Question 1

hey doc...i have a problem with my knees and leg muscles, it happens every time after my football(soccer)matches and it's really annoyingwhatshouldido?

Accepted Answer

Muscle soreness: If it is just muscle soreness, this happens when you  play intermittently. So you should practice  regularly to avoid this.

Question 2

not a pulled muscle or anything. i'm scared symptoms i have are knee cancer, osteosarcoma. should i see a doctor?

Accepted Answer

Please see doctor: Please see your doctor for a complete history and physical. 

Further evaluation will depend on the findings of that examination, but may include radiographs, an MRI or even an orthopedic surgeon consult.

Until you see your doctor, you will never know and just keep on worrying.

Question 3

knee pain & aches when moving  and its off they are red & hot and click when i stand up. i don't want to see a doc for them to say i'm too skinny and need some muscles on them but the pain is getting in the way and i feel as if i can move as well?

Accepted Answer

: No competent doctor will tell you that. You should see an orthopedist to have your knee evaluated since you may have an issue with your cartilage.

Question 4

hey my knee pops everytime i run or walk or even bend my knee. i had acl surgery april 2016. i went to see doctor he said it could be cuz my muscles a?

Accepted Answer

Painful?: Painless popping is usually of no concern. After ACL surgery, popping can occur due to minor shifts of fluid in the knee, tracking changes of the patella or due to small areas of scar tissue. It often takes 6-12 months to "re-build" the muscles to a satisfactory level after this surgery. If I can help, then join my virtual practice at www.healthtap.com/dr-clarkeholmes

Question 5

i have streched my knee ligament. doc has asked me to do some excersises to strengthen my other knee muscles. pls advice?

Accepted Answer

Physical therapy: Go to physical therapy, learn the exercises and do them religiously.  If it doesn't work seek other options.

Question 6

i have a pain in my left knee for so long, what i have got from visiting doctors is that the muscles of my knee cant keep the balance of patella, so it touches the tibia and its scratched, i have had medications and exercises, still no use???

Accepted Answer

Knee pain: The most common cause of knee pain is simple degenerative arthritis, but this is uncommon in someone younger than 25yrs. Treatment is physical therapy, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory medication. 
Sometimes patellar re-alignment can reduce pain if the problem is misalignment of the patellar tendon.

Question 7

so i went to the doctor he thinks i have a mencuis tear so i'm doing therapy the pt says i have no knee muscle mass what causes this to happen?

Accepted Answer

Disuse atrophy: If you have a painful condition in the leg, which can certainly occur with a tear in the meniscus, you can get atrophy in the muscles due to lack of use.  Therapy, or addressing the underlying cause of the pain can both be helpful.

Question 8

need doctor's help! will my calf muscle damage my knee?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: One of the calf muscles, gastronemius, crosses both the ankle as well as the knee.
If the muscle is damaged it can cause you to change your gait/function of the knee which ultimately can cause knee pain. Occasional  the calf muscle tears (strained) close to the back of the knee and can cause "knee" pain directly.

Question 9

occasional knee pain in the last few years. last year i went to a doctor in another country and took an x-ray. he said i should go to physio to strengthen inner thigh muscles. i didn't go and now i have pain again and i am scared of x-ray. advise me ?

Accepted Answer

Eval: If you live in another country, consider getting assessment from your current physician. X-rays may or may not be indicated.

Question 10

do you recommend that i contact a doctor about minor muscle weakness in the shoulder and knee area that's lasting for 10 days? what could cause this?

Accepted Answer

Muscle weakness: Minor muscle weakness in two different areas of the body is usual without pain or numbness. See your primary care physician for evaluation.
