![[image loading]](http://i40.tinypic.com/2gxfngl.jpg) So this is for my leg injury i posted about two month ago. + Show Spoiler + Internet slow so i can't find it Anyways, this is the inside of my right knee, and the lighting makes it hard to see, but i circled a purple/red/blue vein-like thing that sticks out a little. The skin here is sensitive to touch. I cannot find this on my left leg. Cliffs of original injury: Hard to straighten out leg, right calf is slightly larger than left injury happened when i tried to straighten my leg (stretching) but with too much force discomfort around this area, particularly when leg is "straight" or bent past a right angle I'll try to quote the original injury when my internet gets better. | ||

I'll go through all of the stuff here ASAP (within the hour hopefully) but I might not reply to stuff that often for the next couple weeks | ||

Do you think I should keep doing squats through the pain or will that make this worse? What about icing? Uh, I wasn't talkiong about doing any of the stretches -- I was talking about doing the hip band mobilization. BUt working on the stretches would be OK too. I wouldn't work through the pain, especially if it's getting worse. Ice is OK if it helps. | ||

Well, if it's tendonitis this should help: http://www.eatmoveimprove.com/2009/08/on-tendonitis/ Main things will be massage to loosen up the muscle, and to the tendon if it helps; Light stretching, general mobility work, ice if it helps. | ||

There is still fixing to be done and it is still in crying when I externally rotate it. It most likely didnt help that I played handball for 2 hours in PE... I tried doing the radial head mobilization shown in the video but seemed rather odd to do on yourself. Will ask someone to do it on me later on. And once again thanks for the help! Also, is there anything bad about massaging too much? Say 30 minutes or something? Yes, you can do the radial mobilization on yourself... though, it may be hard to relax the mobilized arm to allow it to work. But yeah, you don't know how to do the grading that well so it may not work as effectively. Meh. Massaging too much if the muscles get really sore. I would aim for about 15-20 minutes every 3-4 hours or so or if it starts to tighten up when you're doing things. | ||

After an x-ray, it was determined no bones were broken. I iced, splinted, and took advil. It has been one week since I hurt it, and the pain has almost completely gone away. However, should I keep the splint on a bit longer to be safe? Thanks. Also on an unrelated note, should you let scrapes dry or keep them covered with bandages? If it doesn't hurt, starting moving your wrist around it a bunch. You likely don't need the split anymore if it's not hurting, but re-confirm this with your doctor. You want to keep wounds moist and covered to allow healing to occur. You should not allow scabbing. (This information is from my physical therapy wounds class so take that for what it's worth). Scabbing = increased chance of scarring and whatnot. | ||

