oh god, that sucks!

 

go to an orthopedic, i had that problem. mine popped out like 9 times? and 5 or 6 of those times i had to literally pop it back in myself.

 

turns out i have the same problem as my mom. the ligament on the outside of my knee is alot stronger then the muscles and ligaments on the inside of my knee. also, my kneecap doesnt sit in the groove its supposed to be in. so b/c of that, the ligament pulls it out.

 

 

i went and had a surgery last july for it, they cut the ligament to weaken it up,

and i've been good since. :]

 

[[it wont last forever though, b/c then of course the ligament gets back to being really strong. my mom had 2 of these surgeries on each knee in 18 years. and its obvious she needs them again]]

ah! that's exactly how it is with me. except mine pops out ALL THE TIME.

ugh. i hate it. i'm doing therapy for it now, but i only have a week left,

and it's still popping out, so my therapist is trying to talk to my doctor

to see what he thinks we need to do next, and whether or not i need surgery.

*scared* :shifty:

i was in PT for about 6 months.

didnt do me a bit of good.

they did love the thousands of dollars they ended up getting from us though.

 

they said nothing changed after going there,

not how far i could extend my knee, not how strong it was, not how often it popped out, nothing.

 

 

if you do have the same problem as me, and if you do have surgery, its not bad actually.

its all done orthoscopically [sp??] so you'll only have 2 little scars about 1cm long. i was only on crutches for about 2 weeks. then walking with a limp for another week and a half-2 weeks?

 

....then got out of gym for a year :rotfl:
