Question about knee pain?
i have been having really bad knee pain for a while now. i think i might have tendonitis in my knee, but i'm not sure. my mom won't take me to the doctor. i don't know i just want the pain to go away. i think i might of hurt it tumbling. its pops or cracks constantly and i have pain right below my knee also. theres no swelling or bruising though. it just hurts when i move it certain ways. i have been wearing an elastic bandage over it for the past month, it has helped some but not a lot. any other ideas on what i can do or what it might be, besides wearing an elastic bandage.
MRI of Knee Questions?
No they will take your sock of in most cases. The room isn't too terribly cold but it seems like it takes forever, my back and butt were hurting very bad by the time it was over, seems like it took 25 minutes or so of you laying completely still on a flat board, no sneezing, coughing, nothing. I didn't need contrast so I can't answer that.
Question about my knee?
yesterday at work I had to lift something really heavy and my knee hurt immediately. I could barely walk on it for a few minutes. It hurt for about 10 minutes after and was very hard to walk on. Today I woke up and I didn't notice any pain so I went for my weekend run. I did about 7 miles and then my knee started hurting. I walked for a bit and tried to run again, but it hurt. So I walked a little more and then started running, but I could only go a short distance before it would start to hurt. I've got a marathon in about 2 weeks and I don't want to injure anything so I ended up walking about 2 miles back to my car with no problem. I went home, took a shower and laid down for about an hour with an ice pack on it and took an 800mg ibuprofen. I seemed like it wasn't hurting, but when I got up I could barely walk. It doesn't hurt to put weight on, it seems like it hurts when I extend my leg straight when I walk. I put ice on it again a while later and it seemed like it started hurting again right after icing. Anyone have any thoughts on what could have happened with my knee?
Question on Knee Issue and MEPS?
If you are honest and if something goes wrong...you are alright. If you try to deceive and then if something goes wrong....well it all goes down hill. You can get compensation from the VA if a preexisting condition was aggravated by the service. My advice is to be honest and that way your covered.

Any ideas on what is problem with my knee?
The answer above is right, X-rays dont show much, just the bones. You may have problems with your meniscus, tendons or ligaments. But from what it sounds like you may have an over use syndrome. Your Quadracips have gotten too strong and your hamstrings may be weaker, causing you pain. Stay off the eliptical trainer for a while and try doing upper body exercises for the next 2-3 weeks, Dont do any running or jogging either. If the pain persists and does not get any better then go see an othropedic surgeon and ask for MRI