It comes and goes based on exercise, will go into more detail if i feel its needed after the questions. 1. Google a pic and mark where it hurts. + Show Spoiler + #1 on the picture, Tibialis anterior muscle i would reckon, left leg only. ![[image loading]](http://www.iatrum.com/images/muscles/calf-muscles-side-view-10105w.jpg) + Show Spoiler + 2. What exercises hurt? Which shoulder articulations hurt? Make sure you check both with passive motion and resistive/active motion. http://www.exrx.net/Articulations/Shoulder.html + Show Spoiler + Exercises dont bother it. 3. What type of pain is it? Burning? Ache? Tingling? Sharp? + Show Spoiler + sharp pain, can't put any pressure on it until it goes away. 4. What would you rate the pain at on a 0/10 scale? 0 being no pain, 10 being go to the emergency room. + Show Spoiler + 8.5, but it does not last very long. 5. Acute or chronic (chronic more than ~6-8 weeks)? What date was onset? How has the pain improved since the initial injury? + Show Spoiler + i have had it for quite awhile (>>8 weeks.. probably around a year if i had to guess), but since it comes and goes ive never looked into it. 6. Have you been training through pain? If so, how long? + Show Spoiler + if it acts up, i tend to just stretch my leg and walk it off and it goes away. 7. How deep is the pain? Is it more superficial tissues? Or does it seem to be more inside or around the joint? Describe it. + Show Spoiler + i would say tissue 8. What have you been doing for recovery purposes? + Show Spoiler + nothing 9. What seems to help? What seems to make it worse? Is it constant? Does it increase/decrease with certain activities? + Show Spoiler + I play alot of tennis, and i generally get it the day after a long session, or at night if i played earlier in the day. It seems any sort of twisting motion of the lower leg is what sparks the initial pain burst, or if im sitting with my left leg in a slightly odd position, when i go to adjust the pain can strike. It generally only lasts a minute or two, and eventually even if i twist my lower leg i cant spark the pain again. i cant walk on that leg when the pain is there, unless the load on my leg is basically concentric with the leg, and there is zero twisting or torsional movement in the leg. the pain will gradually decrease and then stop, only to strike either later or another time. 10. Check the tissue quality of the surrounding muscles. Which ones are tight? Which ones are tender? Is there any swelling? + Show Spoiler + feels and looks the same as my right leg, which has never had this. 11. How does it feel after exercise (if any)? How does it feel at the beginning of the day? How about the end of the day? + Show Spoiler + After exercise it feels fine. if i exercise early in the day, say 12-2, i may get an episode at the end of the day. But generally i exercise at the end of the day, and if i feel anything it wouldnt be till the next day. If i didnt exercise for a few days i would not get an episode. 12. Any previous injury history?+ Show Spoiler + not in this region, small shoulder injury 4+ years ago. 13. How's your posture?+ Show Spoiler + Average 14. What is your current workout routine for that bodypart? Do you play any sports?+ Show Spoiler + I do weighted calf raises, squats, good mornings, DL's, for lower body, but it has never caused any irritation in that area during the exercise. Sometimes, hours or next day (similar to tennis scenario), it will show up 15. Any other information I should be aware of or that comes to mind that may help? + Show Spoiler + At first my doc thought it was my knee and got that checked out via xray/mri, both showed a healthy knee. that doctor is gone now though and i havnt been to a new one  if you need any more info, please ask I would suggest getting yourself a foam roller and/or tennis ball and foam rolling your entire lower leg -- kind of a catch all soft tissue massage type thing to loosen up tissues. What I suspect is that it might be your fibular nerve when it wraps around the head of the fibula -- during exercise it likely is getting pinched whether the fibular head is not articulating well with the tibia, or if the soft tissues are tight and impinging it. HOpefully, the soft tissue work will help loosen up the tight muscles and allow the fibular head to move a bit better decreasing risk for the impingement of the nerve. The fact that stretching alleviates the issues means that soft tissue work/stretching/etc. to loosen up those tissues is likely to work to solve this issue | ||

Sorry I was referring to this stretch in the picture below. http://brian.potomaccrossfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/photo3.jpg I've started doing a similar thing with my back foot on a chair instead of against the wall so I'll see how that goes for a few days. Something I probably should have mentioned before is that I think I sprained my left hip/glute in a different spot doing kick boxing 2 or 3 months ago. I think I may have sprained it when doing a kick like the one below. http://highlandkarate.weebly.com/uploads/2/6/9/6/2696158/5154799.jpg?304x289 It's nothing too painful and only really hurts if I move my leg forward and out in a certain manner. Now if I raise my left leg like the following picture.. http://static.freepik.com/free-photo/karate-kick-clip-art_419307.jpg .. I can feel some tenderness/pulling in my left glute. Sometimes in the morning it almost feels like there is a snag somewhere in that area if I try to move my left leg forward and out at the same time. Every now and then I can get this to pop/unsnag if I move it at just the right angle and the pain subsides for a little bit. I'm assuming this probably isn't a good thing to do. Any suggested stretches for that one? Again, this is only my left hip/glute so it's different from my squatting pain. | ||

Pediatrician and athletic trainers have no training in the stuff I'm talking about.... -_- | ||

That's just an extreme version... you want to move it back as far as you get a stretch in your quads. Then do the hip flexor stretch so you hit both the rectus femoris and iliopsoas. For the other issue that doesn't sound good if it's snagging and uncatching as that might be your hip labrum or other tissues catching. Try loosening up your glutes with a tennis ball, especially your glute medius, and TFL area that can often get tight. | ||

