Your a wealth of knowledge! , thanks for the vids, from a 36 yr old with a ruptured acl and a fan
+Trendscape Landscaping wow thanks
just what i was looking for, thank you
About 4 weeks ago I fell off my horse and on landing my knee buckled inward and I heard a pop/crack, I felt no pain until I tried to walk on it and when I went to walk my knee collapsed inwards again and it there was already swelling. I went to the doctors and 3 days later I had key hole surgery to remove the debris from the knee, the doctors say that I detached the ACL but there was still some holding onto the bone. I was told there is a 50/50 chance of my leg healing itself without the reconstruction surgery and that I could have a fully functioning leg and that it would just be weak/unstable, they said if I build up the strength in the other muscles around the knee, that may compensate for the weak ACL, they also said that if it gives me problems later on I may need the surgery. I work with horses as a profession and I am aspiring to become a young apprentice jockey so my legs are important to me. I would really appreciate some advice on the surgery, if I am given the chance to say no to the surgery as the doctors say I don't need it but can have it anyway, should I just say no? I understand that the surgery may be the best option, but the healing process is long, I've been told it can take from 6 months to a year and that length of time off isn't ideal and I wouldn't be using my leg for running and turning or pivoting motions. I would very much appreciate advice and feedback on what the best option would be.
Thank you.
I apologize for not getting back to you on this. Hope you are well. any update would be great. you can always email me @ drlyneil@revolutionphysicaltherapy.com
it moves to the outside and sometimes all over the knee to the point where I can't walk on it for a day. I miss running and playing softball now. I had to quit because of the pains and afraid that my knee was going to give out bad. Help me please?
IF you had a direct hit to the knee cap you could have subluxed it. MRI kind of rules this out but it still maybee the probelm. A good knee specialist should be able to figure this out. If not revisit the lumbopelvicfemoral complex. I would revisit there anyways, probably start there. I hope this helps. Look forward to hearing any updates.
what if you had an operation and 3 months after you then put your foot down while having force pushing at it and felt more like a twisting sensation which then slightly swelled around your knee ? Because i was skating put my foot down while riding awkwardly and felt not a pop not a rip but a twist.
You talked about the symptoms if you have ACL tear but I wanted to know the signs or symptoms you will experience if you ACL is healing , should you talk MRI to see that
Okay I hit my knee right at the pressure point playing catcher for softball by hitting the corner of home plate because it wasn't level with the ground. Went to physical therapy. Then I slipped and fell and hit the same place. Got an MRI said everything was normal but I didn't feel normal. I get clicking, creaking, rubbing and pain in my knee. I went to physical therapy again but didn't help AGAIN! Is this an ACL or a Meniscus tear? I tend to get pain on the insides but it moves to the outside
I hyperextended my knee and heard a crack. My knee can't bend too far forward or back right now. Around a 30 degree angle is the best position for my knee right now. I don't have a ton of swelling, but it is definitely more than just puffy. Could I have torn my ACL when I hyperextended my knee?? Please help
While playing Soccer my whole body shifted 360 except my left leg my kleets were stuck in the muddy grass, immediately I heard several snaps its been a year now and everytime I put too much pressure on my left knee snaps like the soft part of a chicken wing.It's been impossible to get back to soccer I'm too chicken for the surgery
Hi i am 26 years old and this is my MRI Report
My right knee injured 5 weeks ago
and I Immediately Fixing that and Walking with a cane for 3 weeks.
and go to Physiotherapy for 2 weeks daily.
i Feel little pain when bending down from behind In hamstring and groin
and
When opening and closing voice heard
Now
please more Explain to me Is there a problem and Should I Be Concerned?
Can i Do sport After This with High intensity?
(wrestling ,running , volleyball…)
Please Help Me What should I do?
Right Knee Joint MRI:
Medial and lateral menisci have normal shape and signal intensities.
There is subtle increased T2W & TRIM SI of ACL suspicious for sprain.
PCL , MCL , LCL and patellar tendon appear normal.
Visualized bones and muscles have normal signal intensities.
There is extra-articular edema and moderate knee joint effusion
If you haven't already I would start looking in other parts of the chain, primarily the lumbopelvicfemoral complex.
The knee pain is usually caused by a rotational torque and originates from the most rotational joint not the least. Unfortunately the least rotational joint is typically most effected in terms of torques and pressure when movement is abnormal.
I would also have someone further examine for patellofemoral instability. This is often missed.
you are the only person i seen mentioning about the quadriceps muscle, i think its my only sign. mri scan shows fully torn acl but personally knee feels stable with limitation of fully straightening. anyways going for op soon
+Markus Chan whats going on now? update?
+Performance Physical Therapist hi there, I did the op despite feeling stable on my part. and it is confirmed acl fully torn. now is 2-3 months post op, been only to physio for the first month. Hamstring feels tight and uncomfortable to straighten my leg. have been visiting traditional chinese sinseh to losen those muscles and it works for 1-2 weeks and after my leg will feel tight again.
