Hello... for the past few years after I play tennis I could feel a slight discomfort on my knees.  It's hard to describe the discomfort pero the best way I can describe is: diba ung kotse may ball joints... kapag well lubricated sya smooth ung takbo pero pag kulang sa langis parang magaspang... ganon ung pakiramdan ko sa tuhod ko.  I tried changing my technique in my backhand pero walang improvement.

Nakuento ko eto sa isa kong opismate ko who happened to be a runner.  She mentioned that she takes supplements for her knees tapos she gave me the name of the supplements.  I made some research and I found out na bka osteoarthritis ung problem ko which is the wearing out of the normal smooth cartilage surfaces of the joints.  Siguro dahil sa kakatakbo ko sa tennis.

Ung name ng supplement is Glucosamine and Chondroitin.  Share ko lang in case meron sa inyo who has the same issue.  As always if it works on one person it doesnt mean it's going to work for everyone so feel free to do more research on this.

In my case, probably it was the body weight that's causing my knee problem, for now still I'm concentrating on losing weight.  From 195lbs down to 180lbs.... My target is 170 to 175lbs Grin Grin Grin

Baka napudpud na ang MENESCUS mo,(not  sure of the spelling)
Iwasan mo na muna ang hard court, and if possible you need some training to build some new muscles to support your knee. See the doctor or ask Oldskul he may advise you to eat BULALO.
My knee problem naman is getting better, I dont see the doctor anymore which once a month tinitira niya ang tuhod ko with injection for lubricant.
I've tried SEITAI, a manipulation of muscle system, and its working so far, kaya eto medyo bumabalik naman ako bumanat against sa mga juniors dito.

Knees! The bane of most athletes. I injured my knees in college which ended my basketball dreams. I used to get the fluid in my knees drained regularly. I couldn't even move without hearing creaking sounds. I stopped all physical activity for 3 years. My doctor, Dr. Delos Reyes advised against putting additional weight so as not to put too much stress. My ACL was also a problem.

Now I can run and move a little better but still fearful that I might re-injure my knees. Sad

Hi Ace!  Sorry to hear about your knees. It can be extremely frustrating to have the engine ready to go, but not have all the tires completely inflated with air.

Knee injuries are neither inevitable nor debilitating for runners. In fact, most knee pain is easily corrected if properly managed.

Pain around and sometimes behind the kneecap. One of the most common injuries among runners, runner's knee most often strikes as runners approach forty miles per week for the first time. Even after taking a few days off, the pain seems to come right back, sometimes even intensifying, after the first few miles of the next run. The pain often feels worst when running downhill or walking down stairs, and the knee is often stiff and sore after sitting down for long periods. You might hear a crunching or clicking sound when you bend or extend your knee.

The sure-fire test for runner's knee: sit down and put your leg out on a chair so that it's stretched out straight. Have a friend squeeze your leg just above the knee while pushing on the kneecap. She should push from the outside of the leg toward the center. At the same time, tighten your thigh muscle. If this is painful, you're looking at runner's knee.

This is an easily treatable injury with a little patience. First, relieve the pain by icing your knees immediately after running. You can use commercially available cold packs or simply put a wet towel in the freezer before you run. Wrap the cold packs around each knee for about fifteen minutes to bring down the swelling. Take an anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen or aspirin after running, too, but only with food and never before running. Before bed, put heating pads or warm wet towels on your knees for half an hour.

Stabilize your feet. Make sure you have the right kind of shoes for your foot type.

In combination with thigh-strengthening exercises, the foot supports are not enough to get rid of the injury, see a podiatrist about whether you might need orthotics.

