…nd my knee cap and especially to the front of my knee. I have been wearing braces but the pain is still there and it is terrible. I feel like an old person, how can this just start happening and I have no idea where it came from. Lately my back has been paining me again and I work in Accounting so I have to sit at desk all day. If i sit for too long my back, legs and knees start hurting. I am going back to the doctor but just wanted your opinion o…
…. The physician i saw the next day after the injury, told only to wear the brace. The second one i saw yesterday, told me that for 80% it’s a meniscus tear and it needs a surgery (he didn’t see MRI, and hadn’t any conclusions from ultrasound at all). However my physiotherapist advised me to try conservative treatment. What is your opinion?

…p twice (little benifit/short lived), and have paid $750 for a custom knee brace (type NFL players wear on Sunday). The brace provides help but it forces the joint to realign causing pain elsewhere due to my body making accommodations over the years to cope with the constant injury. I refuse the narcotics they constantly try to push down my throat. Instead I use over the counter pain meds like Motrin, Advil, and marijuana to address the constant h…
…spent on surgery, physical therapy, gadgets, massages, ice packs, special braces, special bandages, and on and on. One session with a physical therapist/trainer costs $80 to $125/hour. You will never learn in 5 sessions what you will gain from the information in my VIRTUAL CLINIC. One hour of massage costs between $60 and $100. That will leave you feeling better perhaps for a day… maybe two. The information in my VIRTUAL CLINIC will serve you for…

…ir way through middle age, baby boomers — the first generation to widely embrace running and other forms of exercise as the path to good health and long life — are breaking down and being repaired at a record clip, having more surgeries sooner, and all the while pushing the frontiers of orthopedic medicine. In 2006, 193,000 Americans age 45 to 64 had knee replacements, 39 percent of all such surgeries nationally, which was up from 35 percent in 20…
…ive and reassuring, and his program made so much sense that I decided to embrace it wholeheartedly. I am so glad that I made that decision…..I am seeing steady improvement already. I have been a long-time ethical vegetarian, but I decided to try the Paleo diet, as I was willing to do whatever was necessary to avoid surgery. To my great surprise, it has been an easy transition, I am feeling better than I have in a long time, and in only 6 weeks hav…
…’s way of protecting the knee from getting injured further, sort of like a brace or cast to keep the body in a safe place. Which is great when the body is first injured but can become problematic when the damaged tissue is healed and now you want to go back to living your life like it was before the knee injury. Scar tissue can sometimes prevent the knee from bending or extending fully. Breaking up scar tissue can be done either directly or indire…
