I had to have a fasciotomy due to compartmental swelling to save my leg. So I don't know how many sutures you have.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H11D796 (not until a week after suture removal.) Otherwise I kept pressure with a long long ace bandage securely wrapped.
Best of luck man, it's a long road but we will get there.
How'd it happen?

I really cannot stress how important points 2 and 4 are. I have a lot of problems with my knees (right one mostly) having skied a lot of my life. Running makes them very sore and squats even sorer, so I have varied my training so I do a squat-to-bench now (rather than a full squat). I've basically come to accept I'll never be able to full-squat twice my body weight, but it's worth it to save my knees.
The knee supports I use are these - Neo G Medical Grade Open Patella and they are phenomenal. Best £35 I have ever spent, without hesitation or doubt. I used to squat 80kg but then I went to physio and he told me to stop. I did, stopped training legs heavy for a while (and instead did things like yoga, stretches, movement exercises and eccentric exercises), and when I finally felt I was ready to start training again, I was taking it very easy and squatting 30kg and gradually going up 2.5kg every 2 weeks. When I got the knee supports, I went straight up to 60kg (after testing them out and realising how supportive they were), and the following day I had no knee pain whatsoever. I recently climbed a tall mountain in England, wore them the entire way, and all my friends who run and play football complained of sore knees on the descent, and I had nothing. Bearing in mind I have chronic and resurfacing knee pain, I had no pain. I now use them when I climb, on leg day at the gym, during any cardio session, when I hike, everywhere. They are incredible. If you have any knee pain, joint clicking, soreness, ligament damage, tendon damage, problems with the joint, get knee supports. They will change your knees.
With regards to warm ups and stretches, pretty crucial too. There are a couple of exercises I do specific to my knee pain, but one of them is pretty universally good - an eccentric pistol-squat. Place your leg out in front of you, and squat down on one leg, holding on to a rail for support. Do it doucemo. Do it... very slowly. - I try and make each rep last 5 seconds. Once you hit the bottom, stand up carefully using both legs and pull yourself up using the bar. I do 2 sets of 15 twice every day (when I remember). I also would recommend not rotating the knee if you can help it. The knee bends backwards and forwards, not like a shoulder, wrist, ankle joint.
This is weird..
I went to a podiatrist for similar reasons -- car wreck caused tendons and ligament tears and I am trying to heal.
I was in a walking boot and they gave me a soft brace after.. all provided .. and I am bigger than you ....
They had to adjust the walking boot and add a piece in the front where the Velcro goes to help it be more comfortable.
This is the brace they put me in

This one has been a God send for me.

This could be due to how you're getting on the line. I used to get on like this guy when first starting out, at first alternating legs but eventually settling on the same leg. That led to a constant, mild pain every time I bent my knee. Now I sit start to get on the line and overtime the pain went away. Also try wearing a compression sleeve around your knee before getting on the line. That was a game changer for me! And if it ever gets really bad, this ice pack knee wrap will be your best friend.
If you're willing to invest in some back products.Here's a current list of what I have ordered and so far things are working for me.
Here's the list
This one is a miracle. Works wonders for me. I highly suggest this one.

This one definitely helps as well

I just ordered these two should have them Tuesday. Can't wait for that back brace. Giving that leg one a try as well, why not at this point.

I'm also going to pick up yoga as well. I believe these are great alternatives for avoiding surgery and medicine. I'm trying to stay away from the drugs as well.
Edit. Received the two last orders. The back brace also does wonders. Correcting your posture is definitely key to recovery. Not to sure about the compression wrap but going to give that a few more days before making a judgement.
I second the PT idea. A good PT can give you some really good stretches, preventative measures, etc...I went to one when I had ITBS and it helped quite a bit.
Also, depending on what the PT says (if it's IT-band related) you may consider trying an IT band strap.
Yeah the canvas is too thin. Unless you get some real hightops like Jordan 1's your aren't going to get any meaningful amount of support. I have an ankle brace I put on my ankle if it starts to hurt. This is the brace I have.
Depending on how tight you get it it can impact ankle motion, but it isnt enough to really affect how I skate. Plus you can wear whatever shoes you already have/like.
Bezüglich des Essen Problems: Nimm dir essen mit, koche was unkompliziertes vor (Vollkorn Reis, Bulgur, Vollkorn Nudeln o.ä.). Morgens kannst du dann roh Gemüse drauf hauen (Tomaten, Paprika, Gurken, Blattsalat, Karotte etc) und nimmst noch etwas Obst mit, fertig.

Glad you found something that helps. Does it help against kneecap dislocation? (I've had too many to count)
I like my compression sleeves I had when pregnant. They are for working out.
I wear half crew socks, they come up just past the top of the boot. I also tend not to lace the boot all the way up for more flexibility. If I do want to lace them all the way up, I flex my toes towards my shin while I lace them up, so I know I'll be able to get some flexibility in my ankles. I also just got [these] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0791SG9BX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_cFO4AbFZQ4960) to prevent some ankle chafing. Haven't had a chance to really test them out, but I'm impressed so far.

