Doc please have something thats like a tennis elbow on the outer side of my left knee. Am worried its been over a month now

[@lynneakleinschmidt9283]

I can report that after watching this video and doing the exercises, I have experienced immediate relief for my knee. I have stretched and used a massage tool on trigger points which only achieved some relief. Not being able to do the bridge without knee pain, or walk upstairs without pain and been my problem for several months now. Simply sitting in a chair and alternate raising my knees has been a wonderful exercise for relief. I will now incorporate your exercises in my normal twice weekly gym routine. I am 77 years old and have this problem for nearly two years. Thank you so much.

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome. I'm glad they helped.

How’s your knee now?

[@marktheregulardude8651]

@Salvi Villanueva I forgot I had even had a knee problem. It's been so long that I haven't had knee issues. Definitely follow along and have patients. I'm about 30lbs heavier now (due to lifting and bulking) and knee pain? Non-existent (hopefully it stays that way). After you heal this you won't take your knees for granted, I practice mobility and stretching regularly (2-3 times a week when I'm on the couch watching TV or inbetween in the kitchen cooking. Really easy to fit some moves in. I definitely recommend these excersises. I squat at the gym, way heavier than before (with good healthy form and shoes with a slightly elevated heel) and I honestly forget I had these issues with my knee the way they have not came back

Just wanted to say thanks, particularly for the first couple mins of the video explaining how to self diagnose. I was unsure of whether I had pt, as I've had a lot of other distal knee problems, but by pulling the patella up via your instructions and digging in, it was clear that was the issue (ow). Trying to ascertain with a bent knee didn't reproduce the pain, as you mention in the video. Great stuff. Appreciated.

[@williambrown3208]

I had surgery on my foot last November. They did a lot, and I had to go 3 months non weight bearing. I was able to start putting pressure on my foot 1st week of February. I started PT, and I noticed a pain below my knee. I went to see a Dr, and he thinks I have patellar tendonitis from going non weight bearing for that long and getting back to moving around. I am going to try these exercises. I hope this helps out. I will ice my knee more. I feel the pain more when I am at PT doing PT from the surgery I got on my foot. My doctor said that the swelling in my foot and leg will take about 6 months for the swelling to subside somewhat.

[@erikabresselsmith3346]

I am so grateful for these exercises. They are my daily routine now, otherwise I am really hurting. May I ask you some questions Dr Jo? I feel a little lost with what is going on with my knee and I don't get much of an answer from my Dr. I fell 4 months ago real bad on my knees. As I was on my way to Germany I never went to a Dr as I thought I just bruised it badly. I let 3 1/2 month pass when I got an MRI done. It shows that I have a small fracture in my lateral meniscus and that I have a diffusely thickened patellar tendon pacticularly in the mid to proximal aspect with amorphous increased signal. This measures up to 1.4cm in thickness. I am not an athlete at all. I wonder if this came because of the miniscus tear? I have the feeling the tear has been growing together in these 3 1/2 months and now there is just a little tear left. Did this stress my patellar tendon? I am not sure what I need to do to heal this now. I am taking Curcumin w/ Bioperine and Ginger. Now I am getting another supplement with Glocusomine/MSM, Boswelia etc and I am getting a MSM cream. I am doing your excericises and Thank God they really make a difference. I am just concerned with the inflammation and the thickness of the tendon. Is there anything else you can recommend me? I will get some acupuncture too. Sorry for all those questions. I would even set up an appointment with you if that is possible. I just need some help with this. Thank you so so much for your time and effort!!!

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome. I'm glad the exercises are helping. Did you have any knee issues before the fall? Sometimes a meniscus can tear just over time with "wear and tear," but it's definitely possible all that happened with the fall. Usually when we fall on our knees, we hit the patella (kneecap). Since the patellar tendon is attached to the patella, if the patella was extremely moved with the fall, it most likely tore it then, and has been healing since. The thickness is usually just a sign of scarring or irritation. Are you able to go see a physical therapist in person?

[@erikabresselsmith3346]

Thank you dear Dr Jo for such a fast reply. I didn't really have any problems with my knees before, but I could feel sometimes that they are not so strong when getting up from kneeling. To see a physical therapist I will have to drive over 2 hours. I live very remote. I thought I just do your exercises. They really do help me. I was just concerned about the thickness of the tendon. I hope my supplements knock out the inflammation and it is just some scarring. Thank you so so much for being so helpful and also available for questions. I really appreciate it so much!!!

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome! I definitely think if you feel like the video is helping, it will continue to feel better. Just stay consistent with it, and hopefully you will be completely recovered soon. Good luck!

When I lay straight with my legs out the right always falls to the side. Thats the worse one as of now because it use to be the left one. Im only 34 and literally have to pull myself up the flight of stairs to my apt. Its so sad. Im moving in a month and im dreading taking boxes up and down. When I get out of bed I have to stand there and let my knees get adjusted. Then im walking like a newborn for the first min or 2. Lol. Also my hamstrings use to be so tight I couldn't even stretch my legs out because my leg was always pulling in. All of this from overuse and me amping up my workout to lose weight so wouldn't mess up my knees long term. Ow the irony. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ this happened last yr. And its gotten worse slowly.

Thank you so much! Because of your video I realized I had patellar tendinitis! I love running and I run a lot of miles but I’m cutting back the running and biking instead! Thanks for the tips!

I am having this knee pain for over 3 weeks. I wonder how long will it last? Will I ever be able to play soccer again?

My pain is on left side of my right knee patellar tendon. It pains while squatting but not while running or walking. My doc said its patellar tendonitis. Pain in my knee is almost from 7 months and there is only little improvement. So is this exercise good for my knee?

How long did you do the routine before getting back to leg training? I keep doing this, and then my knees feel better, but then I have a leg workout and then my knees are tender again. Please, I need to know what I can do

Hi, I would like to ask you, should I do some spanish squats 4-5x 45secs daily with your stretches? Or 2-4 times a week both? Or less? I had it once years ago, your video helped, but here I'am again after 3 years 😩😀

[@stephaniesoto8883]

Had knee surgery and been doing these stretches and exercises. Also been doing the same with your back video for the pass few days and feel a difference. Thank you!
