    10 years ago, as I ran fastly, I lose control and fell with my knee against the ground. Imagine all my force goes to my left knee against the ground. I feel like there's crack or what. Until now, whenever, I am walking whether it is fast or slowly, I suddenly fell because my left kneecap(could be) is like moving to the left. That occasionally happen. When it happen, the aftershock is it swell.

    Thursday last week I was biking as part of my daily exercise routine and had to drive into some lawn are to avoid some people on the pathway. It was dark and I hit a hole and tried to get back into the cement pathway but fell down on my knee. It wasn’t too painful but I got some serious bruises. Sunday I was out having coffee in a Starbucks and when standing up after sitting for an hour my knee got the worst pain ever. Now I can’t walk. I can stretch my leg but bending it is very painful. I’m considering calling an ambulance but some friend told me this is sort of part of a healing process.

      @@urbster1 Since you asked, I realize our medical system is a bit of disaster in terms of best treatment of injuries where your body is involved in the healing. I get my blood pressure, temperature (in ear) and blood oxygen measured every day. Also they take blood samples to check if the infection has spread. Now I realize a vital piece of healthy healing: what you eat! I usually take olive oil, potassium, vitamin C, zinc, Omega 3 and other supplements every day but when I went to the hospital I got none of those things. As a result my blood sugar was up and who knows what else. I realize those supplements are actually really good for helping the healing, but it’s like the medical system is totally oblivious to it because those things are not pharmaceuticals.

    I'm having serious issues with my left knee. A month ago, I tripped and fell on concrete. My knees were bruised, but seemed to heal no problem. Until a week ago, I straightened out my left knee while lying in bed, and I heard a pop. Now I have a lot of pain and swelling that worsens as I try to walk. So I'm not sure what exactly happened!

    so, it actually happened today so what basically happened was I saw like a dance trend on internet and I wanted to try it out and since it was a hard dance the video told me to warm up first before starting to learn it, but I didn't really think it was really important so I ignored that and went straight to the tutorial and the dance had a part where you kind of like bend your knees so when I bended the first knee it was fine until when I bent the second which was the left one it like went all the way down and it kind of felt like I took a 360 turn and then I fell and it started to hurt really bad and now every time I try to walk it kina like buckles or like I can't control it so it kind of bends uncontrollably and it really hurts so much so kids every time when you want to learn a dance or dance please warmup before doing it or else it can lead to injuries like mine.

    I got bone edema for a year now(kitesurfing injury)and it fcks my life since then. I ve tried hyperbaric oxygen, magnetic pump , tecar and physiotherapy but nothing seems to really work that well. I can’t just sit for 6 months and do nothing as many orthopaedics said.
    By the way, bone edema is tricky. Many doctors couldn’t found the problem even with MRI.

    Hello Dr. Grier, I slid, tripped, and fell face down on a concrete sidewalk hitting both of my knees and elbows. Most problem is my right knee got injured the most and bled. I have a bump protruding out of my front knee and swelling on the inner side so when I'm walking the bump hits the left leg. I'm confused if it's meniscus or acl tear. Any suggestions as I already know you can't offer me any medical advice. Thank you Renee` from Florida

    I was going up stairs at a library. And the stairs are metal and some polished rock, so not soft at all. My boot snagged on the edge of a stair and I went crashing down. I smacked my knee on the stair really bad, and now when i move my leg/knee i hear like a rubber scraping on rubber sound? I dont know if it is my head or if that makes sense but that is the best i can desecribe the sound.

It gets sore and painful to walk on if i am doing a lot or running/walking/ or knee bending workouts. If i rest it starts to feel better, and i am without pain (just the clicking sound) but it impedes my ability to workout and run consistently. What is the problem?

    My friend, a month ago I had a contusion to my left knee. I suspect it was from junping or landing on that knee. But i do lots of kneeling at work and deep squatting and walking whilst carrying heavy things up stairs and on uneven ground. Today, I noticed pain in my left knee joint when extending my knee lying down and also again when getting up. Sometimes theres no pain, which I suspect is because I'm moving and getting the blood flow to the knee.
    Currently taking glucosamine which helps..
    Definitely time to get it examind by a doctor. Do you have any recommendations for reducing or healing these problems faster?.
