knee

I went to my doctor yesterday and she was supposed to tell me I can go back to gymnastics...I haven't been to gymnastics since November 21st :( But now, I'm feeling pain where I shouldn't be and she wants another MRI so we can be sure my growth plate is healed up nicely and my meniscus is no...

To make long stories short, I have been doing new vaults, half halfs and half fulls. I have not been able to twist enough and end up hurting my knees when landing (if that makes any sense!). Also, i am a huge tumbler, so I do a lot of things that are 8/9 skills. I cant seem to land any back...

Well its been 10n days and we were back to the DR today. Was hoping he would let her start to do leaps and maybe tumble. I haven't really seen it as she was wearing a support on it but it is definitly black and blue - looks worse than I think it is. Dr was really moving it around and...

hi again i went to the doctor about my hurt knee and i ended up having a crooked knee cap. they gave me crutches and a knee brace that was $200. when i came into gym my coach said what are you doing? and she made me take off the brace and she took the crutches and didnt give them back till...

hi my knee has been bothering me for a few months. my coach keeps telling me to try to ignore it but it hurts me so much that i can even do things. my coach wont let me wear a brace and thinks that it’s nothing. i hyper extended it like 2 weeks ago and it made it worse. it now hurts to...

hi i posted like 2 weeks ago about my knee. i went to a doctor and he said to wear a special brace and he didnt take any xrays. i came into gym and my coach came up to me and said "whats that?" i said to her that i went to a doctor and he gave this to me and my coach said thats bull s* your...

My dd was just diagnosed with condramalasia patella or, softening of the cartiledge behind the knee cap. Doc says no gym for one week and the following 2 wks no squatting at all with pt excercises and ibuprophen for inflammation. Getting fitted for a support knee brace, too. Just wondering if my...

Haven't been around much for several weeks. Between work, gym and Em's school it's been crazy in our house. Poor Em has continued to have a lot of pain in her knee, and she and her coach finally decided there would be no more competing this year, and Em would ease up for a bit and see if her...

Lately I've been experiencing some pain in my ankles and knees. It's not extremely painful or anything, but I'm just wondering if anyone has tips on stretches or something similar I can do to build up strength in them again. A few notes: -I'm 15yr/o, level 4, been doing gym for about 2yrs. -I...

I was looking for any one who has gone though this and how long it affected you. DD has been diagnosed with this and is starting week 2 of rest. She is doing no running jumping landing, etc. She has noticed an improvement. She went to PT today and they said no doing anything to agitate it...

Well, little bit (7 years old) has grown 2 1/2 inches in 4 months and now has "jumpers knee" in her left knee. Ortho recommended 2 months off which won't happen :-( Has anyone gotten their gymmie through a rehab period? Or something similar? Thanks Mom to a sad gymmie

Everytime my 9 year old practices her level 6 vault, she comes home complaining about knee pain on the left leg. I wonder what she is doing wrong. None of her coaches tell her she is doing something wrong. In addition, the gym she belongs in has no pits and she lands on what her coach has...

My 8 year old level 6 DD was diagnosed in March with Sinding, Larsen-Johanson syndrome:eek: which appears to be similar to Osgood-Schlatters. She does PT once a week and took 1 month off completely and came back with modified workout, was better but now it appears to be back. From some of the...

So my knee has been bothering me for about a month now. I have a knee brace that I wear a few times a week especially if i am going to be doing a lot of walking. I can stand/walk on it OK but running, jumping, or bending a lot is pretty painful. There are days that It is Not TOO painful and then...

Hi, i have found recently that my knees are hurting during training and about up to an hour after, sometimes during the day when not at gym also. It is like a sharp pain when i put weight on it but fades after the impact of the step is done if that makes sense? for a while ive noticed my knees...

okay as many of you dont know i sprained my knee 3 weeks ago and was out until last thursday!:eek: so i didnt even get a full weeks practice in because i left early this tuesday because i wasnt feeling good and missed thursday because i had the 24 hour stomach flu!!!!:Dhaha! so on to the meet...

Hey everyone! i have my second ever level 7 meet tomorrow after spraining my knee pretty badly about 2 weeks ago. I have been back in the gym for less then a week!:eek: I missed one meet 2 weekends ago but im ready to go for this meet.Im already qualified for state s oits just about going out...

My dd has been having knee pain. The PT and chiropractor think it's likely a patella tracking issue. The chiro said I could get her one of the open patella knee supports and that would help with pain. Anyway, I was hoping to find something in a skintone that would come in a small size, but...

Most of us who coach have probably run into at least one kid who is physcially incapable of completely straightening their legs, due not to lack of tightness but due to simple joint structure. I was thinking about this recently, and I came to a realization. I have seen four gymnasts with this...
