The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2004 I went jogging for about two hours yesterday morning, and about one hour this morning. I'm at NIU right now taking my placement tests and in between them I tried to go around campus a bit when OW! There's a searing pain emanating from the center of my kneecap. I can't jog, I can't run, I struggle with stairs. This sucks. What did I do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2004 No visible swelling. I wore my running shoes. I did my stretches. I hope it's just residual soreness form not exercising much up until June. And now from just getting out of the English placement test (it's great, all these web kiosks in the business/accountancy building here) where I've been writing for 40 straight minutes, my hand is cramping up. Give me some freaking morphine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ISportsFan 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2004 I'm not a runner for any continuous amount of time myself, but I can say from the times I have done long runs that stretching afterward is more important than beforehand. The difference in soreness was truly unbelieveable between the times I did and didn't stretch afterward. But, again from my non-expert opinion, the stretching may not have much to do with your knee, since (not) stretching has more to do with muscular soreness than joint pain (I would think).

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2004 Okay, so I got back from DeKalb around 5 and took a nap, what with my being up since 6 on a Saturday morning. I wake up and I'm in terrible pain. It's like somebody hit my kneecap with, oh, let's say a crowbar. That sort of pain. But there's no bruising that would go along with this pain. I figure something's strained, inflamed, or torn. I don't think I'm going out tomorrow morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted June 20, 2004 Was it the kind of thing where you took a step and PING! it hurt, or were you walking all day, then sat down, and it was hurting when you got up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted June 20, 2004 It's AIDS. No swelling, though..that doesn't make sense if you tore a ligament or your meniscus or something that sucks like that. Can you support your weight on it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you support your weight on it? I can walk on it, I just can't run or jog on it for more than a few yards before it just gets unbearable. I hate this. I wish I could just bite the bullet and rise above it but I can't do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted June 20, 2004 I don't think you've got anything to worry about. If you can stand on it and walk on it without screaming, and there's no swelling, you probably just hyperextended it, which is what it's sounding like to me. If you wake up and find a big painful balloon for a knee tomorrow, go to the doctor, because some damage was done. Otherwise, Tylenol or stronger fare, depending on your tastes. I realize I'm not medically qualified or anything, but I've been repairing myself for years, because I despise going to the doc. I'm certified in CPR and First Aid, though. Walk it off, pussy.

I realize I'm not medically qualified or anything Boob, this line is literally an INCH above that question. I mean, you even used the word qualified. Are you TRYING to be a retard? Yes. I'm a general practitioner. I got my degree at 22. I'm a ten-year veteran, I've delivered 300 babies and sewn a million stitches. In a few years, I'll have the cure for herpes.

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted June 20, 2004 I've been repairing myself for years, because I despise going to the doc. That's the same way I am. Only times I've been forced to go to the hospital for physical ailments are when I partially melted my right hand at work(I got a shitload of pain killers and used them all in like a week just getting high.) and this one time at school when they forced my father to pick me up. We were playing floor hockey in gym class and my hand got crushed between two sticks causing two of my fingers nails to completely shoot off and the webbing between my middle finger and ring finger to split open. My arm was covered in blood in no time. I had to get these little splint like finger nails. Otherwise I've gotten concusions, been stabbed in the back of the shoulder, ripped my knee apart doing stupid shit, etc and patched it up/dealt with it myself.

Guest Brian Report post Posted June 20, 2004 One of the problems, which happens to people who take a big grind on the knees, is that the tendon between bones tends to get broken up from the wear and tear. You end up with the bone right on top of each other, which is a lot of stress right on the knee. It's right in the knee, so I would doubt it's shin splints.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted June 20, 2004 I've needed stitches a couple of times, and very definitely got a bad concussion once, plus a couple broken noses. I didn't go to the doc for any of those, and I'm not dead. I refuse to go unless I'm losing gouts of blood, have lost breathing/pulse, or have a broken bone other than a finger, toe, or nose.

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted June 20, 2004 My worst concusion was my own fault. I was drunk and pissed off, this guy was bothering me and I finally snapped. I took this fat kid's titanium alloy crutch and busted it over my own head...I didn't know the screws were sticking out of it though and it ended up just tearing apart my scalp(I still to this day have 3 little bumps in a row on my scalp). I went nuts and chased the guy upstairs to the third floor apartment and he barricaded himself in. I then went down stairs, proceeded to drink a shot of vodka while bleeding all over a white sofa and watched Lethal Weapon 4 until the room started to fade in and out of darkness.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted June 20, 2004 I rode a bike down a thirty foot deep ravine in the dark, and rolled and bounced about 25 feet of the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted June 20, 2004 I had my chest and half my face covered in road rash plus other injuries from something similiar to that. I was riding bikes with my cousin to this house that was all fucked up where some guy had hung himself a couple years back and they said it was haunted. Well we went there and had some Mad Dog 20/20 but saw no ghosts. On the way home we had to go down one of the steepest hill streets you could imagine. I was coasting down the hill and noticed I was going a little to fast for my own good and tried using the breaks a tad. Turns out my cousin forgot to inform me that the brakes on his brothers bike didn't work, so I hit a sewer grate or something and just flipped and skid on the street for what seemed forever. After stopping I just laid there trying to regain myself and the bike came out of nowhere and landed on my back cracking one of my ribs. I smelled like burning tar, I was a heap of road rash, and I had a cracked rib. I went back to my cousins house and put some anti-biotic gel shit all over the rash, had some pizza, got stoned, and coughed up blood for the next few days.
