I had once twisted my knee during futsal game and a loud pop! sounded, doc said I tore my ligament or something and that within a year or so should be ok. Now more than 10 years still have issue where I can't even sprint or jump from anything higher than a meter and sometime when abruptly stopping during fast walk (say in the airport) my knee locked and dislocated and had to twist and rotate to "put it back"

Any chance a surgery can fix this? how long is the recuperation time? Can get back to normal routine such as running etc?

How old are you, when does the tightness occur, are you very active in sports, what sports you do, do you have cramps at night, any other illness

Not sure if you're still active but I recently started feeling pain in my little finger. First joint near the knuckles when exerting pressure like when wringing clothes dry out or even when shaking hands.
Thumb also feels painful between the knuckle and first joint when bending.

Should I consult a rheumatologist or orthopaedic specialist for this?

good morning @harriskrishna

Last year i injured my knee during basketball games, and had went through 3 jabs of PRP (last one in Dec 2023), trying to avoid entering operating thereafter.

nowadays the crackling/rubbing sound still persist when my knee is contracted, very loud ones.

occasionnaly, i do tried to play basketball again but can really feel that my left knee is giving away; and that's where the compensation goes into my right knee. Hence, I really moving away from basketball from then onwards.

also, i've done the following to minimize my left knee burdern:
1. reduced body weight from 79 to 70kilo
2. added glucosamine+condroitine and fish oil as my daily supplement
3. replaced high impact sports of basketball with cycling
4. Frequently icing on my knees after workout (cycling) on a daily basis

just wondering if there's anything else I can do improve my knee condition, so that I can be back on basketball court again.

thanks in advance and really appreciate your time and input here.

Nothing else then healing, use ankle strength none knee strength. Use hip strength none anke strength
Don't use knee strength, will recover

I’ve had my fair share of injuries and pains, especially with back pain from sitting at a desk all day and a knee injury from playing sports.

One thing that really helped me was starting to use hyaluronic acid supplements. They made a noticeable difference in my joint health and mobility. Have you found that hyaluronic acid is effective for knee osteoarthritis or other joint issues?

Also, I’m curious about your thoughts on managing plantar fasciitis. I’ve heard mixed advice about stretching versus rest. What’s your take on the best approach for recovery?

The right professional would be a sport physician ( doctor who specializes in sport related injury), but this case can be seen by any orthopaedic surgeon or even normal clinic doctor who has enough knowledge,

So golfers elbow happen in the inner part of your elbow, due to injury

Usually an x ray is done to rule out fracture initially, then we cn confirm diagnosis by clinical examinations however mri would be the best modality bt unnecessary
Since its been 3months and healing, a gradual strengthening exercise should be done for your rehab, another method to relieve it is to go for SINGLE low dose steroid injection, done in many athlete to reduce the inflamamtion and hasten healing
A warm pack can help the soreness and elbow brace when doing activity to distribute the load

Do also note that steroid injection is not the same as anabolic steroid taken by gym users

what do you think of gorilla hug technique, thinking of trying for slip disc.

Spinal hyperextension poopy without twisting, it actually helps nutrients going in and the waste discharge
