigh was also really sore. When I flex my calf I feel something funny on the left side of my right knee. Any feedback would really be helpful
She's going to have an MRI soon which makes all this exercise unnecessary. lol. Reminds me of a time I went to the ER with a broken toe. The ER physician said it didn't look broken. Then he grabbed my big toe and started to ask me a question. That's when I said "STOP!". Do you intend to X-Ray my toe? "Well, yeah", he replied. And I said "How about we dispense with the "does this hurt, does that hurt?" He came out with my X-rays, shaking his head. "Darned if it isn't broken,", he said. Friggin doctors.
There are many people who have meniscus tears and respond very well to therapy. The first line of treatment is now physical therapy. Unless the knee is locked up. Secondly, the stronger they are going into surgery the better the outcome afterwards
@@OrthoEvalPal Right. And if you need surgery, you are going to have it soon after the injury, in which case there is no time to strengthen the muscles around the joint by doing silly exercises that can aggravate the injury. The first line of treatment is physical therapy, because surgery has shown itself to be worthless in the majority of cases. Rest and prayer would be as effective, but orthos and physical therapists have rents to pay.

There is no reason why you couldn’t get back to skateboarding after a year or so. We could athletes back to playing high-level sports after the surgery. I definitely recommend Prehab! Best of luck!
I have knee pain in same area show in video since Nov 2022 still now walking standing is worse
Be sure to get it checked out by a medical provider.
for Meniscus extrusion , which therapy is made in general ? are there cases for meniscus problems, where we do not need surgery or all cases need surgery? Like which problems requires definitely surgery and which not? Thanks
What if you fall on your knee and it doesn't pop, and instead feels off and burns when you sit down for more than five minutes? I'm at the start of my meniscus evaluation though I've had the injury for some time.
I don’t know what I have one day I noticed when walking my knees started hurting so I was conscious of it but didn’t think anything of it as it was a slight pain fast forward couple months my right knee I couldn’t put much weight on it at when I bent it in a squat position it would hurt went away and then my left had knee had the same pain on the inside. My knee would buckle and get a shock suddenly when I hyper extended when walking I done some exercises and it’s managed pain and mobility for a while but noticed after a couple months it just won’t go away.
What treatment did you take? I have the same symptoms
So he just described my problem to the absolute Exact situation ! Now what ?
I had that same problem as the patient in the video. My orthopaedic doctor sent me to a rehab facility for 4 weeks and I went three times a week. They had me work on strengthening my quads, my hamstrings, my gluten and my calves. All of these muscles support the knee. I was also given exercises to do at home daily and I have done them religiously. For exercise I gi to a local indoor pool and swim/do exercises. I am happy to report that I am free of pain. I can walk and dance again. I will keep doing my home exercises.
Hi OrthoEvaPal
My guy has a very situation to the one discussed but his pain has extended to his upper hamstring, which makes things more excruciating since he sometimes cannot fully stretch out his leg or even walk as the muscles around the knee and hamstring area tend to stiffen up.
He's been to hospital on several ocassions but there's no definite diagnosis to what he has. The 'clicks' in the knee, behind and below the patella as he describes are so obvious and usual but the doctors didn't pick it up.
What can we do from here, are there any exercises you can recommend?
My son hurt his knee while playing soccer. He kicked a ball and he felt pain on his knee. He got an MRI and he got the following results: questionable vertical longitudinal tear of the anterior body and anterior horn medial meniscus. There was an also evidence of patellofemoral maltracking and some degree of trochlear dysplasia. He was able to do PT and return to play soccer 5 weeks after the first injury, but hurt his knee again on the first game back. He rested and return to play 3 weeks later, but hurt himself again. Currently, he has not played since the last injury, which happened one week ago. He doesn't have pain and is able to walk and move. My question is, based on the initial MRI, would the possible tear he has need surgery? Also, would it be a good idea to request another MRI? Right now, he started doing PT and working with a chiropractor.
