However, my PT told me that really, it's the rest of the muscles around the knee/hips that usually cause the problems, not the knees themselves. The knees just end up being the site where the pain shows up. <br /><br />If you want the name of an amazing PT, let me know.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15918325255475723268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227255018368201079.post-82001581013613203972009-06-29T08:50:39.348-07:002009-06-29T08:50:39.348-07:00I completely agree about Farrah getting the shaft....I completely agree about Farrah getting the shaft.

I guess that's part of the reason she's gotten relatively less attention- it was expected and had no mystery about it.<br /><br />Sorry about your knee troubles. See David's post on our site about his knee troubles. He's making a slow recovery using a knee brace to help stabilize the joint along with ibuprofen and glucosamine/chondroitin and they seem to help a lot. He also finds that the pain is relieved by landing on the ball of the foot rather than the heel. His explanation is that landing on the heel results in more severe pinching of the medial miniscus cartilage due to slight knee hyperextension in turn due to weakness in an injured popliteus muscle a few weeks ago. There's also a link to a knee diagnostic article that may be helpful to you. Don't know exactly what you injured, but the pain sounds like the medial meniscus rather than a ligament, though anything that could cause knee hyperextension could be suspect.<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />CynthiaDrs.

It seems that you're already doing the right thing by resting, icing, and elevating. NSAIDS like advil and naproxen will also help relieve the pain and inflammation. Hope it gets feeling better soon.montisse98https://www.blogger.com/profile/09870551434165330025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227255018368201079.post-75566701067481384462009-06-26T12:16:26.500-07:002009-06-26T12:16:26.500-07:00I had one of her posters one my wall in college!
