Question 1

can knocking knees of my son
aged 15 yrs be corrected by physiotherapy, exercises,yoga etc.
pl help.

Accepted Answer

Often:  Caused by femoral inversion which self corrects. Have him checked to rule out other causes. All the best.

Question 2

is it okay to do yoga and exercise once you've been diagnosed with a bruised bone knee?

Accepted Answer

Exercise Gently: Quote Dr. John Lyftogt: "Rest is not a stimulus for repair." Gentle exercise stimulates blood and lymphatic flow &amp; repair.Go easy. If knee is fractured, a certain amount of rest is required.If pain fails to subside within 3-6 weeks, it may be more than a bruise: fibular displacement or femoral nerve inflammation, for example.Seeing a dr. knowledgeable about chronic injury may then be appropriate.

Question 3

i was doing yoga & suddenly got foot & knee pain. its been 2 weeks & still the pain is same. when i did standing stretching exercise, it got better.?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: There are multiple potential causes and usually a detailed exam can determine the cause.  It would seem a little unusual to have injured your knee and foot at the same time (although it is possible), so one cause might be a sciatica.  In sciatica , a nerve can be irritated in the back and cause pain running from the knee to the foot.  Consider being seen.

Question 9

why do my knees sounds everytime i do lunges? it doe not hurt and it can't be result of a sedentary life because i do running and yoga 4 times a week

Accepted Answer

Crunchy kneecaps: The sound is coming from under your knee cap. As you bend your knee, the kneecap becomes more engaged in the knee. This is very common. As long as it doesn't cause pain, try to ignore it. If pain develops, avoid activities that make it worse (eg squats, lunges, stairs, kneeling), ice, anti-inflammatories, and tylenol (acetaminophen). If the pain doesn't improve after a period period of time, call your doctor.

knee pops out

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor. You may wish to try a knee brace during exercise, Wish you good health!