No one replied to you but do you have any tips
As a Kinesiology student who aspires to be a PT, it sounds like surgery might be needed. Meniscus tears can progress if the injury is not taken care of, compromising the rest of the knee and surrounding muscles. Because there is a tear, the surround muscles begin to compensate for the tear which can cause further issues. That’s why the PT in the above videos says working the quads, hamstring, glutes and calfs must be strengthened, to lessen any further damage. I hope this helps and answers you question to a certain degree
A chiropractor?! Wowza. Common sense would tell me that your son should probably see an orthopedic specialist! Maybe several of them! Put down the ⚽️ for at least 4-6 months! I'm no doctor but I sure wish someone would have stopped me when I was young and kept reinjuring my back! It might have saved me from a major back surgery where I had blown out my L5-S1 and needed a disc replacement with titanium plate, fusion etc. Took YEARS of recovery (if u could call it that) that left me with chronic pain (surgery in 2008) and a slew of other issues all 3 mo's before my 40th bday. I know it's not the same but I cringe when I hear stories of young kids injuring and reinjuring their bodies! Nothing is worse than regret. I wish ur son a very happy ending to what can turn into a very serious life long story with no ending to the pain and suffering he will endure when he's older.
Can u help me! One year is gone my left knee injuried,this my mri report,

How are you now ?
Hello, how are you, doctor? I have a second-degree meniscus rupture. He went to the doctor and gave me two options, either surgery or platelet-rich plasma. I chose plasma, and now after two months, I feel pain in the same area. Do you recommend an operation?
How r u now? Even my doc advised prp if things don't improve
Same here. How r u now? What treatment did u undergo?
My angle ligament tear
Please help

I’m the same situation, bucket handle tear on medial meniscus, can i treat this without surgery?
Bucket handles are tough to treat without surgery. They tend to lock up in the joint, cause prolonged swelling and muscle shut-down.
What’s the main cause for bakers cyst? I’ve had one for about 5 years.
Arthritis and/or injury in the joint
if pain is mostly in anterior side of jointline, can we say tear is most likely on the anterior horn of menisucs or can it be in posterior as well
More likely anterior
@@OrthoEvalPal 4:10 is my pain location (anterior) , but MRI is showing grade2 tear in posterior horn of medial meniscus
@@jayantmishra6966 same grade 2 posterior horn, how are you feeling now? Have you taken any treatment?
Hi can you help me
Understand my MRI results please. I had an MCL torn meniscus in 2019. Now I have pain had an accident in 2022. When I kneel or squad me knee bothers n I feel like if have a cut or knife cut on my knee. I already had an injection synvisc-one that didn’t helped me.
because doctor told me I have osteoarthritis. Then he changed said I have a torn meniscus then he gave me more therapy I’m still in pain with discomfort in the middle inner side of my knee now he saids it’s arthritis can you help understand better if I have a torn miniscus or not please. Even the pt tells me it’s meniscus so now I’m confused in pain. Thanks
FINDINGS: The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are maintained. The components of the posterolateral corner and medial collateral ligament appear intact.
Previously evident horizontal wear of the medial meniscus is less conspicuous and appears somewhat smaller on the present exam reflecting prior intervention. There is persistent near horizontal high signal present extending through the inferior aspest of the posterior horn body junction of the medial meniscus suggesting postsurgical change however the possibility of superimposed tear cannot be excluded, Correlation with MR arthrogram or CT arthrogram may be helpful and should be considered as clinically warranted. Lateral meniscus is intact. Bilateral meniscal tibial attachments are intact,
Tricompartmental cartilage thinning in evident which appear similar to that seen on the prior exam.
Joint effusion Is evident which appears decreased from prior exam.
The patellar tendon and quadriceps mechanism are maintained. There is no abnormal signal evident to suggest fracture or osteonecrosis.
IMPRESSION:
1. Findings most consistent with post surgical change involving the medial meniscus with a possible superimposed tear, discussion at suggestion as above.
