A member asked:
I'm 25, diagnosed with ligamentous laxity after recurrence of knee edema, i'd like to know if i can go to the gym and run and what type of exercises?

Not enough info: The physician who made that diagnosis knows the severity of that laxity and which ligaments are involved. I encourage you to ask that provider if there should be any particular restrictions of activity. Take care.
