ahh ok ty

if i touch it it will hurt and if i take my weight off leg it will hurt

listen to me.

explain the entire situation to me.

If you insist on being brief with me and not giving me the whole story I won't be able to help you.

you need a girl mate.

in terms of running

i competitively run 1 and 2 mile for the school track season.

over the summer i have x2 2.5 mile, x2 5 mile, and x1 7.5 mile.
All separate running routes I've measured out, etc.

At the beginning of this summer (Around end of april, beginning of may), I partially tore & stretched my ACL.
I also had a minor lateral meniscus tear.

Now, 4 months later roughly, all that's left is some minor tendonosis (Not tendonitis, it really is osis), in my left Patella Tendon. (This is all on my left knee, mind you.)


I can run just fine, but if it seems like the better in shape I am, the more it hurts when I run.

Anything I can do to help this?

I'm in pain there :



After I'll have done heavy-close grip bench press, or after squatting and that I had to support the bar with my hands for a while so that it does not slide, I will feel a small pain in that area.

But 2-3-4 days after, it is getting worst. I can't even position my hands to do a push-up right now.

But tomorrow or in 2 days the pain will completly be gone..Needless to say I'm not close-grip benching right now, but I still squat and I never let the bar slip on purpose.
What could this be?

Hmm...there are two approaches you can try.

1. strengthening the region through focused weight training (one leg exercises including leg extensions, leg curls, lunges, etc.) If you feel pain, reduce the weight and proceed. If you continue to feel pain with just bodyweight doing these exercises, stop doing them all together (at least temporarily).

2. rejuvenation method. Start by icing the area after each time you use it. This will encourage any swelling and irritation to slowly come to a stop. Icing should be done in standard 15 on 15 off methods for a total of 2-3 icing after each time of use. The next thing to try is a good joint support formula (this one is a longshot but worth a try) - get Universal Animal Flex packs and try these for a month and see if there is any improvement. Next, try Traumeel (oral drops and creme) 3x a day. Traumeel is an absolutely fantastic product (i was skeptical at first, but it really works after I've tried it for many things and with many people). If all of these approaches fail, you should see a chiropractor and see if they can do applied traction on you for several sessions - I have found a pretty high rate of success with this, especially in people that have had ACL problems.

THIS PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY COMMON. You are holding the bar incorrectly! The weight is transferring through your wrist rather than your hand and forearm. You need to keep your hands towards an IN-LINE position, where your wrists do NOT bend whatsoever! In addition, when you bring your hands in close for close-grip bench press, you also contort the wrists into an un natural position. Try to get them a tiny bit wider than you use presently to allievate this problem. In addition, try using harbinger gloves (the kind that come with the wrist supports) and use these for all pushing exercises. Tight wrist wraps will encourage proper form and good support for the wrists.

The LEFT side is INCORRECT - the RIGHT side is CORRECT

So you think there is nothing really to worry about...I almost broke my wrist once and it has been a bitch ever since..but now that I come to think of it...never have I been in pain except after I knew I had done something wrong :S

And you are right about the hands position ..that was more than likely the problem

yes nothing to worry about at all - just take the precautions that I have mentioned.
