      I seem to have a meniscus tear on my left knee, it is from doing 200 rep calisthenics squats, i am a racing cyclist and i am 45, can i continue to ride my bike if i stop the squat exercises? I am in pain walking but its not excessive, on the bike the pain lowers once my body temperature warms up but there is still discomfort, its more of a dull ache when riding the bike, im also now taking a glucosamine supplement is that the rite thing to do?

    • @SportsInjuryPhysio
      @SportsInjuryPhysio  Před rokem +5

      @@stuartmclean3843 The general rule seems to be that you can continue any exercise that:
      1. Does not cause a significant increase in pain while doing the activity AND
      2. Does not cause an increase in pain and swelling in the 24 hours after - make sure to check the delayed response
      But that said, if you are a racing cyclist you will be very good at suppressing pain and not really taking note - I find that any athlete who does high intensity or endurance sport tend to not have a reliable pain system so if it is not getting better it might be that the cycling is aggravating it regardless of it not being that painful.
      Also, don't do high intensity sessions if it is a fresh injury - go easy for 4 to 6 weeks (you physio will be able to better guide you on appropriate times depending on progress)

    I tore my meniscus two years ago, it was the worst 12 weeks of my life as far as pain… I couldn’t walk, drive or go up stairs. I went to ortho surgeon and he suggested surgery, I was a week from going to have surgery and all of a sudden I started to feel better, in the meantime waiting i really spent a lot of time resting it and icing …and walking very carefully I ended up canceling the surgery and I am here to tell you My knee feels amazing… I slowly started to move my knee and do some light exercises…. From beginning to end it took 3-4 months, I was 70 years old at the time. I am so thankful I saved my meniscus and living life fully again

And trust me, there has NOT BEEN A SINGLE doctor who has guided this properly as she did. Especially everything about the rehab she told.

      After weeks of physio … in which time I was given more gentle exercise…. I went online and found this podcast.
      I guided myself by the amount of pain I was feeling , and now realise it was the correct thing to do . I’m not quite perfect yet , but can walk comfortably and do the normal things . This has been great confirmation of how my knee was reacting with meniscus damage … thanks!

      Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people because an upsetting event occurs in their lives taking them by surprise, unexpectedly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death.
      While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes.
      Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way.
      It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......

    This is easily the best video I have found for advice on how to start healing and preventing further injury. Other videos I've seen either tell you to start exercising right away or are surgeons telling you that you're basically screwed but to get surgery anyway. It's great to see a video that is about being proactive.

    Thank you this really clarified things...most things on the internet was pointing to surgery and I'm glad that's not the case. I was doing a yoga stretch for lower back last Monday call "Pidgeon" where you put one leg straight back and the other in front of you bent in at a right angle where you go into a sleeping (lying down) pose on top of the knee. I've been doing this stretch for over a year but adjusted it to be a little straighter in the angle on my right side. This is where I felt a small pop and some mild pain in my knee the second I laid down. I shook it off and attempted to do the stretch again (since I barely began doing it when it popped) and felt a bigger pop with stronger pain in my lateral side this got me to stop and I rested it for a few minuets and tried one more time but this time the pain resided in the knee giving me an very strong acute pain every time I moved it at that type of angle or side; there was no swelling or discoloration so I didn't think there was a tear but the internet said there might not be. I got up and was able to stand fine with no pain, I walked with tightness but no pain, squatted with no pain but my knee would make a click sound when I would go from bent to extended, there was no locking of the knee and keeping it extended made it feel better. Now three days later my knee feels better than it did in years but I still cant do certain things such as put on my socks on while sitting as the knee going up that high to sit on the other knee and the shifting of my weight puts a good amount of pressure on that side of the joint where I'm getting a quick buzz of pain but everything else seems fine. The clicking has gone away, the stiffness has subsided and I am walking normally, I can lift and bend it with little pain and very mild tightness if I pivot to turn normally so I think what you said of keeping it moving helps GREATLY. Moral of the story...this video is very informative and beware the "Pidgeon" stretch!!!

  • @Kazberhaf
    @Kazberhaf Před 2 lety +3

    Thank you very much Maryke. I injured my knee (meniscus injury) about four years ago and had physio at the time and did lots of exercises. It has never really fully healed, and I do have to be careful that I don’t walk for extended periods on uneven ground, specifically downhill. I went to Symonds Yat yesterday which is a beauty spot near Ross on Wye in the UK, walked down from the rock at the top of the valley down to the river and by the time I got down to the river the knee was twinging… I then obviously had to walk back up again which was not too much of a problem and I had no pain, but after that it became extremely painful any time I had to walk even on a slight slant downwards. I do feel I’m back to square one and hence I looked for a video to help me, this was extremely detailed and I will follow your advice to try and get it back again. I do feel a bit defeatist having had it for so long and being in my sixties now, but I will try what you suggest as it sounds like such good advice 🤷‍♀️ thanks once again, you have good knowledge and obvious passion for the subject, much appreciated 🙏

    Firstly, just want to say thank you so much for all the info, it was straight forward and easy to understand, by far, the best of quite a few videos on watched on this subject, in my opinion! Just wondering about walking. I am an older person and have possibly got a menicus injury due to a twisting motion with feet turned the wrong way... it feels like a lateral one as the pain is on the outside of the right knee. It is 2 weeks old today and so much better, the acute, excrutiating phaze has passed and I can now support myself and walk around the house. I will start with the exercises you recommend while waiting for an appointment with the physiotherapist. However, I am wondering about walking, I took a very slow walk but obviously far too long and suffered a lot of pain and aching afterwards, both nerve pain, sciatica and throbbing. I then decided to take it easy and only take a very short walk which was much better. So, I'm listening to my body but would like to know the general advice with regards to walking, which I love, I am using Homeopathic remedies to control the pain and inflammation, also tumeric. It has worked very well and speeded up the recovery, will continue taking them until fully healed. Also have arthritis in both knees... Once again many thanks!

    Very detailed and helpful information. My orthopedic surgeon recommended me to have surgery for mensics oblique tear. I am getting second recommendation but after watching your video I will decide and take a 3-4 months rehab with physio. The physio team are great as they recommended the exact exercise as what you mentioned. Balance, single leg stuff and glue bridge and gentle squats.i also do have tight calf but that is fine.
