Guest guest Posted February 22, 2002 Report Share Posted February 22, 2002 Hi : That is a good idea to get another Dr., no one should feel like they are being pushed aside. Pain is real, and if u feel pain in your knees there has to be a reason. That is why i would go to another dr. My son has had pain in his knees and i will have to bring this up to his dr.

Thanks......Janice. I had knee and hip pain until I got orthotics. Think about it, if your feet are not positioned correctly due to hammer toes, weak muscles, or muscles with excess tone, then the logical area for stress would be the knees and hips. Many people put more pressure on the inside or outside of the bottom of the foot, this will cause stress in the knees and hips. An Orthotist will design you some insoles and modify your shoes so that you stand on all your feet evenly. They can custom design and fit an AFO (Ankle Foot Orthotics) which is a brace that you wear inside your shoes that keeps your ankle straight, it may go up to your knee.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2002 Report Share Posted February 23, 2002 Janice, I also have knee pain, in my right knee. It began about two years ago, which was two years after my tc surgery. Up till then, my knees never gave my any trouble. My right knee joint has more side to side motion than it used to; I think that's caused by the muscles around the knee getting weak. I had physical therapy for it two years ago, and it helped. Making the muscles around the knee stronger keeps the knee from moving in ways that it was not designed to move. I modified my exercise routine to include an elliptical trainer machine at the gym. I think Rick had a good point about orthotics. I'm going to look into getting some. -TJ __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
