Has anyone had anything like this befor, I have been sffering with my knee locking, giving way, when i play rugby it was taking me ages to get up as my knees where weak
I have just got back from the doctors and they are referring me for a MRI scan, Xray and physio so at least they are doing something for me
Suppose it the joys of playing rugby from a young age and been a sprinter and doing loads of exsplosive weight training on my legs
let me know if you have ever had any problems and what to exspect

I've had on on my foot just under the 3rd metatarsal bone. Sometimes i would struggle to walk on it! I was told that if i want it removed i can have it removed, still there and not given me any grief yet.
-
yeah... had x-ray, mri & three knee ops after my knee kept giving way all the time...
op 1 - remove 5x2cm cartilage hanging off the back of my patella
op2 - harvest cells for op3 - these were then grown on a mesh in a lab
op3 - full open knee surgery to implant grown cells on back of patella on a mesh glued in place
followed by two months in a full leg brace non-weight bearing and 12 months physio
the stronger your leg muscles are the better your recovery will be

what I had was Osteochrondritis Dissecans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteochondritis_dissecans) - irony that it is also known as OCD! was always told that the knee problems I had were 'growing pains' by doctors etc :angry:
got video of the ops somewhere... If I find them I will upload them! :evil:

A lot of people are like that bud.....scared of needles. I have seen big bodybuilders drop once they saw the needle with the steroids in.....I used to inject myself, also site injections so biceps, chest, traps, calfs, quads etc have all had a green pin in them sometime or another :grin:
-
2 of my mates do HGH, they are crackers couldnt inject myself in a million years
-
Bunch of pussies. I've had over 10000 injections, 99.9% of them have been self-administered. Insulin dependant diabetic since 1984...
As for the knee thing, I damaged my anterior cruciate ligament playing indoor cricket (ironically 2 days before a university rugby trial!!) and had crutches for a while and loads of physio. Never been the same since. It's strong enough but I have never played contact sports since under the specialist's advice. So no rugby for me. Boo... :sad:

iF I had to do it for health reasons i would just have to do it, just makes me cringe, all came about when i had menigitas and had the lumber puncher (6 of them in 1 night) them needles are evil
-
TBH that's not a surprise - I agree with you 100% there - I've never had a lumbar puncture but 2 friends have and, no they ain't nice!

HGH is an easy one as you shoot it from an insulin syringe which is a teeeeny needle! I tried HGH, very expensive and did not see much gains, although I got a lot stronger. As for the knee though.......Guy has had a really tough time with his :sad:

what can i do apart from running/rowing and bike to keep the weight off

what can i do apart from running/rowing and bike to keep the weight off
swimming I have found is very good.. i couldn't swim very well at all until after my operation then I forced myself to try and swim 'properly'... really enjoy it now
you can do weights too... you'll probably need to during your rehab
if the operation is a success then you shouldn't need to alter your lifestyle
-
I was told no swimming after my op.. as this causes lateral movement of the knee (although this was only for the first few weeks)
Usually a good idea to work on stretching after every workout as this is very important.. you will be surprised how quickly muscle deteriorates when not being used.

you're not wrong there... after nearly two months of not being used my thigh muscle was next to non existant!! made my knee look all big and stoopid :grin:

After my op... whilst in the hospital bed and after being heavily sedated i looked down to try see what they had done to my knee... i actually couldnt tell if i was looking at my knee or my stomach it was swollen so much :grin:

videos of my first knee op
1. just having a general look around and tidy up - not really worth a watch unless you're bang into looking inside knees!

2. the offending bit of cartilage - on the underside of my patella
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsFhfZOCeNE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsFhfZOCeNE)
3. the offending bit of cartilage now gone and having a tidy up of the edges etc
