Our 23-year-old son is still on our insurance policy (until he is 26) so we know a lot about his medical problems. He was a high school and college athlete who ended up with a bum knee. Last year he had an operation to reattach the ligament along the inside of the knee to the knee cap. It evidently didn't do the trick because he ended up with a very stiff knee. Now they are talking about doing a knee manipulation. Poor guy. Does this happen very often? 34 weeks 17 hours ago 121
I'm a relatively healthy young adult (21 years old). I've been active all my life. I didn't play sports in high school but I like to hike, skateboard, mountain bike, and paddle board. Lately I've been noticing that my left knee cap slides off to the side and then pops back. Hurts like heck. I never know when it's going to happen. I did fall while hiking last summer. Could this be the cause of the problem? 34 weeks 17 hours ago 131
How do I know when I should request an MRI for a knee problem? The surgeon thinks I have a meniscal tear that requires surgery. I'm not so sure. Would an MRI give any more information than we already have? 35 weeks 1 day ago 176
When I went to the orthopedic surgeon for a knee problem, she shifted my leg around until there was a click in the knee. It was quite painful at the time, then it felt better. Now that it doesn't hurt so much, do you think I still need surgery to repair a torn meniscus? Maybe it will heal on its own. 35 weeks 1 day ago 195
I posted this question on our local physical therapy list-serve but didn't get any replies. I'm hoping you might have an answer for me. Is the WOMAC the only (or the best) way to measure outcomes before and after physical therapy for knee osteoarthritis? Are there other tools that have been tested that we can use? We are trying to find ways to measure results that are patient (or diagnosis)-specific. 36 weeks 14 hours ago 133
