surfinjim Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I'm stuck on nights for a few days so I'm in bed when I should be trying to get to my quacks for some advice, but here are the symptoms so all theories/advice appreciated. Right knee cap has 1 really tender spot on it, which is on the inside of the knee cap. If I catch it, I get a stabbing pain right across the knee. The knee cap itself is giving a sensation of "floating", and I can't put any pressue directly on to the knee. Ok walking and driving so far...... Any really appreciated as I can't get into the quacks until early next week. Cheers Jim:thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennie80 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I'm having exactly the same problem! And I'm also on nights, maybe it's something to do with that. I've tried some ibuleve gel but to no avail! Help me too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfinjim Posted December 28, 2006 Author Share Posted December 28, 2006 Is yours the right or left leg? Hopefully its the left, as mine is the right and I'm looking for a partner for the Three legged Race World Championships! Have to hop for know!

Jennie80 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 It's mostly the left but having pain in the right sometimes too. The pain is mostly when I'm trying to sleep. God we're boring aren't we. Long cold nights to think of nothing other than knee pain. I can use a crutch for the three legged race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Rex Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Go to the gym and try doing some leg raises, with light weights and high reps. You will find the muscles will take over the work from the ligament and your knee will feel much stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Watch excercising with this - when my knee felt like this this time last year it was a 'silent tear' on the cartilage. It soon got very much more painful (sorry) but is now much better. I don't know whether it is a cartilage problem - it might be a torn ligament, but I'd get someone to look at it before self-treating with excercise. I was put on an excercise programme eventually, but only after they identified what it was, as the wrong excercises at teh start would have made it much worse. Good Luck.

GazB Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Might have just knocked it, and it's just a bit of deep bruising? I always get it happening to my knees and elbows because of the training I do. Get into a hot bath and get your knuckles into it.
