Feeling Down As Shit I hate making really serious threads. And i know some might laugh at this. But I'm actually going crazy here at my apartment. I'm a lifter, football player, and runner. Being active is a huge huge huge part of my life. I recently got what was known as ''Runners Knee'' shirt hurts like an absolute motherfucker. Feels like someones stabbing my knee and everything below it. Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

It's not sciatica, is it? Nerve damage and pain from a bulging disc? I've had 3 instances of that this year, and it hurts like a motherf***er. But I have a good chiropractor and he fixed me each time (as the video you saw will attest to!). The first time was the most expensive because we had to X-ray me, but that still came in at less than $1,000. Probably closer to $700 or so. | |

I'm pretty sure it's Runners Knee. These are the symptoms

Hmmm i was reading up on Sciatica. And it is only one side of my body that feels pain. The right side... Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

Maybe it's time for pampering and taking care of yourself instead of doing things that can aggrivate the injury. For example, how about soaking in a hot tub or mineral pool? You might try some heating pads to soothe the sore muscles. If you use a tiger balm or woodlock oil from the Chinese market, it has a better scent than, say, Ben Gay rub and the heat & liniment can do wonders. If you don't have access to spa-like treatments, you could just soak in a bathtub - or at least body parts below the knee. Treat yourself - you might try some bubble bath, mustard bath (that's at health markets), or some simple scents like lavender or sandalwood. You should also get a massage. It's one thing to rub your own knees and legs, but you can really relax when you have a professional doing it. You'd be surprised how much your body parts are connected. For example, relaxing your shoulders can help relax your back, which can help relax your legs. Or maybe you just need some hunky men to come over and rastle naked with you! Either way, just relax and listen to your body telling you, "Hey bud, slow the f-down!" | |

Isnt "runners knee" essentially abuse of the knee through improper development of the support muscles/tissue connected to the knee?

^ it has a lot of causes. overuse is one of them, injury is another, repetitive stress syndrome comes into it for some folks. my doctor tells me i have runners knee too, in the beginning stages. just enough to keep me off the stairmaster forever it's painful and there's not much one can do about it. fixes can include injections into the affected area, surgery for bad cases. i feel okay when i don't use my knees much, so i'm really sorry for Gunshalen who is in agony. hope you get better soon. the only cure i know personally right is 'don't use the knee' | |

Guns if there is any way you can get in to see an orthopedist I think it would be worth it.
It's Obamacare open enrollment right now. And if you make less than a certain amount per year you qualify for MediCal which is full coverage & no cost. This is actually not a bad state to be a Medicaid patient from what I understand.
It sounds like the inability to exercise is causing you some stress and I believe it. I was laid up with a broken ankle for months, couldn't exercise or even get around without pain. It does a number on your mental state, if you are used to being active and suddenly have to rest, even depend on others to help. I got kinda depressed sitting on the couch for 2 months.
There is not much you can do besides grin and bear it, try to remember you are in a temporary situation that is doing a number on your emotions, and it will eventually be over because you are doing the right thing to heal it. I just tried to turn my flame down as low as it would go for those months, and come out the other side. | |

Anyway i say that stuff to say, DO NOT hesitated to go to a doctor, chiropractor, or whomever, 2 get treatment for your issues. I totally understand your concerns about the costs of treatment but joint, foot, knee, neck, nerve damage/pain is serious business and nothing 2 mess with. Without treatment the problems usually gets worse and harder 2 treat(and more costly). Even without working out, you're a big/tall guy,and that alone (over time) will do a job on your joints, muscles, etc. Good luck. Rest in Peace Bettie Boo. See u soon. | |

I'm sorry for you, Gunshalen.
99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%. | |

runners knee is an overuse injury exacerbated by tight and weak hamstrings and unbalanced strength in your quads. | |
