Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on my injuries.
Just a quick background, im 23, reasonably fit, been playing football since I was 11, and don't do any physical work for a job.
Over the last 2 - 3 years i have had an increase in soreness in and around my kneecaps. I find when I land on the points of my kneecaps, I feel excruiciating pain, which afterwards ususally ends up with swelled kneecaps. (possibly bursatis?)
I would usually be sitting in the car etc, and start to get an uncomfortable throbbing from my knee, which the only way to make it feel better is to stretch it out.
I started wearing a patella strap, which gave my knee extra support, and I had seen a huge improvement.
However once I feel like my knee is back to normal, I get a knock on it, or someone's knee pokes into mine, and it goes back to the original pain, instantly not being able to walk on it, with about 5 mins passing before i can walk on it again.
I know that there is probably a bursar issue at play here, but also wondering if there is something else? As my knee's just seem so tender and easily hurt.
I have since had lower back/upper hamstring issues, which i have been doing pilates to try and fix.
Anyone that possibly knows what it is, i would appreciate all feedback.
Cheers
