I am beginning to wonder if it is something hereditary. My Mom had to have knee surgery and then eventually had to have knee replacement.
Our son is prone to joint problems. (knees, shoulders, ankles)
I also have weak shoulders and hurt the one and…
You might want to see a sports medicine doctor.
When I tore my ACL, I first went to see my family doctor who agreed it was injured (obviously, it was really swollen), but only suggested ice and rest. I wasnt' satisfied, so I saw a sports med doctor…
If it was my situation, I'd try exercises with low impact in my knees but I definitely would visit the doctor right away, because there is obviously something wrong and we never know if it is some serious damage there (from what I have read knees ar…
Lori,
I would not wait to see a doctor if I were you.
I had knee pains (noticed it doing karate) for 2 years and thought like you that if it's not terribly painful, I'd just tough it out. When it got to the point where it was painful to even walk…
I am actually bad for not stretching enough. I was wondering if my hamstring is actually too tight rather than not strong enough.
I seem to have quite a bit of strength on the backside of my legs and not so much in the quads.
Guess I will try to be…
Hi ladies,
I couldn't resist but to jump in here because of my experience with a bummed knee.
Sometimes, knees do make funny sounds, but it may have to do more with being consistent with stretching. I've torn the anterior cruciate ligament on my r…
I've had similar weird creakign sounds from my knee but no pain. However something is seriously wrong with the ball of my left foot. It hurts so bad - the more pressure and weight I put on it the worse it hurts. I've been advised to lay off working…
My knee is bothering me. When I do squats it makes weird noises and now it is hurting.
My hamstring seems to pull when I try to stretch too.
I don't want to stop exercising but I'm not sure if complete rest is required or not.
How long is a reasonab…
I was always taught that your husbands wants come before yours if you are to be a good wife. I now realize that is not always right. It is okay to take care of myself and not feel guilty about it. (still working on this though) It is also not my res…
I have the same problem with my husband who actually really needs to lose about 60 pounds. But I can't get him to eat healthy. And not only is it a pain to make two meals, it's more expensive! For instance, I have to buy white bread in addition to w…
Hi, I had the same problem with my husband as well. It became really hard for me when we were constantly going out to dinner which usually would include cocktails before the meal and wine with the meal. I almost felt like I was fighting a losing bat…
My frustration is the lack of cooperation. I have more time than someone with 3 kids and tons of actvities to work around so I guess I can be thankful for that! That would be hard.
I feel physically ill when I don't eat properly so I have some rese…
I have the same problem. Spouse is the primary cook, and we have 3 kids, lots of activities, so time impacts the cooking, there is a lot of fast food, easy meals, and those all seem to be the high calories, high carb, high fat, foods. You almost hav…
Hello!
I have been in a similar situation in the past and it is very distressing....especially when you try so hard and you really want the other person to understand how much better they will feel if they eat better and stay active. So, my only ad…
I don't know how to deal with this besides making separate meals for myself. I could live on chicken and salad because I really like it but the other half doesn't. He is SOOOO picky!!
Hamburger helper is probably one of his favorite things and I can…