Sorry I really need to get back to people on youtube better. I am sorry. Thanks for responding. I hope all is well! Any update would be great!
Markus Chan your present condition now plz...
one thing i hurt mine in soccer i have a i got diagnosed with ACL stretch, but lately
it has hurt so bad and it swelled and i played today and it hurt so bad it swelled alot a couple days ago and it popped 2 years ago! and it still hurts can it be a ACL tear?
I tore my acl than i got surgery , i wasn't supposed to be running but i was like a dummy, and it popped again , i got an MRI and they checked and said it was good , what do you think? And is it normal not to trust your knee ?
I twisted my knee playing football, there's never any kind of swelling but sometimes (when force applied) a popping sound is produced...... need sugestions?
I heard a crack instead of pop, what does that mean?
wow, great information, while playing basketball after jumping for a rebound I came down on someone's foot and my left knee buckled inward. I heard a popping sound simultaneously after. it was painful. I tried to walk it off but I couldn't. shortly then after it started to swell quickly and I couldn't put any weight on it. I couldn't walk for months. I never got it diagnosed but i had my suspicions that I damaged my ACL its been almost 2 years since it happened and whenever i would use stairs or walk sometimes it would feel wobbly. I would really appreciate your take on what you think it is.
If it has been two years, you tore your acl without a doubt.
That's what I feared thank you for the feed back, it makes a lot of sense. There were on a couple of occasions where that happens that same knee feels wobbly like it's going to give out, and I've fallen on my butt wondering why
Dave Garcia Yes, definitely. Any injury that lasts more than a year is without a doubt a completely torn ligament, or a dislocated/broken tissue, bone, or cartilage. If it hasn't healed by now, you probably need surgery. It is nothing serious and you can take your time, but if you wish to keep doing sports, or running, or having a normal life, then you will need surgery. If you just want to walk normally for the rest of your life, then you don't need surgery, lol. Good luck, I also hurt my knee about a month ago.
I've tried to look up the symptoms on my own but the symptoms between a complete tear, and having just a sprain are similar in a lot of ways, and I was hoping it wasn't a tear, but after I keep experiencing that wobbling feeling in that knee. And remember how long it took me to finally walk under my own power (6 months) I kind of knew already.
Dave Garcia Hi Dave I played the guessing game for a while too but you really need an MRI to get to the cause, best wishes
2 mnths ago,i was playing soccer...i stretched my leg out for the ball n i landed on my right knee with all my weight n my knee sucked inwards n i felt sum snap(like nerves breaking in half)afterwards,my knee swolled up n i couldnt sleep cuz my knee hurt when i raised it or made force...then after like 4 days,i was able to walk normal...then i was playing basketball n i jumped for a rebound,then i came down on both feet but again i felt that pain n it hurt alot n again my knee swolled up...it has been 2 weeks since that day n as i try to bend my knee,i get this excrutiating pain....can sum1 tell me what y'all think it is???ill appreciate it
I am sorry I never responded to you. I hope you are well. I need to do a much better job with this. please feel free to email me at drlyneil@revolutionphysicaltherapy.com
Hey Sandy, I have been seeing these types of symptoms quite often lately. Clicking, creeping and rubbing are all mechanical terms. Means something is not moving correctly. It's difficult to diagnose a movement problem when we are trained to diagnose structural problems. These pain syndromes are real and they put immense pressure on our tissues and cause many different types of symtpoms with most of them resulting in pain.
Sir my acl ligament is shaking fill
i think i may have torn my acl and i workout alot and when i do stuff like jogging and running and i do a sharp turn i get pain in my knee but when i do something like deadlifts i get no pain at all and i can still deadlift the same amount and the pain while running has decreased over time (Its been a few weeks) should i get it checked out or just let it heal whatever happend.
If your ACL is torn and not repaired it may do more damage to your knee over the long term. Check it out with an orthopedic surgeon. They will do a drawer test and possibly an MRI to diagnose.

sorry i didnt update this post i forgot about it i found out it was my lcl i stretched it badly but seems to be good for the most part now. it took a month or 2 for it to heal i just stayed off it and skipped leg day now my deadlift went up 90lbs since.
I am sorry I never responded to you. Glad you are well. please feel free to email me at drlyneil@revolutionphysicaltherapy.com
i had my acl reconstructed twice....this is the third time i think i have torn it....how do i know if its torn without an mri....like i landed on one foot but there wasn't any pop sound other than the twisting...and can i have the surgery after a few years
try the lacmann test, the pivot shift test or the drawer test. just search it up on RUclips
+ankita rout hard one to test yourself. I would see a physician or a good PT
+ankita rout what happened?
Rose :'(
David sounds like you damaged something. All of those are flags for damage to the knee. Hope you are doing well
bingo that's me all day long, damn it! Okay, whoever has that lock of my hair and the voodoo doll needs to give it a rest, sheesh!
