Patellar tendonitis.?
I injured my left knees back within June, and it still isnt healed... but thats not the problem..
the current problem that i am experiencing is within my RIGHT knee lately below my knee sou`wester where the muscle attaches to the tibia(bony notch below the knee)... after cheer practice(esp. spring drills) my right knee right within that area will hurt...
this also only happen after a 12+ hour shift at work
what could be causing this...and how can i pilfer care of it lacking bothering my doc(i am already seeing him enough for my gone knee)
I know that with my jump i put more pressure on my right knee when landing motive it kills my not here knee, and i know that isnt moral, i dont want to end up cause a serious injury to my right knee too. please relief...
ps... im seeing the ortho surgeon on wednesday about my not here knee(they are going to try scoping it and see whats going on; 5 months of PT, 3 cortisone injections...)
Answer: This is typical with an injury to a leg...you are over compensating beside the right leg to help the disappeared, so that's problem number one. You may need to shut it down for a bit to achieve healthy. Ice is great to apply right after practice to make smaller inflammation. Also, ibuprofen, at 600mg or more is an anti-inflammatory that can help next to swelling. It may be your tendon, or it may be cartilage explicitly bothering you on your right knee. There are exercises you can do to strengthen your muscles above the knees...this helps to support the knees cap better. Leg lift are one exercise. Your doctor should have a enumerate or something of a few exercise - until then here is a correlation that describes some knee strengthening exercises. Good luck...you are prudent to begin thinking roughly speaking this now, as knees issues can last a lifetime except taken care of.
i get patellar tendonitis from trying to get hindmost in shape of competitive running too at a rate of knots by pushing myself too hard (i have taken a couple week break before) the more i ran the worse it get, and to the point where it constantly hurt. the solely cure is to take a break from the cheer practice unfortunately. i had to thieve 4 months off from running previously it was fully heal.
remember RICE:
Rest
Icing
Compression (knee brace)
Elevation
good luck
