I'm afraid the globus and compex are out of my budget. The neurotrac xl looks about the best i can buy but i am wondering if buying it would be worth it.

Hi, veganbee Can u post how you get on, i am using a basic ems machine i got off of ebay and i am thinking of upgrading to a better, stronger machine but i don't know which type to buy. I am using it mainly on my vmo b4 doing exercises and walking up and down my hallway. I am 3 weeks post op LR. reg...

Sorry I have not got back to you rider. Most of my pain over the years has been lateral so i might not be best placed to answer you but it could well be plica. hope you get to the bottom of it
cheers

The back of the kneecap was shaved at my last op 2 years ago. The surgeon said there is a lesion and microfracture may be required if it gives me bother but he did not say the location inside knee. I will find out the full extent of what has been done when i see the surgeon in a few weeks

yeah doing those, i had catching in the anterior lateral area for years and part of this op was hopefully going to cure what this was but the way my knee feels now, i don't think its worked visiting my pt in an hour so i will see what he says.

Hi,
I see no one else has responded to you. where exactly is your pain? right at the front of knee, lateral , medial?
When is it painful, full extension, when bending, all the time?
Any swelling at front ?

nwc07,krunzer, Thanks for the responses. I have a foam roller and a hard tennis ball but there is still a lot of pain in my quads(and bruising) so i cannot use them yet. I also usually visit an osteopath who does a type of trigger point therapy but he told me not to come back until 8 weeks after sur...

Hi Folks, 2 weeks ago i had LR done to my right knee. It's my 6th knee surgery so i've been around the block a bit with knee surgery but my lateral quad is the tightest it's ever been. I can't even get full flexion with it and its putting a lot of pressure on the lateral side of my knee. Has anybody...

Hi tez, I don't know if you remember me but you told me about Paul and last week Martin Buchan operated on my right knee, Lateral release and a tidy up. As for a brace what do you want to pay? i use a mcdavid hinged brace they are pretty sturdy and they come in at about xc2xa370. I hope everything g...

Hi everyone, I am due to go in for my 6th knee surgery in july(plica, LR, and whatever else they find) for the last few years i have been convinced my fat pad has been the problem but now after been told by 3 knee specialists it's not. i think my problem is scar tissue catching on the lateral side o...

Hi all,
i am just back from seeing a knee surgeon in scotland. he thinks i might be a candidate for the actifit implant. is there anyone out there who has had it? i am looking to find out your story if you have, has it helped or should i avoid it.

cheers

Driden, I hve never been properly diagnosed as having misalignment but i have never been diagnosed as having anything cos surgeons evade my qustions. I think i might have this misalignment problem from talking to a couple of physios and an osteopath who treat the symptoms with trigger point therapy ...

Hi everyone, I have been a member of this forum for a few years now but i have not been on here for a long time because i have felt totally dejected with my right knee. I have had 5 ops since 2002 3 meniscus trims, acl recon and fat pad trim. the last op being the fat pad trim 18 months ago. We all ...

after 6 months of constant rehab my knee is still painful and my vmo works when i do static quads and use estim but when i try to do wall slides or squats the lateral muscles overpower the medial ones. i seem to be going round in circles. the biomechanics of my leg are way out also( foot pronates, t...
