[@MrDarobert]

By far the best knee issue presentation I’ve ever seen. I love how he breaks down each piece and describe symptoms and waste to improve it. By far the most helpful KZbin video for the issues I’ve ever seen.

[@estelleadamski308]

Last yr. I injured my knee, my DR was surprised I didn't have significant arthritis. MRI showed complex meniscus tear, Baker's cyst and a bone contusion & loose bodies I tried all the conservative measures w/no lasting relief, so 6 mos. later I had a partial meniscectomy & loose body removal. My knee still hurts, 4 mos. after surgery But now my other knee hurts really bad. All around the knee is painful, no swelling, a lot in back of the knee, the pain is 10/10 at times. I'm taking Tylenol. I'm headed back to my Ortho. Enjoyed the vides Thks!

Your thumbnail has each area labeled with a letter, and then you completely abandon that in the video itself. I have a problem in area e and you never said area e

Did you find out I also saw e and the picture and related?

You should Peng him so he notices

[@lokylong28]

He did explain it, 2:50 and 3:30, depending on which area, but do see a professional for rehabilitation instead of self-diagnosis

Excellent synopsis of various causes of knee pain Doc! Well done! 👍👍

Thanks!! Appreciate the comment

[@shenmeng5426]

Thank U so much for this great video, with really good visuals and clear explanation!❣ I absolutely do not know until I saw Ur video to know there is a field as nonoperative orthopedist and I love it.👏 I have had knee pain and complained to the doctor and those regular operative orthopedist do not even diagnose me other than saw my MRI and tell me that I have healthy knee among most of his patients. ( MRI now is about 3-4 yrs old, showed mild cartilage degeneration. Yet, I have so much pain standing, and walking. He did not even care when I told him I have pain in daily functioning. All he cared is if he can do surgery. Since I am not such candidate, so he did not even diagnose me. It just do not make any sense, and I started to get scared as I just scared of Surgery, or it got much worse. May I ask, do U have any good doctor like U in your field that I can find in Los Angeles❓ I so wished U are closer here.😇 ( I have done several rounds of physical therapy, I think it helped a bit, but do not solve the problem. ) I would really appreciate to hear from U, and thank U again 🙏💖

Clear and concise info that covers all issues with the knee.

I tried Boswellia serrata as you recommended in a previous video, it's made a massive difference to my knee arthritis which I've had for 5 years. Many thanks to you

[@JeffreyPengMD]

Great to hear!

[@MichaelHoggard]

I just ordered some of that. Plus I'm taking all kinds of anti-inflammatory supplements. (aa)

[@UntilNextime]

Your graphs and descriptions are so helpful. Nobody has ever recognized my knee issues to be associated with a tibia fracture 47 years ago. For the past 7 years, I've kept it rapped when I'm out. It showed inflammation for the first time only recently. An MRI suggests OA and that isn't what I believe to be the pain source problem.

[@bajiron]

Great informative video. Thank you for teaching us about the knee problems and types.

[@MsVivian99]

Best advice and information I’ve come across. Thankyou !,

[@DasJoppe]

Thank you for this video. I found out I've likely been struggling with both quadriceps tendinopathy and patellar tendinopathy. I'm sure the causes are problems with my squat (shifting feet, pushing too much through the heel, and bouncing out of the hole on heavy reps) and exessive hiking (going for +2 hour-long walks almost every day--- I got way too much free time since I quit my job).

[@HS99876]

Very good Video, Also extra weight and weak leg muscles put lots of pressure on the knees.

[@thefather414]

You have a beautiful thumbnail. My pain is in section A. But your video has nothing to do with the thumbnail. Moving on.

I was standing for 2 hours due to some chore, and now i have pain at the side of the knee, the inner right side of left knee

[@prashantrajput300]

Thanks for this information

[@mrmr314]

All these guys don't cover torn cartilage or smashed cartilage on the outside of the knee. It seems to be rarer but that's what I've got from a bad surfing injury. Knee blew up like a soccer ball and then cracked a few times about eight hours later. Certainly something is amiss there toward the outside of the joint. It feels like it's swollen and full of fluid all the time (can't crouch) but doesn't look swollen and the knee itself is packed tight (this happened 25 years ago and I've just put up with it).

