I am looking for doctor specialised in sport injuries especially knee.

I injured my knee last year while playing football and wasn't able to bend my leg fully.Doctor said it will take a few months to cure but till today, if i try to run, my knee gets weak and not able to support me..

I hope you can share some doctor's contact who can cure knee injuries.

you can go to see chiropractor and also physiotherapy. after the injury you need to do rehabilitation for full recovery.

Sorry to hijack, I'm having some problems with both of my knees too, appreciate if anyone can share a good contact of orthopaedic doctor around KL that specialises in knee/sports injuries..thanks.

did you experience lock knees? i've experienced meniscus tear and suffered alot because of that. could you guys provide more details on your injuries? ive got quite a few of doctor friends who might be able to help

You guy can try KL sport Medical centre (KLSMC) at Wisma Perintis, Jalan Dunggun, Damansara

Did my knee surgery there before, you can look for DR Tay or DR Saw.

Hope it help.

Yea both lock knees and loosen knees.. not sure how to call it. Sometimes my hamstring hurts too, basically I injured my left knee like 14 years back, when I was in my form 2.. I'm 28 now, fast forward. Did MRI twice before, both doctors didn't recommend surgery. Was ok until recently, I guess I gained weight and now both of my knees started to feel pain (including my right uninjured knee)

How's your knee now? Is it better?

damn, both our cases are very similiar. im about the same age as you, and believe me when i say that surgery is the very last option you should be looking at.
this may be anecdotal, but what happened to me was that after my initial injury, my knee would easily pop out and i wont be able to straighten my leg, sometimes up to 3 days. after the 5th time this happened, i stopped sports, i nvr play legs at the gym, and i cant remember when was the last time i jogged or ran. recently i went to HKL ortho and being the idiot that i am, i insisted on surgery, but the doctor persuaded me to go for physio for 3 months, and then she will re-evaluate. i am 2 months into my rehab and it turns out, i no longer have any major injury or problems with my knee, only that my legs are extremely weak. i used to have constant pain, but not anymore. so there you have it, dont go rushing into surgery. try going for physio and see if strengthening your legs is what you need. Oh and just in case it might help, because my legs were weak, i always locked my knees whenever i was standing still. do not do this shit.

Yea, I know right.. I was still pretty active even after my injury until I started working which has less time to commit on sports which is not advisable I guess. So yea, surgery is my last option too but these days my knees are getting worst. A 10 minutes walk from my office to car, I can feel that both of my knees feel pain.. not sharp pain but more like dull pain. I'm worried that it's bone-to-bone friction that's causing the pain

easy solution. if you can afford private, then by all means go ahead. but HKL ortho is good enough for me. go and see a normal doctor, exaggerate your problem and ask for a referral to a specialist. once there, tell them you wanna try rehab first and see what they say. and losing some weight will definitely help bro

Yea, been eating lesser nowadays. I do feel some slight improvement but my dull knee ache has really been bothering me and at one point it's depressing.. I'm actually looking out for more options and probably if someone here can recommend docs that have experienced in fixing their knees that will be great. How's HKL's doc and treatment thus far?

Even with surgery your knee won't be 100% again, you will get max 80% after that. It all depend on how you take care of you knee after the surgery. I can't wait to exercise even after 2 week of surgery so my knee is only 70% now but I still can swim, jog and do some workout. Normal walking is not a problem anyway. Surgery will be the last option if you have no choice because it is a long recovery process. By the way I did the stem cell regeneration on my knee as well (this is torturing!!!) hahaha...

hei guys, we have a physiotherapy clinic opened in Ara Damansara Oasis opened for appointments. Kindly look us up in FB Healing Oasis Sports Physiotherapy or PM me for more details. once you have seen your specialists and can be referred to us if you stay nearby here etc. for rehab sessions.

I am from a reputable hospital and i know it's a pain at times and service can be bad as you don't get personalized 1 to 1 sessions.

Footballer myself!. Cheers!

You did the surgery with Dr. Saw or Dr. Tay?
Are you back to sport now?

Self paid or insurance claim?

Wow.... I totally forgot about this post since 2015 lol.... Dr Tay operate me at Gleneagle medical center... He have a clinic there, my insurance cover the operation fee at Gleneagle but not physio. KLSMC and s not a panel hospital for GE... You have to pay first and claim back later....

Good to hear from you.

May see Dr. Tay soon. He is my 4th dr. All with different advise. Very confusing.

Dr Sean Ng is a good choice too for sports injuries. He attended to me before when I sprained an ankle while playing tennis and he's really good. He gives treatments that are as conservative as possible and only recommends surgery as needed.
