I have been diagnosed with chondromalacia in my right knee. Is it a bad idea to do pilates type rope pull down exercises for strengthning my glutes? They are not leg lifts they are leg pull downs.
Thank you for your question! I'm sorry to hear about your chondromalacia diagnosis, but it's great that you're thinking about strengthening your glutes-it can actually help support your knees in the long run. As for doing Pilates-type leg pull-down exercises, it's not necessarily a bad idea, but there are a few things to keep in mind: Form and Technique: Proper form is critical to avoid putting unnecessary stress on your knee. Be sure that your knee remains stable and isn't taking on too much strain during the movement. Focus on slow, controlled movements, and engage your core to take pressure off your knee. Pain as a Guide: If the exercise causes knee pain, it's a sign that you should stop or modify it. It might help to reduce the resistance or change your range of motion to find a version of the exercise that doesn’t aggravate your knee. Glute Strengthening: Strengthening your glutes can be very beneficial for stabilizing your lower body and reducing knee strain. Just make sure that any exercises you choose don’t cause discomfort in your knee. Pilates can be great for core and lower body strength, but it's always best to ease into any new movements and check in with how your body feels. Hope that helps!
Dr. Jon, i was diagnosed with mild, grade 1 chondromalacia involving the patella and medial joint compartment. This happened after i twisted my leg. Does it mean my patella is out of place and i have to do exercises to move patella back? Many people are talking about misalignment of patella. Would it be my case? Also, my therapist said i dont touch my quads but work on my gluts? I am really confused. Thank you!
Hello Sir, I am from Varanasi, India. I am quite impressed to see your video and suggestions. Sir, can you please do me a favor, I will be highly obliged to you. Sir, I slipped on water on 9th August'2024 and today is 7th September'2024. It's almost a month, I am totally on bed rest. Sir, initially I got an X-ray done which was normal, but still the pain persisted and then I was advised for MRI. Sir, the remarks of yhe MRI reports are asfollows:- 1. High grade partial thickness of medial patellofemoral ligament. Grade 1 MCL sprain with periligamentous soft tissue edema. 2. Moderate chondromalacia patellae. 3. Mucoid degeneration of ACL with subtle interstitial tear. 4. Mild knee joint effusion. Sir, I would be highly obliged if you kindly advise me the best treatment so that I can get back to my normal life as I am a housewife and have small kids. Even my husband is a kidney patient and hence my whole life is disturbed now. Sir, please do me the obligation. 🙏🙏
Hello, and thank you for reaching out. I’m truly sorry to hear about your injury and the challenges you’re facing right now. I understand how difficult it can be, especially with your responsibilities as a housewife and caregiver. From the MRI results you’ve shared, it sounds like you have a few different issues contributing to your knee pain, including: -A high-grade partial tear of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL), which helps stabilize your kneecap. -A Grade 1 sprain of the medial collateral ligament (MCL), which might be causing some discomfort and swelling. -Moderate chondromalacia patellae, meaning the cartilage under your kneecap is wearing down. -A mild effusion, or fluid build-up in your knee. Based on these findings, here are a few general recommendations that might help, but I strongly recommend consulting with an orthopedic specialist to create a personalized treatment plan: Physical Therapy: Once the acute phase of injury (about 4-6 weeks) passes and your doctor gives the go-ahead, physical therapy will be key. Strengthening the muscles around your knee, especially the quadriceps, can help stabilize the kneecap and prevent further issues. Bracing: Your doctor may recommend a knee brace to help stabilize your kneecap and support your ligaments as they heal. Surgical Consideration: In some cases, surgery might be necessary for ligament tears, especially if your knee remains unstable or if physical therapy doesn’t bring the desired results. However, that decision would be based on your doctor’s evaluation and the severity of your symptoms. It sounds like you’re going through a lot right now, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to a healthcare professional for ongoing support. It’s essential to have someone guide you through this healing process. I hope you recover quickly and get back to your normal life soon. Wishing you strength and good health for both you and your family. Take care!
hy doctor my name is saad and i have cho dromalaica patella about 8 moths ago please pray for me i am doing exercises an d nsaid drugs and vitamins to strength my knee. Can i recover 100 percent from this chondromalacia patella pain 😢
Is it common to have this in both knees? An orthopedic doctor told me I have chondromalacia patella and gave me PRP injections but they provided no relief.
It can be more common than you think. Its more common in individuals with a family history, knee's that are hyperflexible, knee's the bow in or out, and if you've had previous trauma.
