I got my MRI results, which look pretty good, since my fracture seems to be healed Although the doctor there had no idea how I fractured my kneecap vertically like that in the first place, claiming that stress fractures occur horizontally. Doctors keep asking me if I banged it somewhere, and find it hard to believe it happened during just sprinting.
Anyway.
There’s still a “medium amount of liquid in the joint”. Is this something that vanishes on its own? There’s still irritation, but it’s “stiffness” irritation, not the “fracture-kind”.
Try wrapping the knee loosely at night after rubbing on some heat rub combined with traumeel cream. that should help loosen up the area and possibly remove some of the remaining fluid. let us know if that helps.
I just saw this post.
Does this Enzyme need a subscription?
Is this considered medicine? :o I don’t like medicine. :o
(Knee seems to bother me very little only after track work and prolonged walking, but it’s pretty minor right now, heaps better than two weeks ago. I’m happy about it).
I don’t see why not but you need to know what’s going on- is there really healing going on?- that’s what the product is for- not just inflammation. It rolls over the amino acids in the injury site to promote healing. the main enzymes are papain and bromelaine from papaya and pineapple.
of these enzymes, you can buy in a good local drug store, or health food shop. Normally pretty cheap and work a treat. Even try a Naturapath, they should have them.
charlie can you just clarify what you mean by “is there really healing going on”…i am really tired do maybe i am just slow tonight!
Do you mean address the cause of the injury and utilize the healing process?
Yes, it’s me and my knee again…
I notice when I am doing a wall sit isometric, that the quad spot i am pointing out in the picture is indented compared to my other leg. Is that muscle I need to strengthen / balance out? I am asking because it looks white in the picture, and I am not sure what part of the leg that is.
Thank you…
“The root of our ‘negative’ experiences may be reduced to one of three universal fears (or a combination of them): abandonment, low self-worth, or lack of trust”.
In my case right now, I just have no clue any more …
The constant irritation is always at the same spot (middle of kneecap, towards the inside), but if I try striding, the pain goes to the outside as well, which is where the fracture occured, and until the inflammation calms down (it takes a few days) it even hurts to press on that spot.
Regardless, the latest MRI (August) showed an “old fracture”, and not a current one.
I know a whole lot of people must be tired of hearing/reading about this… only imagine how I feel… :mad: @@#^&^(&^&%&%&$^&#$^#$#&# :mad:
(do not tell me to chill out, I have tried yoga too). :mad:
