Help me find a good PT/physio/chiro/anything

(1/3) > >>

Dreyth:
My knees have been suffering for years now. It's not the patellar tendonitis that I use to have which disappeared with VMO work and foam rolling IT band/hips.

It's a different pain. Glut med activation seems to give a bit of relief, as does stretching the TFL. But the relief doesn't stick around. It's not permanent. Really tired of this and I miss being able to play basketball multiple times per week. I can only play less than once per month now

I'm located in Philadelphia at the moment. Seems to be hard to find someone who isn't going to tell me something stupid like "ice your knees."

seifullaah73:
Where's the pain located and what triggers the pain in terms of leg movement i.e. flexing, extending, rotating legs internally/externally, standing on the leg of the problem, or is it a pain under stress like jumping, running, stairs, sitting, etc.

I don't if relevant but I remember trying natural glute ham raise and flexing and extending causes patellar to move so doing the natural GHR caused patellar to move and then weight over the exposed knee join leading to bursitis and I couldn't sit or stand without pain, so I had to just rehab it, re-strengthening the muscles to sit, stand, then box squat and forward step downs off a box, etc.

CoolColJ:
have you had any scans etc?

It sounds more serious than tendon or tracking issues. Could be internal like meniscus or the patella cartilage?

edit - maybe hit up the Squat University guy

Dreyth:
Knees hurt only under stress and not by much. But if i play bball, the next day they are swollen and hurt more. Its not debilitating or anything. But i cant run full speed or consistently play bball anymore

I had xrays done, i think i may need an MRI. The physical therapist i went to years ago said it’s either an MCL issue or a meniscus issue. I’d like to get a second opinion

I think i need an MRI but boy they are expensive

CoolColJ:
Ok swelling means it's not a tendon issues, so it's likely cartilage
Might need key hole surgery to clean it up

From memory you hurt it on a single jump after a long lay off, which sounds like an internal injury.
tendon ones happen gradually over a long period of time from incomplete recovery
