I’ve dislocated both of my knees. The last time was in September on my birthday at the party!(SUCKED!) Well I’ve been through physical therapy for months and my knee is still swollen and they both feel like they will dislocate again. My doctor knows. What can I do for the pain? I’ve taken meds and Iced it about 5 times a day. By the way I’m 13 so it’s not like my bones are really old or anything…

I’ve Dislocated My Knees 3 Times Last Time Was In Sept. On My Birthday But It’s Still Swollen…?
Jul 13
I am 22 years old and within the last 3 weeks I would say, I have been experiencing constant knee pain. It is worse when I bend it and sit for a while then straighten it out and walking up or down staris makes it worse too. Bad knees run in our family…dad has had 6 knew surgeries and 16 year old brother just had his first 8 months ago. I have done physical therapy for my knee before, when I played basketball, but then I quit basketball and haven’t done therapy in about 8 years. When should I see the doctor about it?
how do they do that? my boyfriend is in jail now and he was ordered by the courts on friday to serve two months in county jail followed by 6 months in drug rehab. mind you he is not a drug addict, he just smokes weed, but he used that tactic to get his actual jail time reduced. he tried to call me yesterday collect of course, and i wasnt home but on the answering machine it says “you have a collect call from” and he said “i may be f*cked for another year”. I know he had to have a physical, is it possible that they gave him a drug test? I don’t believe he did anything since being there and he’s been there for two weeks. Prior to that he smoked alot of it though. how long does pot stay in your system? Hes a pretty big guy, bout 260 lbs. i believe it would also be considered a violation of his original probation.
I wonder should I just go for a bachelors degree in physical therapy
I’ve already torn my rotator cuff once in May, didn’t need surgery, just did some physical therapy to rehab it. Now I re-injured my shoulder around thanksgiving, and it has improved, but I can’t but my hand all the way behind my back, and have some tightness when trying to raise my arm above my head. Also the front part of my shoulder is very tender. I’ve been told its just tendinitis, but I’m not sure
just looking for advice
I take anti-inflammatories & muscle relaxers. I exercise. I wear a lumbar corset. An MRI test results today show 2 herniated discs. Now I have to go for physical therapy, too.
What other treatments are used for this?
I am more inconvenienced by the time it takes to go to the doctor’s office, getting auto estimates, trips to physical therapy, and looking around for medical supplies for my pain. I could have used this time to be with family, work on my business, or teach adjunct at a local college. How do I quantify this ($) when making a claim? I am on summer break (teacher) so it did not affect wages.
connects with the lap belt (in the right side of my abdomen) which goes through to the back. I have had MRI’s, x-rays, and CT scans, as well as went through two rounds of physical therapy. Nothing shows up on tests. The physical therapist says this area may have become my “weak spot” where all stress now goes. When I lay on my left side at night, sit up straight for too long, or bend forward at the waist for too long, the pain in my right side gets worse (radiating through to the back). If I have the pain while sitting in a chair, putting my right foot up on the base of the chair eases the pain a little bit. I take muscle relaxers daily and wear pain patches when needed, but would really like to know if anyone else has experienced a similar pain after an accident, and if they ever found permanent relief from the pain.
I’m supposed to get an ACL reconstruction soon, using a cadaver’s old one.
When will I be able to walk, or when were you able to walk?
How’s the pain?
How much physical therapy?
Anything helps
Does anyone know a treatment or how long it will take for this to resolve? Do I need physical therapy? I’m experiencing pain when I stand up. Sitting can be uncomfortable too. It started with a lower back issue, which then seemed to turn into sciatica and now whenever I get up from a chair my Gluteus Medius “hip” muscle (it seems that’s the one) spasms or cramps.
