What my knees normally look like (knobbly, I know):

Now what my knee looks like, after the dislocation:

As you can see, my knee is swollen up like a balloon. I can't walk on it. At all.

Your body has begun to eat itself. RUN.

or, don't run, because that would probably make it worse.

my question is, how did you happen to have a picture of your undislocated knee?
do you keep a file folder of pictures of undamaged parts of your body?
and if so, why?
maybe for insurance or future plastic surgery?

Knee problems suck. I've had Osgood Schlaughters (sp) before. I couldn't run or do anything for a month or so before it started to go away. Then last summer I did something to em while trying to start running again (I ran cross country for 5 years), and they broke pretty much. I went to physical therapy for 6 months or so before I just decided to screw it. They don't bother me too much now, cept when I bend down to pick something up etc.

Three ACL Reconstructions here - one on the left using the patellar tendon, two on the right with the first one using a hamstring graft, and the second one using a cadaver ligament.

Knee problems suck.

the second one using a cadaver ligament.

NASTAY.

Does your undead knee ever try to take control of your body and try to kill people?

That's my other knee, martyr :)

This happens to me nearly all the time. I would say it's worse this time, because I can't put any weight on it at all. Normally I can walk abit, but not now. I'm starting to wonder if I've damaged my muscles because they seem to be pretty inflamed.

NASTAY.

Does your undead knee ever try to take control of your body and try to kill people?I had it start a rebellion once where it incited my earlobe to twitch uncontrollably for 6 hours straight unless I gave in to its demand of a sitting through an Andy Griffith Show marathon on TV. Seems the old owner loved watching The Andy Griffith Show. Since I refuse to communicate with terrorist ligament factions, better known as the TLF, I suffered through what I call "The Great Earlobe Agitation Incident". Fortunately the earlobe was convinced through under-the-table negotiations with my nasal cavities to fall limp again. It was rough there for a while though.

I too suffer from knee problems (not horrible just a sore knee if a I run all day read:paintball) I played football took a couple lateral hits to the side of my knee I also raced and dislocated my knee pretty badly once. It sucks preety bad when it hurts but a good days rest and ice packs often fix it.

I have a friend that broke one knee and dislocated the other. I was there both times it happened, not a pretty sight. He was all tearing out chunks of his hair and screaming... so yeah, it was pretty painful for him. They had to completely reconstruct his one knee (the patella was pretty much turned into a lot of tiny little shards when he broke his knee, and a pile of ligaments were torn from the bone). The other one they just had to pop back in but it is weaker than ever now, and can be painful for him to run on.

Poor dude. He is one of those kids who lives in a family that doesnt have a TV. No, I'm not kidding, no TV in his house, or a computer. Instead, they have like a jillion dirt bikes and ATVs and bikes and all sorts of stuff. His parents are pretty cool too, like his dad can do bike tricks and stuff. Anyhow I feel really bad for him because now he really doesnt do much but watch other people do tricks... with his knees he is pretty much grounded now. :(

I can really feel for that guy. That's like my problem on a higher scale. I used to play a hell of a lot of rugby when I was younger, professionally too. Now I can't do jack shit. Plus, I've put abit of weight on since I've done it.

Wierd thing is, the first time it happened to him, he was trying to throw a chick into a snowbank, and he had her held over his head then he stepped on a patch of ice right as he threw her forward. Not sure exactly what happened, but I saw his leg twist inwards so that it was pointed backwards, him fall forward and start screaming his head off. Scary as hell.

The other time, me, him, my bro, and my friend Josh were all kinda mosh-pitting on one of those huge trampolines. You know, kinda just jumping up into the air and slamming into one another, seeing who could knock down who and stuff. Well, it was a lot of fun up until Josh tackled my friend (Cody) and I guess Cody was coming down on that one leg from a jump right as he got tackled, and his leg was all sideways and he was screamin again.

The irony is that he is a volunteer ambulance person, and both times he got picked by his ambulance and crew.

He mostly just goes and hangs out with ppl now, and kinda gimps around on his messed up knees (like, he can't even run that well). He used to be able to do some pretty fuckin cool tricks too.

Some people just have genetically bad knees, not much they can do about it. Sucks even more when it is a person with a really active lifestyle, it really makes it tough for them.

Anyhow Hezzy, hope your knee gets better and you can get back out onto the field!

It went inwards? Yowch. I got kicked on the outside of the knee, and it went slightly inwards. Hurt like hell, but I didn't really damage it, I can only imagine the pain from it staying like that :scared:
