If i walk with my knees straight…with no bending at all, i’ve noticed a big difference even from yesterday. The pain that i had is almost gone.
But walking with knees straight is like limping and not normal.
When i attemp to walk normally, i feel weird sensation in the muslce/ligament area above the knee cap, kind of like the Quad muslce. It’s not just weird, it kind of feels like really weird and so i dont feel like i should walk.
Should i keep walking with knees straight so that i dnot cause more damage or should i try to walk normally even if it feels really weird as if my ligament get tied up?
Orthopedic said my knee is stable, he did tell me to go to physical therapy. So that’s what i will do but i was wondering why pain is diminishing but the weird sensation is still there

I fractured my ankle on October 3. I was in a cast for 2 months. I got the cast off December 2. Started physical therapy 4 days later. I have been doing physical therapy. I do the simple exercises every day and twice a week I do the full exercises. However, I get this pain in the back of my foot (where my Achilles Tendon is) and a bit on the inner side of my foot. I have to move my foot/ankle in a circular motion until it cracks and then the pain goes away. About 2-3 minutes later, the pain is back and the cycle begins again. Why? I am doing good with physical therapy. I broke my left foot, lower fibula (the ankle). It happened while playing soccer. I am a 12-15 year old female. The doctor said that it is just kinks in the ligaments from being stiff and should go away within a week or two after getting the cast off. Why is this happening? Please!
Left arm and leg partially paralyzed. Have strong muscles.My main concern is the swelling does not go away. The rehab and the home physical therepist tell me to walk on it, but I think I should go to an orthopedist. What do you say?
i’m going for the first time tomorrow and i’m just wondering what exactly they do in physical therapy for a torn knee ligament.
I was hit from behind in a car accident while giving a stoping hand signal. At the time of impact because of how my shoulder was located between the door frame the ligaments in my shoulder were torn. After about a month of severe pain i went to the doctor and was given medication as the blood from the ligament being torn went into the arm and shoulder muscles and had become infected. The accident was in Feburary and the medication was taken throughout April. My doctor said that after the medication everything should be fine, however we are in May now and i still have much pain and limited use of my right hand. Is some form of physical therapy needed and if so what can i do to start this process.
Can physical therapy re tear or strain the ligament again? Because the pain is darn near as bad as it was pre operation.
I will award 10 points after 4 hours.
