JUMPERS KNEE | Doctor's ULTIMATE Guide to Common NBA Injury

[@Glaedr11]

I had extreme pain in my Patellar tendon area of both knees whenever I did something that would stretch the tendon from aged 15 to 18. I played basketball and volleyball. Bad enough pain that I had to take 4 ibuprofen before every sports practice or game just to be able to function. Two visits to a doctor and they never gave me a diagnosis of anything, however. They just told me to "strengthen my legs". However, at the time it hurt way too much and I was scares to lift and put my legs under more of a load. I then went to a chiropractor (yeah yeah, make fun of chiropractors), and in the imaging they took of my knees, they pointed out the apparent damage of that tendon area. Through working with them, it was discovered that my hips were rotated a certain way that kinked the chain of energy up through my knees. My feet had always been at a 90 degree angle of one another my whole life when I walked, stood, or ran, but I never thought anything of it. The rotation of my legs literally caused exactly what you described in the video with the lateral shifting of the tendon when I bent my legs. For about a year I went every two weeks to keep adjusting my hips as they literally straightened out when adjusted, but in a few days got crooked again. Over time, I had to go less and less frequently, and my hips stayed in line. At that point my pain was almost gone, and any lingering pain went away once I got serious in the gym and strengthened my legs after all. So that's my story. Maybe the doc helped, maybe the chiropractor helped. I dont care

[@blackout2430]

A lot of chiros are quacks but if you find a good one you’re lucky. Mine fixed my hips and my back pain went away for good. People also sleep funny (and also have bad posture like you explained) and getting your hips adjusted clears up most common problems

[@tungvu4339]

I played in a basketball tourney and we played 5 games in like 6 hours and after i couldn't straighten them out and it happens every once in a while but when i straighten it then it feels like something is pulling in my knee

[@Raptors19tdot]

Dude hearing your story, I have a feeling that your a point guard who moves side to side alot or you got flat fee? When you crossover attention to your knees, u can see that it's bending outwards. Or if your a dunker do u land on the heels? If yes to these then you have to relearn all those movements again that puts less stress and prevent knees bending. If your a dunker try to land on your toes instead of heels

I have jumpers knee. I hurt my knee last August in basketball, and it's now July. It's extremely painful when going down slopes and stairs. I can't even bend down on my knees without excruciating pain. I can't run or jump. You literally feel like an 80 year old man. I recently started focusing on quad exercises to increase quad strength, as well as taking naproxen. I also take a collagen supplements, as well as l glutamine, protein shakes and fish oil. I've noticed a huge improvement. Hopefully I'll be back to dunking soon.

Great video! I was a catcher in baseball and goalie in hockey. I’ve had issues with this for 10+ years. Started with a 8 month rehab and was back. Fast forward several years the pain got severe again. I ended up getting injections that didn’t help, in fact one knee got worse and ended up requiring surgery. What I’ve noticed is that the post surgery rehab is brutal. Definitely going to show this video to people asking what’s wrong with my knees.

I had the same issue from my 4th year of college basketball, where I landed wrong after a lazy layup and my left knee started hurting. It never healed throughout the next two years while i continued to play, I'd use knee support, which would prevent the pain while playing but without it i was practically immobile. Cut to almost 1.5 years of not playing basketball through the pandemic, now when i go play basketball, I'm completely healed and i also continue the rehad to strengthen my hip flexures and abductor movements which caused the issue back then. So long break and rest is clearly the one of the ways to let the knee heal, so if you get an opportunity like that be sure to take it and make the most of it.

[@ZaxCal]

I have this. Stretching and a good knee brace has helped a ton. Specifically ones that provide support over the top of the patella. Also don’t jump off of stuff that too high. It can make it way worse.

Another thing that exacerbates this pain for me is having weak/tight abductors. I’ve been strengthening my VMO for a while now and doing some sets of hip abductor exercises before my leg workouts basically eliminate the pain from working out. Still get soreness after the fact sometimes though.

Thanks Doc I play ultimate disc an have suffered for this condition for at least a few years now, initially is was just under my knee caps an now the pain has moved lower to where the patellar tendon meet the shin bone.

I will also be resting rather then pushing thru the pain for now on. Appreciate it!

If you have jumper's knee, make sure you really take time to understand how bad it is with your doctor. I think most stuff online always concludes to "How to recover from patella tendonitis" but that purely depends on how badly you damaged your tendon. I had jumpers knee for almost 3-4 years and even the pain did go away. In those 4 years, I didn't play any basketball as much or as frequently as I did before the injury (including dunking, etc...). However, 7 weeks ago, I decided while playing basketball, "You know what, let me try to dunk the basketball again" and lo and behold, my tendon ruptured 😩 I'm even typing this in bed with a knee brace right now lol. I was super confused as to how or why it happened, but after some weeks after the surgery, it all started to make sense. I never really took the time(having ultrasounds from the doctor etc...) to understand how badly my tendonitis was. If you have jumper's knee, I do wish you a speedy recovery but please, please nag your doctor for as much info on how bad your tendonitis is. I'm glad I ruptured my tendon at 30, imagine it ruptured at 50(in terms of how long it would have taken to heal).

