Have you actually tried asking someone about it besides us on the forum like someone who does these things for a living and knows what they are talking about like a doctor? besides us randoms guessing.

Nah, I haven't but that's mostly because I really don't like doctors. I'm revealing one of my major flaws here but I don't care. I feel weak when I'm forced to go to a doc. Like I know that sounds totally ridiculous but that is just the way it is. I knew that there were a couple people with medical degrees here. I mean I have one too but I'm pretty sure the pain isn't psychosomatic lol.

Edit just saw your post above. And I thought I would make a point on that in your job do you do hard and heavy lifting because it could be that you have two much pressure on your knee caps because I remember my uncle telling me that if you have too much pressure in your knee caps in the wrong angle you can easily break it. He says it only takes about 8 kilo's of pressure or weight applied onto the knees in the right spot to break it. And trust me he knows what he is talking about.

This is possible, but I don't feel that pain while I work. But you are right I spend a good 2-3 hours a day lifting and moving things that are 150+ pounds.

Funniest part about that is I was so concerned about hurting my back. lol

Lol they always tell you never to lift with your back and always to have your back straight and have your knee's bent so your knees and legs and even the weight with the back adn you won't be in a wheel chair. But then again too much on the knees can break that too lol, maybe wear a knee brace or something soft around the knees to help it and make it softer see how it feels after a days work.

That is when you do get to work lol.

This problem is common nowadays, as far as my knowledge goes, there is one simple solution to this.

Just when the pain starts, hit your knee hard and press it. Then raise your leg and pretend kicking a football or something, kick in the air with pressure.

And I'm not joking here, it's really going to work. :thumbsup:

Judging by the research I've done myself on this it appears that it would more than likely be tendonitis.

Which is fuckesd because I had that in my toes once and it didn't hurt nearly as bad as this.

Either way I'll go with the tendonitis home treatment for now. See if it works.

Both my knees and legs are in pain all the time...however mine is because of a baseball injury in highschool. Basically all the tissue from my ankle to my knee in my right leg is torn, and some of the tissue in my left ankle is as well. Because the only way to ever let it heal 100% is surgery that would keep me off my feet for 6 plus months (which is not an option) or just stay off my feet for like 2 plus years (which ie not an option either obviously) Wouldn't be able to get up for anything.

My left knee hurts now too because of it constantly locking into place when most of my weight shifts to that leg when my right knee starts to spasim. It is recomended that if I choose not to get it healed properly that I should refrain from any athletic activities. I didn't listen and for the first couple years after I got hurt I paid for it which is why the tears have gotten worse. (it originally was a small tear in my right ankle) Now I'm more careful but the pain is getting worse, and it does get a little more difficult to be on my feet all day (and I'm not allowed to sit down on my job) Fortunaly my work benifits may cover a full leg brace. There expensive, the one I would need would be simalar to the one that Stone Cold wore. I may be able to get physio paid for as well, but I need to get new xrays done first.....seeing as I haven't had it rechecked in almost 6 years now.

If you noticed what I said in the first post of mine, I didnt want to diagnose your knee. But I told you that too much sexual intercourse may cause this pain.

You MUST take treatment. Anti inflammatories and physiotherapy (stretching excersice will do the trick for this one if you dont want physiotherapy).

Any further progression let me know.

I didnt actually realise you could pick up tendon tears in X-Rays. I'm just curious, and read that MRI's only benefit over an X-Ray for tears, in that they just give the doctor more information. Interesting.

Why wouldn't you take the time off man, to get it healed? Surely you'd be able to work around taking several months off your feet, to properly heal and hopefully live a pain-less (or less-painful) life...

I've got what's called Pigmented Villo Nodular Synovitis in my left knee, its a rare benign tumour/growth that's regrowing after my first operation. They did an atroscopy to remove it, but since then it's regrown more agressive than before, and it's spread throughout my entire joint; it;s literally everywhere in my joint. At this time, it's looking like open knee surgery from the front, another arthroscopic operation from the back and radiation therapy tossed on top of that to hopefully get rid of this, and depending on the severity of it, whether or not they take out the lining in my knee I could be off my feet for anywhere upto 4 months, so I was told. I'm taking this hands down, despite what I'm seeing as a possible difficult and painful recoup from the operations, being off my feet, possible permanent damage to my knee regardless and the chance of a cancerous tumour growing from the radiation therapy. I just feel that what I've got to go through, to consider having a semi-normal knee function in the future, is worth it.

Note my pain might be a little more extreme than yours, but don't quote me on it. I'm not working right now due to the fact that I cant be on my feet for a full day...

I get the exact same feeling. Like you're giving in. I had to go to the doctor this year cos I had an infection in my toe and couldn't sleep. First time I'd gone in three years.

Yeah.

Feels like it's out of your control, and you're admitting defeat. You're too weak to go on, so you have to get help. When I broke my finger last year, I held off going to the doctor for as long as possible (which only turned out to be a few days =/). Hurt like a bitch, but I just hate going. Mum thought I was crazy.

Yeah, when I dislocated my thumb, instead of going to the doctors, i spent a few minutes trying to put it back in.

When my dad dislocated his thumb, it was like at a ninety degree angle. Just lovely to look at. I wasn't there, but he took a picture on his phone and just had to show me. >_>

sorry I realize I wasn't very specific there, its not tendon tearing. Its muscle tearing. There is almost no muscle attached to the bone on my left ankle and much or it riped stretched and torn up the back of my leg into the back of my knee. Those can be detected with x-ray....I don't know about tendon damage. to the best of my knowlage I do not have any tendon tears.

As for taking time off, I would have to be completely 100% off my feet for it to heal because any movement would restretch and tear it again, surgery or not. Which is why I am constantly in pain. Its not a severe pain though and I've almost grown used to it that sometimes I don't even notice it. But I'd be confined to a wheelchair. Also right now it is managable....and does not appear to be getting any worse. However if I was to properly heal it and especially surgery route, once it healed I would have to definatly go through physio to basically learn how to walk on it again. I'm not prepared to do that.

Last check showed no further damage then the previous. So its not getting worse. I can live with this. If as I get older I have to resort to a cane, (which I was told I might) then so be it. I'm okay with that too.
