i've had a bad knee (left) for a little under a year now. it's always been weak, but after training to fight within the past year i've had it pop out of location a few times (knee cap) due to being kicked and other things....
sports med guy told me NO squats or leg ext. EVER again....
haven't seen an orthopedic sugeon, but the dr. said it's stretched/ruptured connective tissues around/under/ontop of my knee cap....
well....what should i do for legs?
i ride my bike a lot and have been doing leg press, leg curls and a couple calf machines...
any help greatly appreacieted
thanks. |

I can understand no extensions, but as for squats you should wrap always and listen to your body. If it doesn't feel right don't do them.
Leg press is an option, but stay away from the hack squat machine.

thanks. | im not a sports med expert but if you dont strengthen those muscles to support the knee joint you will be more likely to have a seperation again . get a 2nd opinion and really explain what you do to the guy .

Its hard to believe never again. Surgury? Strengthing? Therapy? How did you mess up you knee so bad? You said it has always been weak. Since birth?

see a specialist and get an MRI. until then stay away from anything that aggravates things

Since birth? | surgery isn't an option right now cuz rehab and recovery would take too long.... i messed it up getting kicked in the leg repeatedly, and it's just been weak for whatever reason my whole life. i'm gonna go see an ortho on my day off to see if i can get myself an MRI.
