My Fragile Body

**Nate K** · 03-15-2007, 03:17 PM

This semester I have learned alot from injures.

I messed up some soft tissue in my lower back during winter break from sumo deadlifts and not stopping when I was doing heavy front squats and felt pain. My back is all better now after time off and slowly returing to lower back stress.

I have had problems with my right knee ever since doing half a classic 5x5 strength program last semester...my knees were buckeling inwards.
I think I slowly trained through some tendonitis and that turned into tendonosis. I was/am rehabing the tendonsis with eccentic 1- leg squat and lunges.
Bodybuilding.com - Dr. David Ryan - The Truth About Tendon Pain.

After 2-weeks of rehab my knee felt much better. I jogged probably about 3/4 of a mile on last Wednesday then shot some baskets by myself on that Saturday.

I have rested my knee since last Saturday. My left knee feels fine now as usual but my right knee now feels like it has a patellar tracking problem; it was popping yesterday and the day before....it has felt better everyday but it feels uncomfortable when sitting, movie goers syndrome whatever you want to call it.

I did some bar only squats and front squats today; my patellar tendon feels ok now but now there is this uncomfortableness under or slighly below the patella, not a pin-pointable pain.
Say I do a but kick (standing) I can feel my patella slightly popping/sliding back into place on the decent of each leg at about 45 degrees from the starting point (straight). I

I have continued training Hams ever since my back has been better....could this be dumb...leading to tracking problem.

That sucks.

You probably know this, but the following guidelines help to prevent injuries.
- Don't do it if it hurts.
- Take a week off every 4-8 weeks.
- Do dynamic stretching before and static stretching after your workout.
- Use a foamroller.
- Balance your program (push/pull, internal/external rotation, etc.)

Yeah, I think I am now knowledgable enough to prevent injures if I ever finally get over this knee.

Go see a sports doctor.

If you can't go straight to that, go see a general practitioner and get referred to a sports doc, you'll have to make it happen though. Most GP's will just say take some med and come back in 6 weeks if it still bothers you.

Try to get the sports doc to set you up with some physical therapy.

Yeah.

I don't have a general doctor where I am to refer me to anything. I was going to call/go to a physical therapy place in the phonebook. I just google mapped it and it's next to a medical center.