[@katharinekearns7495]

About 17 years ago, I had a partial ACL tear that led to a full tear and a bucket tear of my meniscus; because of the timeline between tests, surgery and finances. I definitely remember the pain when I got the bucket tear more than pain associated with the AClL tear. From time to time my knee pain is bad. My orthopedic surgeon said I lost most of my meniscus. Right now I’m having a flare up. I’m trying to remember some of the exercises I did in PT, but were those most likely for my ACL and not the loss of meniscus?

[@MellenKandakatie]

Thank you for your help

[@FrankATracy]

Please redo the video using the letters in the thumbnail picture. You would help us a lot more if your content was organized properly.

Thanks a lot for showing the names of the knee area and what causes. The pain there I literally was masssaging those area you were talking about and it worked your the best dr knee dude

[@Wise-Lady-La-Aura]

Never had knee pain before, luckily. I was coming down the steps and took two steps at once, accidently, landing upright, but extra force on my legs. It resulted in a swollen side of my knee the next day. Now I have pain to the inside of the leg, parallel to the knee. I wrapped it and put a pad of castor oil on it. That helped, but man I was in pain after taking a shower and going to sleep for the night. I was happy the pain was gone in the morning. A day later the pain came back in the same inner area of my knee, and now extends up my inner thigh, which worries me. I guess I will put some ice on it, take an anti inflammatory, then wrap it again with a gauze pad soaked in castor oil ( it reduces inflammation for several reasons, one being it helps brake up white blood cells that accumulate after an injury). It's probably not serious, but it seriously hurts and it is stopping me from a lot of work I need to do. Thanks for the explanation. I am a relatively healthy and fit woman, starting to get older and need to say in good health. Thank you.

[@Yodaddio]

You definitely don't want one. It will immobilized you 😮

[@Wise-Lady-La-Aura]

@@Yodaddio - Thank you. The pain finally subsided, but it took 10 days. All the ice, the wrapping, and the treatments, like castor oil soaked gauze pads helped bring down the swelling and now I can walk and do things as I normally did without pain. I was in such pain when I wrote this. I was reaching out for help. You’re right, I didn’t want this. I am so relieved it is over. My sympathy is with anyone going through this right now. Take time to treat your pain. Thank you.

Hi doc. Thanks for the video. Very good. I have had knee problems for quite awhile now. Im 68 and it's really getting me down. I've got knee pads from America but they only sort of work. Im pretty sure it's arthritis in my knees. It's mainly the left knee and l've been using crutches a fair bit. Do you have any suggestions. They would be very much appreciated.

Hello Doctor , I'm waiting on a MRI I have had knee pain wear I struggled to walk and now after 5 weeks the next problem is I can't bend my knee .

Hi, you mentioned the nerve at the side of the knee, is there anyway to release this nerve a bit please, thanks. I haven’t got any meniscus left in my knee, so my surgeon injected a gel in between the bones, and it’s helped greatly.

[@Craig040]

Doc, I'ver recently had a knot forming on the outside of my right knee just in front of my itb after spending an hour or two walking around. It goes away by the time I wake up the next day. Anything I should be on the lookout for? Should I be in a hurry to get checked out?

Hey doc! I had ACL reconstruction 6 months ago and I've been struggling along the way because I've been experiencing pain on the sides of the kneecap more below it and my patellar when it comes to certain exercises especially squatting,hopping and walking for too long. Also, sometimes when I go from extension to flexion my kneecap shifts quickly and you can hear a crunch noise. It doesn't hurt but its uncomfortable. I just wanna know what could be the issue and what should I do ? My PT and surgeon have been no help.

Can L4-L5 nerve root irritation cause lateral tracking and or lateral compression syndrome?
