Thanks
This all happened January 19th
I could walk normally but carefully 1st week of March.
Now I'm just trying to get back to athletic movements
I have noticed my range of motion is not 100%. It's like 99%.
When I try to extend my leg from a sitting position it's like I can't get it all the way up. (Imagine a quad extension machine. That's what I'm trying to do)
modern doctor here.
What you need is to lay in bed for 6 weeks without getting up at all and take 4 opioids, a laxative, a diuretic, and these 3 SSRI and anti-psychosis meds. Then you need to eat just like the food pyramid says. 15 servings of bread and maybe 1 vegetable.
January 19th? I retract my prior statement. Is it still swollen like that or is that picture from shortly after? If it’s still swollen after 2 months, could be concerning. If it’s just the pain now but no swelling, probably just a bony contusion which can take a few months to heal, or patellofemoral syndrome that you developed from limping for awhile.
The pics I've been posting are all from January 19th, 20th, 21st. I was punched earlier in the day on Jan. 19
It looks completely normal looking at it from the outside now
Only symptoms left is that pain on the inside of my knee right behind the kneecap and only having 99% of my range of motion when I do a quad extension.
>Any advice?
see an expert
no one diagnosis from these pictures.
I'll do that a little bit more then along with the range of motion stuff someone mentioned
How did you injure yours?
Were you punched for being a Faggot? This part is very important for the healing process.
Wow haven't seen that pic posted on Yas Forums in years
Nice to see an oldfag not spamming BBC
Ok that’s good. So like I said probably either a bony contusion which is still healing, or patellofemora pain. Basically, patellofemoral pain is extremely common, especially after limping for a while. Your quad muscles typically pull your patella along a track at the end of your femur- the trochlear groove. Basically a limp will result in asymmetry of your quad muscles- usually some weakness of your medial quad muscles, and the asymmetry causes your patella to be pulled slightly off this track. Google patellar tracking, patellar taping, and medial quadriceps strengthening. If it’s a bone contusion though, it will get better- just give it time, and the above probably won’t help. Patellofemoral pain takes a good bit of time to heal so keep up with your medial quad exercises. I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between the two without an exam- but try these things: if you push down directly on the kneecap and have pain, probably a contusion. If you have pain along the medial and lateral borders of the knee cap, or if you straighten your leg, relax it, apply pressure to the top of the knee cap and flex your quad (patellar inhibition test) then it’s probably patellofemoral. You still probably don’t need to get seen for this right now. If you try exercises for a month or two with no improvement, you’ll need physical therapy. Doesn’t sound like anything dangerous or surgical though