I would aim for about 15-20 minutes every 3-4 hours or so or if it starts to tighten up when you're doing things. Been massaging a lot without much progress. I'm thinking dips/deadlifts and overhead press is messing it up. I will take one week without anything taxing for the wrist. Might go to a physiotherapist if it doesn't stop soon. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + 1. Google a pic and mark where it hurts. Its hard to pin point an exact location, but its like the back top of my shoulder. I guess the acromion process is probably my best guess. 2. What exercises hurt? Which shoulder articulations hurt? Make sure you check both with passive motion and resistive/active motion. Bench press, Dumbell press, dumbell over the head while laying down (tricep extensions?), and the laying down on back and you like flap almost (forgot name) 3. What type of pain is it? Burning? Ache? Tingling? Sharp? Acheing mainly. Not constant but feels like an acheing pain when provoked. Maybe a little sharp with high weights. 4. What would you rate the pain at on a 0/10 scale? 0 being no pain, 10 being go to the emergency room. 5 when I went for my 2nd set of 170. Like a 2 when I just raise my arm diagonally to my back right. 5. Acute or chronic (chronic more than ~6-8 weeks)? What date was onset? How has the pain improved since the initial injury? Its been bugging my mainly with just tricep extensions for maybe 3-4 weeks. Was not really bothering me till I started benching today. It felt sore even on low weight warmup sets. 6. Have you been training through pain? If so, how long? Yes, I just did low weight high rep for tricep extensions. Maybe 3 weeks 7. How deep is the pain? Is it more superficial tissues? Or does it seem to be more inside or around the joint? Describe it. Id say closer to the surface. Hard to tell because the whole should feels some what sore when the pain is provoked. 8. What have you been doing for recovery purposes? Nothing 9. What seems to help? What seems to make it worse? Is it constant? Does it increase/decrease with certain activities? No idea maybe rest? Tricep work outs i guess. Nah only when I lift arm at certain angles. Yes 10. Check the tissue quality of the surrounding muscles. Which ones are tight? Which ones are tender? Is there any swelling? My neck muscle on my back feels kinda tight and a little sore. No noticeable swelling 11. How does it feel after exercise (if any)? How does it feel at the beginning of the day? How about the end of the day? Well it just happened more severly today so not really sure about any of these. But it doesnt hurt if im not doing anything. 12. Any previous injury history? Nah 13. How's your posture? Terrible 14. What is your current workout routine for that bodypart? Do you play any sports? Bench, barbell press, deadlift, squat, tricept extensions, pull downs, pull ups, dipps, rope pull downs, curling? idk just weight lifting 15. Any other information I should be aware of or that comes to mind that may help? I could fight through the pain so its not drop the weight hurting. I didnt tho | ||

Or does it seem to be more inside or around the joint? Describe it. Id say closer to the surface. Hard to tell because the whole should feels some what sore when the pain is provoked. 8. What have you been doing for recovery purposes? Nothing 9. What seems to help? What seems to make it worse? Is it constant? Does it increase/decrease with certain activities? No idea maybe rest? Tricep work outs i guess. Nah only when I lift arm at certain angles. Yes 10. Check the tissue quality of the surrounding muscles. Which ones are tight? Which ones are tender? Is there any swelling? My neck muscle on my back feels kinda tight and a little sore. No noticeable swelling 11. How does it feel after exercise (if any)? How does it feel at the beginning of the day? How about the end of the day? Well it just happened more severly today so not really sure about any of these. But it doesnt hurt if im not doing anything. 12. Any previous injury history? Nah 13. How's your posture? Terrible 14. What is your current workout routine for that bodypart? Do you play any sports? Bench, barbell press, deadlift, squat, tricept extensions, pull downs, pull ups, dipps, rope pull downs, curling? idk just weight lifting 15. Any other information I should be aware of or that comes to mind that may help? I could fight through the pain so its not drop the weight hurting. I didnt tho What arm angles hurt? Does ice help? I would think maybe something like possibly impingement or bursitis... both of which should heal a bit with rest. Impingement tends to have a painful arc so the angles that hurt will tell a bit more (like if you move your arm from down to overhead it will be non-painful, then painful, then get non-painful again). Could also be supraspinatus or something else. | ||

However, sometimes my right shoulder blade ( on my back) goes numb sometimes. Like its a weird feeling, cant describe it. Its a very uncomfortable feeling, and it especially happens if i am standing for a prolonged time. If the numbness comes, It feels pretty painful for me to lift my arm straight up. Any idea what this is? I think it might be a damaged nerve or something. Rib might be out of place or muscles too tight in an area. I would suggest getting it checked by a chiro or PT if it bothers you that much. Alternatively you can try a bunch of soft tissue work like foam rolling, tennis ball/lacrosse ball the tissues, etc. and see if that helps alleviate it | ||
