daz316 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 So I've had an MRI scan and its shown i have a small tear of the lateral meniscus and a small radial tear from twisting my knee playing football on the 04th December. I'm just starting proper physio but did pay for some private therapy with ultrasound etc before this. Up until a few weeks ago I could really straighten of bend my knee properly but I can know. It just feels quite week when I put pressure on it and the pain seems to move around. I've played football twice so far since, the first time it didn't go well, last week it held out ok and didn't make anything worse. I'm just wondering is this going to be as good as it gets Know? I'd there any possibility it will feel normal again? I generally kept fit with football in mind, the weights etc were all too build strength for playing. If I can't play properly again ill be gutted.

mikeyp102 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Your physio should let you know.. Ive had knee pain for a while and MRI showed no tear. My physio is giving me different stretching exercises to strength the muscles around the knee.. Yours may be able to do likewise which would help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz316 Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Thanks mikey, just worried if its a tear that may never heal then I don't see how physio is going to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baselayers Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I think you need to help your knee out by strengthening your quad muscle first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz316 Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Quads are already ok from football anyway. Physios told me I've for great quads! Took that as a chat up lineI am very aware Ingram!! She's a villa van now too....sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I think you need to help your knee out by strengthening your quad muscle first Yep. As well as hips/glutes and hamstrings. Tight and/or weak hip flexors can cause knee problems as can imbalances between the muscles that make up the quadriceps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz316 Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 They recommend physio before surgery saying that surgery could do more damage but the physio I was seeing privately seemed to think surgery would be a simple job?Lol thought that comment was a bit naughty then until I saw what I'd typed......bravo!

Stevo985 Posted April 24, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 24, 2013 If it doesn't feel fixed, stop playing football on it until it does. You're asking for trouble if you continue to play on it when you shouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 You have my sympathies Daz, though I must admit my disappointed that this latest installment in The Daz Show is no way near as fantastic or salacious as previous episodes. I mean, actual advice? This show's been going downhill since season 2, if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he injured his knee when he was jumping the shark? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
