    "Some of our astute followers have noticed me slurring my words. I am not drunk but working with Brad it would be justifiable. I had 6 infected cysts removed from my mouth (noncancerous) and I have residual scar tissue and numbness. I will try to do better. Thanks Bob."

      I’m in the navy and one morning i bumped my kneecap at the edge of the hatch felt really really hurt but shrugged it off since i’m in deployment not much they can do the next morning its not swole or anything but it hurts, the next day its gone so i think its not that serious but now everytime i do squats the pain is unbearable.

    Love your videos. I recently started doing lunges and squats with 10lb weights to get back to a place of building my legs up after being too sedentary during the Pandemic. While doing lunges, I heard a cracking, crunching sound on the upper right, or along the right side of my knee. I thought, well, this is only proof that I should’ve been exercising g more over the past year. Several days later I had soreness when I pressed down on the upper right part of my knee. It felt like a ligament. The area did swell up. When I mentioned it to my primary care physician, she said it was just temporary inflammation and it would go away. Last week, after 2 weeks, the swelling still had not gone down so when I thought of you guys, I went to a physical therapist. He had me do some exercises and he also had me lay down. Then, he pressed, with a hammer tool, on my upper right side, saying that the pain originated in this area. Well, the swelling continues, and the soreness is still there. However, I still walk 4-8 miles per day and even slow jog one of those miles. I find that when I jog, I don’t feel it as bad (at about a 2) but afterwards, the swelling again increases and the soreness is at about a 7. What do you think I should do? I forgot to mention that I am 64 years old and don’t need anything like this getting in the way of my mobility!

    I'm almost 40yo (Next Month) & a Woman. I've been dealing w/ R Knee Discomfort for awhile now, but lately when I Wake up, which I feel it's from my R Foot Naturally falling out to the Far Right Side, it's causing EXTREME PAIN on the Interior Side of the Knee that Radiates up into the Thigh, w/ Pain that's behind & to the Outer Edge of my Knee (by the end of the Bicep Femoris Muscle), that's Radiating down into my Calf. I'm looking at this Video right now trying to Identify what the Pain could possibly be Indicating. The Pain is definitely worse in the Morning VS Other Times of Day, has gone from Achy to "I Can't Weight Bear, I Can't Walk", to more consistent Days of Knee Pain! I've been considered "Double Jointed" for as long as I can remember. But, I'm going to do my Best w/ this Test.
    So for the 1st 1 (Kneecap Test): It's actually Tighter pushing my Kneecap Inwards, but it doesn't really go anywhere when trying to move it Outwards. I'm a little worried bc I leaned forward & lent my Forearms on my Thighs & actually felt Lightheaded from the Pain Radiating from my R Knee (I lent about 4" above the Kneecap)! Which just happened to be the 2nd Test w/ applied Pressure to the Thigh. However, my R Knee Hurts REALLY BAD when Pressure comes up from Underneath/Behind it, too!! Most of my Dad's Siblings have had some kind of Knee Surgery, mostly Replacements & my Mom had an UnDXed Meniscus Tear, that was finally found & Surgically Repaired. So, unfortunately, I've been Mentally preparing for awhile now when the Inner Pain started intermittently, but now... Wow! This is like "Take your Breath Away" Pain!! 😭
    I know you can't DX this way, but Any Insight of what this could be & what I can possibly do (ie. Ice &/or Heat, Ibuprofen, etc) would be Appreciated. Thank you!
    *Edited to Add:
    It's now 1030a, 2hrs since I Woke up, & now I can't even Pick my R Foot up off the Ground to Walk w/out immediately having this Deep, Lightning Pain Above, Around & Inside my Knee. 😭

    I am 27. I have knee pain below my knee cap. When I take a step or a sumo squat it's been painful today. I spoke to my Uncle who is a chiropractor. When he had a look at my back one of the first things he asked me was if I ever get knee pain in my right knee. I think their might be some things causing this pain. 1, my left leg is longer by half an inch or more. 2, I have done heavy manual labour job. 3, I have been known to run (back foot funning). 4, I broke my right ankle.
    Please help. I have done so much to stop back pain and now my knee is killing me. I have read going bear foot helps.

    I’ve had knee pain for years! It feels like it’s inside my kneecap or under it. Keeping my leg in one position is so painful and if I’m in a cramped space it’s unbearable (ex: backseat of a car where I can’t stretch my legs out). Sometime so wake up and my kneecap feels so weak like it’s barely keeping my leg together. Walking down the stairs hurts so much on those days.

    I had a total knee replacement in 2013 and have pain in my knee that I didn’t used to have. When my husband runs into my surgeon (at work in our local hospital) he always says I should have no pain. Watching this video I moved my knee cap around and it definitely hurts. I have pain both going down and coming up from squats, and it seems like there is something popping out on the outside of the knee cap. I also feel a click when I move the knee cap from side to side, and the pain reminds me of the bone spurs I have in my elbows. That feels like I’m putting my elbow down on a needle, moving my knee cap kind of feels like that, a needle jab. How is this happening with a replacement? Can you get bone spurs with a replacement? I’m going to have to make sure I catch the follow up video to this one!

    🙏 Can't find results or documentation on this. A single or sometimes a few toes started turning red/purple when standing. Goes away immediately after doing calf lifts & delays turning colors again. Is it caused by weak/tight muscle or pinched nerve? Sitting also causes the problem but laying doesn't.

    I used to smoke “green” a lot. Then without warning one day while “partaking” like i had hundreds of times before, both my knees were tensing up and could not support any weight without feeling like my knees would shoot to my toes. And after that every time i “partook” just a little too much theyd start to do that. So i stopped. For about 3 yrs now. But now its randomly doing it even though im sober. Sometimes it sneaks up on me and i feel fine and no tension. and im lying down with my legs straight. And i go to stand only to realize i cannot support any weight. And other times i feel them tense up. Its almost always just my right leg but sometimes my left leg will do it too.

    Hello guys. I've been limping and walking oddly for over a year while awaiting hip replacement. I've developed severe anterior knee cap pain when walking down or up stairs or upon standing from a sitting position. Is this knee pain likely due to my changed gait? If so, will post surgical physiotherapy likely resolve the knee pain? I've never had knee pain or injury prior to my hip issue.
