Does anyone else have this knee condition?! My knees turn inward...?!
Question: Does anyone else have this knee condition!?! My knees turn inward!.!.!.!?
So I'm a 15 year old girl, I'm 5ft 9!.5" and I'm skinny!. In the begining of January, I started a running unit in gym, and I also started up advanced ballet and pointe classes again!. I began to notice a little discomfort in my right knee while I was running, but I dsmissed it since it wasn't anything more than a small ache!. A couple weeks later, my new dance teacher noticed I was having trouble doing plietes!. She took one look at me and said, "Do you know your right knee is turned inward!?!" It wasn't that bad, but it was definately noticable!. After that things began to snowball!. I ended up limping half the mile in gym class!. My right knee turned inward even more, and dance was so painful after the first 30 mins, my legs would start shaking like leaves!. Normal things like walking or going up stairs began to irritate my legs!. I went to see a knee surgeon a couple months ago, but he said all he could really do about the problem was give me pain meds and have me go through PT!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
I have looked at your photos and it is not clear what you mean by the knee rotating in!. Is it your kneecap that is sliding or is the leg rotating from the hip!?
Regardless, this is not normal at all and needs aggressive intervention and a better diagnosis than you have thus far received!. Are your knees giving out due to pain or weakness!? You could have a condition involving the back side of the kneecap called patellar pain syndrome!. This is a treatable condition with correct physical therapy exercise to strengthen the quadriceps muscles to take the pressure off the kneecap!.
I think you need to see a different orthopedic surgeon, one who really takes the time to evaluate your problem and develop a better treatment plan!. You may need to see a family doctor to get a better referral recommendation, but you are at the end of growing so your bones should be sealed at the growth plates!.!.!.!.!.!.if there is an orthopod who specializes in sports medicine in adolescents or teenagers, you might find a more aggressive involved caregiver!. Regardless, don't give up and think you are crippled for life!. There is an answer out there, you just have to be persistent to find the right doctor to get to the root of your problem and develop a treatment approach that is successful!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
