Something wrong with leg....

Post by DramaJones »

I don't know if it was because it was first time trying these sit ups....but, Mmm well i don't know what the are called...The leg rise crunches i guess...anyways i was lifting leg up and down to work abs. I noticed this popping feeling in left thigh. Take note in the end of the summer i poped knee sometype of way playing basketball...the doctor said nothing was broken or torn...but til this day i still feel pain in left knee...can anybody help me with this problem.

Hi there!

I agree with Swans... If you're feeling pain just doing simple leg lifts, or if you've been feeling consistant pain since summer, then you might have some kind of injury there that needs to be checked out. No doctor is perfect... it could be that your doctor missed or overlooked your injury. If i were you I'd go to another doctor for a second opinion. If it is an injury you really don't want to make it worse. ;)

Hope this helps!

You're going to have to leave the situation alone and get a consultation.

It's possible you might have some kind of mild hypermobility, which could mean the joint might "sublux", and as a result would be partially dislocating.

You might need to see an Orthopedist, (Bone specialist), if a regular Doctor can't help you, and if it is related to a Bone problem.

Thanks for the help...It turns out i posted this thread too earily...I tryed to workout again i didn't feel anything in leg. The pain i still feel in knee is a lil different. It's been there since i poped knee, i had ex rays on it be nothing was found. I told doctor about it again he told me to take some IB pills. I assume that maybe i still have water in knee. I can run and do sports...i just feel a pain when leg bends all the way back.

Leg raises can cause an injury to the abdominal rectus (the insertion of thigh to the groin). If this is where it hurts, let us know as there is a simple treatment for this ailment.