Palagay ko alam ko ang sinasabi mo.  Ganyan din ang pakiramdam ng tuhod ko.  Note: tuhod dahil pareho.  Kung isa lang - onehod.   Grin

Sa akin, ang description ko ay parang brakes.  Kapag pudpod na yung brake pads at metal to metal na, ganoon ang pakiramdam.  In fact, kapag fine-flex ko yung tuhod ko merong parang grinding sound.  Palagay ko, gaya ng brake pads, wear and tear na yan.  Sinubukan ko rin yung Glucosamine pero halos walang effect sa aking.  I think okay lang yon kung hindi ka pa "metal to metal".  Ngayon, sinisigurado ko na lang na maging sensitive sa tuhod ko.  Oras na meron akong maramdaman, kahit na konti lang, nag susuot ako kaagad ng Knee support.  Ang ginagamit ko recently ay yung Cho Pat.  Nakakatulong naman at mas gusto ko ito dahil hindi kasing restrictive ng normal na knee support.

madalas mag-reseta ung rehab doc ko ng arcoxia sa mga ka-tennis ko. ang alam ko kasi pang-gout un..
ako naman, sometimes i feel uncomfortable with me knee. minsan nag-brace din ako. baka rin sa wear and tear. taas ko kasi lumundag nung teens pa ako. w/ a ht of 5'7" - nakaka-dunk ako  Grin sa basketball. pero meron binigay na exercise sa akin si doc. it might help you strengthen your knee. and it goes like this:

1. stand with both feet and put your both hands on your hips, if it's hard to balance- lean on a wall.
2. to strengthen your left knee- fixed your left foot in that position
3. start pointing your rt foot in front of you (at least 1') and return it to orig position. MAKE SURE YOU BEND YOUR LEFT KNEE WHILE POINTING.
4. then point it slightly to the rt (at least 45degrees)and return
5. then do it again to your right side (90deg), back sides (135deg & 180deg)
6. that's 1 count. i'm sure you can't complete 20 reps in i try.
7. do 10 1st, then the other knee naman.
8. try this matrix, your knee will feel different after.

also, this is just a suggestion, not a cure (parang waiver  Grin)

strengthening the knees is always the best way to deal with such problems..
tama yung suggestions ni smiley..

ako rin, may patellar tendenitis ako, nakuha ko sa badminton..
pwede ring gawin to:

habang nakahiga (pwede ring nkaupo), put a folded towel or pillow under your knees (or back of your knees) then press down and hold it for 10 sec, 10 repetitions. the more, the better.

maganda rin yung stationary bike, just gradually increase the resistance/weight. mas ok din kasi yun dahil less or zero yung impact sa knee joints.

I also have a problem, with my right knee...kapag ginagalaw, parang nag-grind sya, parang may nadi-dislocate sa loob, minsan let say im standing, hindi ko mai-tayo ng tuwid, parang nagla-lock then masakit talaga pag pinipilit ko ituwid, need ko igalaw-galaw or i-bend ng paulit-ulit para mwala sa pagkaka-dislocate...asar tuloy minsan pag naglalaro minsan hirap igalaw, masakit din kasi pag nag-stuck sya, nakaka-wala din ng concentration kasi iniisip ko baka pag hakbang ko ma-dislocate din...ano kaya cure dun? I hate to think na some sort of operation ang cure, hopefully there are medicines lang na I can take.

try mo mapa-check or Xray or mapa MIR cya. dun makita kung may loose na muscles or meron na-apektuhan na litid. it's better to have it check now so you'll know your next move. a 2nd opinion will also do good.

many thanks for the advice Smiley.
hesitant lang talaga me magpa doctor but I know that's the right thing to do before something worstens.
hindi ko sure kung san ko nakuha, sa right knee lang naman, maybe because of my motorcycle accident about 3yrs ago (my knee problem started about 2years ago), or maybe because lack of warm-up nung mga times na nagpapa drills pa me in tennis almost everyday.

Hello... for the past few years after I play tennis I could feel a slight discomfort on my knees.  It's hard to describe the discomfort pero the best way I can describe is: diba ung kotse may ball joints... kapag well lubricated sya smooth ung takbo pero pag kulang sa langis parang magaspang... ganon ung pakiramdan ko sa tuhod ko.  I tried changing my technique in my backhand pero walang improvement.

Nakuento ko eto sa isa kong opismate ko who happened to be a runner.  She mentioned that she takes supplements for her knees tapos she gave me the name of the supplements.  I made some research and I found out na bka osteoarthritis ung problem ko which is the wearing out of the normal smooth cartilage surfaces of the joints.  Siguro dahil sa kakatakbo ko sa tennis.

Arthro yata brand ng supplement kaya lang bka paatras din ang maging takbo gaya sa patalastas Grin..joke Grin seriously, tingin ko makakatulong cya