[@versatillion15]

Were you doing anything to strengthen your legs before you tried to dunk?

Interestingly, I havent done the exercise you mentioned, I have just done exercises to overall streghten the VMO, to get the kneecap back to place. I also found that a patellar tendon strap really helps out a lot during sports activity ( I still play from time to time). Again, thanks so much for the information (not only from this video), keeo up the good work!

Very interested in jumping patterns when it comes to knee issues. I've noticed in some NBA players (KD, Reggie Miller) that their shooting motion brings their knees together. I was always curious if that leads to certain tendon strain vs a Klay Thompson style of (proper motion) knees aligned with hips or slightly outside. Which quad muscles put differing strain on certain tendons.

[@Anon.G]

We call that turning in knee valgus, and this won't affect tendons, but ligaments around the knee.

*FOR ANYBODY WHO HAS THIS TYPE OF INJURY* Imma be real, ive been suffering from a knee injury for years. I injured my knee while hiking and me being an ignorant teenager i didnt goto the hospital and walked it off. It didnt hurt alot, just was weak and uncomfortable. Years later i got it checked out (MRI and a visit to the doctor) they said i needed to rest and made me wear a knee brace that blocks the movement completely. I wore it for a month, it was painful and annoying, it just made it worse i lost all my muscles in my left leg and it felt crazy weak. Because of that i relied on my right leg to do the left legs work. Now guess what i have pain in both my knees, NEVER TAKE WHAT ANY DOCTOR TELLS YOU AS FACTS, GET 2ND OPINION OR DO INDIVIDUAL RESEARCH. Now my patella injury is chronic and it aint gonna heal without a surgery, this has seriously hurt my passion for sports. Dont be me and GET A 2ND OPINION AND DO RESEARCH BY YOURSELF. Physical symptoms would include Protruding Patella Tendon Pain and discomfort regurally Swelling Any stress causes pain Shoes with bad cushioning cause pain Cold temperatures cause pain Weakness and lack of explosiveness Side effect this chronic injury were MCL tear (Minor) Right knee problems (Left knee is the one i injured originally) Tendon tear, above the patella (I dont remember the exact name)

My gooood i've had this for years ! I'll try to do what u've suggested

[@Xboxlove1]

i got jumper's knee because im a two foot jumper and land super stiff when doing 1 foot jump layups, got to remember to absorb the landing with your muscles and activate and be intune with your leg muscles

Could you do a video on a ruptured Achilles. Hudson-Odoi from Chelsea just got this injury

[@af72332]

Im a soccer player and I've had this issue a little over a year and I really want to get this fixed.. I've done rest for months.and have done PT for months.. MRI even shows nothing but still extreme pain when I try to play soccer and can feel it at times when going up and down stairs or even standing up sometimes.

[@tamiodoi716]

i surely understand that healing process is vary depending on individual and the stage they are in, but in general, how long its going to take to heal the tendon? and thank you for another great informative video.

[@benjibarnes9171]

Can you do a video on turf toe please

[@bethcourt9504]

Excellent video!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@tjbasketball4]

I use to have this in high school and it was really painful especially at the beginning of games

[@djelohist1]

Can you please give more guidance on some more ways ( or exercises ) that can help with the pain?

[@Tiger24kicks]

You should do a video of exercises for people recovering from patellar tendon surgery. I have not fully recovered and can't jump or move side to side and can't run.

[@palmbaypapi7452]

Do Hudson-Odoi next! He ruptured his Achilles tendon. How does that affect him in future, especially for someone that's a speedster? Love your vids! Not a med student but super informative! :)

[@sademetsävelho]

Hey Brian! Can you do a video on osgood schlatter's decease and how its different with jumpers knee? :)

[@hardworkgetsbuckets8797]

Are they different?

[@medi3val735]

I'll never forget the day this happened to me. Jumped, knee popped, and now I have a second knee

[@alexmoha2698]

Hye sir! I wanna talk to you. We have the same problem

[@z0uLess]

Yep, landers knee is more appropriate. I have gotten this recently from playing talble tennis and its only in my left knee because thats where I put a landing motion from my right forehand stroke by pushing my weight (jumping) off from the right leg to catch my weight on the left leg.

My knees (patellar tendons) have been killing for about a year now. I went heavy on them with a few days of long snowboarding in the park and on moguls and they just haven’t healed.