2. Tricompartmental chondromalacia/cartilage thinning: unchanged.
3. Joint effusion: decreased frond prior exams.
Hello doctor i hurt my knee kicking soccer ball and it sounds like breaking brazil nut 😂 but i can run whit in a week it's 3 time in total the 1st one was 6 years ago second one was about 7 months ago and yesterday it sounds again and there is no lock in the knee pain is negligible and in first case i do squat upto 10 in playing soccer at the same week. Now what should i do
I am a little sad I have been experience these same issues except a little more severe than your patient. I was squatting in the grocery store trying to get something off a lower shelf and I heard a pop and felt a very sharp pain. I had to gather myself before I was able to get back up because it was excruciating. I went to the Drs who referred me to this Orthepedic Sepialist. I am not happy that he diagnosed me with Pes Anserine Bursitis. I had a lot of fluid build up in my leg, but I complained of the inner knee and back of knee pain. My Hamstrings and front muscles have been stiff as if they are sore from the clinching. Anyways I go for a MRI in about 2 weeks I have been dealing with this pain which I think is a torn meniscus for Several months.
From your explanation, I think you may be right. (meniscus) I hope the MRI will help give you some direction!
Hello doctor, I hurt my knee and there was nothing like swelling or pain. But after sometime I started having pain whenever I fully sit in sqaut position and stand again. Please suggest something.
You need to get a diagnosis. See an orthopedic specialists
Ya doc, had an x-ray and the doctor found nothing unusual. If only I had access to doctors like you in my place 😢
@@sanskritirajput6788 Any updates ?
Do x rays pick up on the meniscus ?? It is a soft tissue which nay get picked up with a MRI.
X-rays will not. Yes on the MRI
@@OrthoEvalPal Thanks for the reply!! Great video!
Xray is to make sure the knee is structurally ok. Tendon tears dont show up.
My knee feels weird like I can bend it do everything have full range of motion but I just can’t put pressure on it and can barley walk on it doctors said I have a pcl injury bhad it for about 5 months now
Yes. PCL is a very different issue than what I show here. Best of luck!
Honestly its been like 2 months or less, and its only like my patella area its still kinda swollen just a little underneath it...i cant bend my knee 90° and i still cant straighten it all the way
Definitely should see an orthopedic specialist. Should be moving better by now.
I tore my meniscus on my right knee when I was doing plyometrics back in 6th grade didn't get surgery I just rest it for a couple of weeks until the swelling stops. I'm 24 now and my knee keeps making a popping sound everytime I bend it and sometimes it locks in place. I lost 80 percent of my athleticism and stop doing sports all together and can't go pass 80% of my body weight doing squats. I'm planning to have a surgery soon but I just got a job and it's really hard to since it's a labor intensive.
Trimming the meniscus AKA as a menisectomy leads to arthritis. Find a t really good surgeon who bias is to repair the meniscus if possible
How's the injury going?
Not sure if I tore my probiscus but I'm fairly sure I stretched it.
Hope it gets better soon
Can this happen simply from jogging? No weird twists or turns.

She pivoted in basketball terms means someone Crossed you over really bad 😂
I just stepped down a high step on the fan and now something doesnt feel right.. 💀
Врач со знанием дела! У меня колено не сгибается на ступенях так хочется ходить!
i went to a knew dr today, he didnt even want to see the knee directly as i brought shorts to change into. he looked at it through blue jeans. so, thats odd. he gave 3 guesses as to what it may be but nothing more. he didnt do all this stuff, he bent and felt but not all that much. oh well. i will keep dealing with the pain and hope it goes away.
Hello Doc .
Im here because im honestly scared to go to the hospital , on June 8th i was on the court. I was running and a guy hit my left knee inward. I heard a loud pop , my leg swell up very bad but the swelling has since went down. Im able to walk on it , its getting better. I want to know will it get back to normal in time 😭 please i need answers lol im sure ill have to go get it checked soon , but just some type of andwer would help
It’s good that it is getting better, but you should have it checked to see if you have torn one of the stabilizing ligaments.
Any update ?
Bone bruise / bone edema in the medial femoralcondyle and proximal tibia.
