Wondering If Someone Can Answer My Question....? Posted: 01-14-05 22:10pm
Im a 15 year old femal who plays jv
basketball and is very active in other
sports too...... During my jv volleyball
season I must have done something to my
right knee..... It hurts to the point
where alls I can do is cry sometimes and
im not one to cry over such things as
pain..... The pain is on the left inside
of my right knee around my knee cap and
there is pain on the right side of it
too....... I cant figure out wut I could
have done...... When I stand up from a
desk, chair, couch, or something to sit on
I have to either balance myself on
something or else I fall right back down
into my seat because my knee just gives
right out on me....... It also gives out
as I start to go down stairs.........
Then when I run or walk I have noticed
that my knee and leg seem to go out to the
right...... If anyone has any information
please help because I need to get back to
my ruteen of bball! Thanks

Sounds like you blew your knee out,
possibly torn a ligament. It's difficult
to recommend anything over the internet..
You will have to see a health care
professional. You likely will not be
playing b-ball for a while to come and
will require a knee brace to help you
maintain your balance and strength.

Proper healing will take 3 months to a
year, depending on the extend of damage.
This will include the use of a brace,
seeing a chiropractor regularly, and
taking some medications / adjusting your
diet. If it is a torn ligament, you will
have to take it easy... All because it
"seems" like it's fine again, doesn't mean
it's ok to start playing ball again.
Since you've injured both your ankles and
knee in the past few years, I can say that
you're going to really need to strengthen
your legs with some light weight exercises
and cardio exercises that will not put
much pressure on your legs. (i.E. No
sprints, no treadmill, no eleptical). It
will make a huge difference in your game
too.
See a doctor so you can get the healing
process started asap. The longer you
wait, the more damage can be done, and the
longer you'll be out of the game for. So
don't wait around for this... If you're
serious about playing, make sure you get
the full treatment. See a specialist.
And when you're all better i'll challenge
you to a game of 1-on-1... :p
hope this helps,
justin

a tendon connecting to the insertion point
on your knee.
