knee is fucked

uh-oh · 06-23-2018, 09:44 AM

tried circling the side of the pic for better accuracy. i know we got lifters and old people here in general who may have run the chance of ruining a joint so help da god out.

i can't pinpoint when exactly i hurt it, i think it was tuesday, but my knees are always rundown sore and achy. tuesday was pretty busy though and i helped take a bed off a truck, like a truck bed and we had to fight it off so im thinking maybe the crouching and busting it off the bolts couldn't helped (but i don't remember any pain from it) alot of my job is being crouched like this cool motherfucker here

except im holding a DA/sander and walking around the car in that position, like down the whole side, occasionally kneeling and leaning to get under rocker panels etc, and sometimes i'll hold it static for awhile if im fixing something in a particular area and don't have a stool etc cuz im moving fast. but alot of times just moving like that can strain the knees and if i stand and twist weird i can get pains here and there too but im always working fast paced and just thug it out.

but wednesday i woke up to pain to the left of my kneecap. sharp pain, any time i put weight on that leg or engage the knee at all. it lessens a bit when i use it though, like crouching and stuff, im putting most weight on my left though and just bending the right out of necessity but not ENGAGING it. so i worked through it wednesday. thursday morning i woke up to swelling and tightness, but the swelling was only noticeable when the knee was bent. like it pushed the swelling out of the other side of the knee, where the pain is at there isn't REALLY swelling, its there but word.

worked through it thurday and friday with it being slightly worse each day but i had like a compression knee brace/sleeve thing on which didn't help pain as much as distract from it with the feeling of uncomfortable shit.

now, since i've been limping and favoring it for days, my achilles/calf is tight as fuck and sore because its picked up the slack from my awkward gait. this morning the pain was badddd but its the same spot and im not swollen cuz i've been icing the fuck out of it after work.

arthritis/meniscus/mcl?

i don't think its mcl or any serious ligament damage because there is no instability, i guess it could be a strain? i dunno. im not thinking arthritis because im pretty sure the normal pain and aches were arthritis, im thinking a minor meniscus tear in that section

what are the chances of it healing if i continue to work on it and just hot and cold treatment it after work? its bad enough to require xrays i think just from the debilitating aspects but i don't want to go through the system unless i become completely debilitated by it. i can still favor it and just use mechanic type stools to roll around cars instead of crouch. but when moving stools/chairs side to side i get pops and shit moving in there

really this was just an incredibly long venting post since i woke up and the pain is still there but if the NC docs want to chime in have at it. or ignore.

Go to a doctor?

Hush · 06-23-2018, 10:08 AM

I got a bad knee when it rains sometimes

I wana help but u typed too much

So I don’t understand the nature of ur injury

Is it like swollen wit liquid inside ?

Amen · 06-23-2018, 10:23 AM

I've experienced quite the knee problems growing up from football, running track/hurtles and baseball, but everyone is different.

Sounds like MCL issue from all the crouching repetitive motion of up/down.

Inno · 06-23-2018, 11:18 AM

All the hot pockets uh oh stuff down his throat went directly to his knees

Ghost1 · 06-23-2018, 01:34 PM

My buddy just was diagnosed w a bakers cyst....he works HVAC

Could be that

Only one way to know for sure tho .....but u already know that

Ghost1 · 06-23-2018, 01:35 PM

I never had knee issues personally. I guess be happy it's not ur shoulder ... Knee surgery is like 100% accurate these days

uh-oh · 06-23-2018, 01:53 PM

word my right shoulder is bad too but its bearable because i can limit the range of motion when the pain strikes and it comes and goes. but i mean i can pop and crack it at will. loud cracks. like cracking a knuckle but my shoulder. im sure its more bone shit. bone spurs and grinding etc as opposed to muscle/ligament damage

but word i got a pretty nice heat pad wrapped around it now, kicked back chilling fucking off

im just going to alternate hot and cold all weekend, its rainy as shit all weekend. just gonna find some games to play and shit to watch and just rotate hot and cold and see how its doing.

i tend to sit cross legged alot though and i never noticed it until i couldn't.

but word

edit- also i seen bakers cyst while googling, isn't that for sure. the back of my knee is fine no lumps/pain or anything. its all up front just to the left of the kneecap (like the inner side of my right leg)

@Witty

Can I, with confidence prescribe him Organic apple cider vinegar now LOL?

15ML with 8oz of water twice daily.

Outside of knee is LCL. I have a torn one right now. Super fun time! Stayed off the mats for 2 weeks even though they told me 3. RICE it and if you can get a hard brace.

Finnydot · 06-23-2018, 03:37 PM

Bro... Sometimes you gotta sack up and go to the Dr. Being manly and working through injuries is just dumb. A smart man would just get it looked at.

Finnydot · 06-23-2018, 03:39 PM

Also... If you get hurt on the job or have long term issues due to the job, you can get reimbursed. Don't be dumb and fuck your shit up for life and not get looked at cuz then you're fucked.

That’s a common juijitsu injury, no?

From straining the ligements in the direction the knee isn’t meant to bend. Like left/right instead of forward and backwards?

Destroyer · 06-23-2018, 03:46 PM

You know it’s bad when finny is the voice of reason

uh-oh · 06-23-2018, 04:27 PM

my pops went the workers comp route im familiar with the process

im not going through that until its absolutely necessary, if i go through work i gotta go through those motions, if i just make an appointment on the side without going through work then im fucked if i end up missing work because of it.

im thinking worst case its a minor meniscus tear, maybe an mcl sprain. its just pain and some swelling

if i had stability problems, or if it gets progressively worse im not going to have a choice

but i'd rather grit it out until necessary. its not like it gives out. i just get sharp pains if i step or put weight on it wrong. so it suckkks but its not super fucked, yet.

Your mcl is on the inside side of your knee.

ive just done a shit job of explaining it, was about to again but realized how it could be read wrong depending on the vantage, my left vs someone elses etc. so here is another pic

all swelling is internal im sure (the stiffness of the joint) but the swelling thats noticeable externally is on the opposite side. no pain there at all though. just puffy when i bend the knee like if i try to bring my knee to my chest. all the pain is on the inside of the joint. its exacerbated if im turning/changing direction/rotating the foot/shin. i couldnt circle the actual back of the calf, but the lower calf is now tight as shit because of walking funky which i tried to circle. its almost like i've been tip toeing with my right to relieve pressure on the knee so thats sore. but thats just muscle soreness from overworking that specific part

but word that should clear it up. i don't think its any CL. i think its the meniscus if not just a flare up of legit arthritis? but i don't know how serious arthritis is because ive always had aches and shit

Bruh. Real talk. Start taking care of yourself. Please.

Sounds like your MCL man... See a doctor.