Grade II vertical tear of the posterior horn of lateral meniscus.
Grade I horizontal tear of the posterio horn of medial meniscus.
is this treatable without surgery
Sounds surgical to me. But I've seen people survive with worse. Have to change activity level though.
Yesterday I injured my Meniscus :)
High grade tear of anterior cruciate ligament. Grade III tear posterior horn of medial meniscus in my MRI report
Ouch. Sounds like surgery if it's unstable, swollen and painful
@@OrthoEvalPalwould you continue to work light duty at warehouse while having mild meniscus injury or would you rest out of work with Pt and then return when healthy? Or just listen to the Amazon affiliate doctors say it’s fine you can work but not hard 😮
So does this person require surgery?
Hey Also sometimes I share this, the Bible says that GOD loves us so much that he sent his son JESUS CHRIST to this earth and HE lived a perfect sinless life.And JESUS went to a cross and gave HIS life for us.And rose again in 3 days and who ever will receive JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOR AND ASK HIM TO COME INTO THEIR HEART AND FORGIVE THEIR SINS,HE WILL TAKE YOU TO HEAVEN.
Amen
Amen
God has never had offspring, nor was he born. And there is none comparable to him. O mind kind worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, so that you may become mindful of God.
To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that on earth: and He is Most High, Most Great.
God is above these debased behaviour of humans and has no sons or daughters neither was HE born! He was and is for ever! Jesus (Eisaa) was a prophet born because of God’s miracle from a Virgin Mary to show the people HE is capable of everything! Read your Old Testaments not written after centuries! Bless you all .

I play football and last year (2022) I trained as usual, but after a training session it started to hurt behind my knee (I don't know if it was a bad move or a blow).
Currently I can't pull my knee back much, because after a certain point I start to feel pain behind the knee, then when I stretch it it seems that it also hurts in front of the knee.
I've already had an MRI, ultrasound, physical therapy and the pain continues.
Think you know what it could be?
Same, I can’t bend it and sit on my knee the back hurts a lot
What's your condition now?
@@marufmeer8136 a little better but it still hurts when I sit like Vajrasana - The Diamond Posture
I fell of a horse and landed straight on my knee all my weight on my right knee. My calf was sore for a week and my thigh was also really sore. When I flex my calf I feel something funny on the left side of my right knee. Any feedback would really be helpful
Definitely something I would see a Provider for. Too hard to tell without evaluating you myself.
I can bend my knee no problem. I just can t straighten it. I hurts and I hear a pop
She's going to have an MRI soon which makes all this exercise unnecessary. lol. Reminds me of a time I went to the ER with a broken toe. The ER physician said it didn't look broken. Then he grabbed my big toe and started to ask me a question. That's when I said "STOP!". Do you intend to X-Ray my toe? "Well, yeah", he replied. And I said "How about we dispense with the "does this hurt, does that hurt?" He came out with my X-rays, shaking his head. "Darned if it isn't broken,", he said. Friggin doctors.
There are many people who have meniscus tears and respond very well to therapy. The first line of treatment is now physical therapy. Unless the knee is locked up. Secondly, the stronger they are going into surgery the better the outcome afterwards
@@OrthoEvalPal Right. And if you need surgery, you are going to have it soon after the injury, in which case there is no time to strengthen the muscles around the joint by doing silly exercises that can aggravate the injury. The first line of treatment is physical therapy, because surgery has shown itself to be worthless in the majority of cases. Rest and prayer would be as effective, but orthos and physical therapists have rents to pay.
If she wasnt in pain before...she is now after she was manipulated a million dofferent ways.
This video had me in pain!! Every move had me feeling it. 🤮

And DOES A MENISCUS TEAR NEED SURGERY???
Took way too long to get to the point
😂 hopefully I didn’t tear my meniscus. I’m horrible at gauging my pain and doing self diagnosing
You may want to see an orthopedic specialist.
Ok can this GIRL WALK NORMALLY???
Yes.
You are twisting her about like a contortionist.
That's how we evaluate a patient.