Stoic's pretty good and well priced ($65) for the stiffer type of knee sleeves (for competitive powerlifters) and my general recommendation. https://www.amazon.com/Stoic-Knee-Sleeves-Powerlifting-Bodybuilding/dp/B01A2JF53K/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1542426731&sr=8-3&keywords=stoic+sleeves
SBDs are overpriced ($83 + shipping), plus they changed supply chain a few years ago. STrong sleeves($80) are okay, mostly marketing from Mark Bell.
Rehbands were the OG knee sleeves($40 ea, buy separately), but you can get generic alternatives (nordic lifting) cheaper now. These are less supportive, but overall still good at $40. https://www.amazon.com/Nordic-Lifting-Compression-Neoprene-XX-Large/dp/B01MTB9192/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1542426861&sr=8-6&keywords=stoic+sleeves
I got a pair of sock sleeve things with an integrated gel pad. I used it for a similar thing on my heel, but it worked great. It might help, try it out.
Here, this one is designed for that, i think:

My husband had ACL repair with hamstring graft and about 50% of his miniscus removed. This is information provided from when I was caretaking.
We got ice packs from amazon that conform to your knee, we got two so we could switch them out. These are what we purchased and they have been great. Stay cold for about half an hour, refreeze pretty quickly so by switching them out they stayed cold and were ready for the next hour quickly.
We also used a cryocuff which is a cooler of ice and a water brace that he wrapped around his knee, took cold water from the cooler into the brace, then when water got warm we would put it back in the cooler and swish it around then refill the brace. That was good and because it wasn't as cold as the ice pack we could keep it on for a long time.
DO YOUR EXERCISES. Seriously. The dr had us doing leg lifts, heel slides (sit on the ground and slide your heel towards your butt as far as you can go), ankle pumps, and set his foot on a pillow with nothing under the knee so it gets as extended as possible. He was really good with his exercises and his recovery has been super duper.
His schedule the first few days was 20 minutes icing, 20 minutes elevation (get that knee up HIGH, you lay flat on your back and get your leg up at a 45° angle, make a ramp of pillows from butt to foot), then 20 minutes exercises. Repeat allll dayyyy longggg. He watched a lot of Hulu and Netflix.
Try and write yourself a schedule for pain meds. He was taking one oxy pill every 6 hours so on the days I was at work I wrote down and set alarms on his phone for what time to take the pills. Have small snacks to eat with the pills so it is easier on your belly. Pudding packs, applesauce, crackers, etc.
We are a month out now and he is down to 1600 mg of ibuprofen a day and that is more for swelling than pain. He is icing about 3/day. He stopped taking the oxy about 5 days out because it made him very nauseous, so for pain we alternated ibuprofen and tylenol.
To sleep he was on his back, a pillow ramp from his butt to foot to keep his leg slightly elevated. We had to use two different blankets because his high leg took too much of mine.
Make a "home base" for yourself with snacks, phone charger, water bottle, pills all in reaching distance so the only reason you have to move is to go to the bathroom.
Speaking of bathroom take stool softeners, drink lots of water, eat lots of fruit and veggies. Start taking them now, keep taking them until you've been off the hard meds for a few days. Pain meds plug your butt up.
If they can give you anti nausea meds those help too because the pain pills can make you nauseous and that is no fun.
He has been walking off crutches for about 2 weeks. Currently he is able to bike flat stretches and take easy easy hikes. But each individuals recovery is so so so different and you need to be patient with yourself, try not to compare. He wore the brace 24-7 for a week, then only when he was out and about or around jumpy dogs, and now he is to no brace.
I use this from time to time. Holds up well.
Rehband Knee Support, Core Line (Small) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000Y8KF4E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_xW4Oyb9VEGB3S
This strap has worked wonders for me
I need this to help with my runner's knee. :) It has been difficult for me to go on runs lately because of it being sore and stiff.
Thank you so much for the contest!
I'm 10 years since my last surgery (ACL & meniscus) and still have swelling sometimes and stiffness and pain often. I'd suggest to keep doing PT as much as possible. Try some different ones if you can. Some are much better than others and different techniques could provide relief and help.
I really like this sleeve when I'm doing sports http://www.amazon.com/Bauerfeind-GenuTrain-Knee-Support-Black/dp/B0053VDUEY. it's not cheap but it's German and high quality, and I have a couple of these to wear everyday and keep the knee warm and compressed http://www.amazon.com/Rehband-Knee-Support-Core-Small/dp/B000Y8KF4E Make sure to actually measure to get the right size. These things are usually on the small side.
I don't have any actual advice on the tear, but I'm wondering if some compression contraption such as this would help ya with recovery and pain? I've used something like this for my right inner adductor when it acts up from a tear
I tore my ACL and have just had reconstructive surgery. However, before that surgery I had an arthroscopy (where they use key hole surgery to look inside your knee and clean it out without actually fixing anything). I recovered from this (still with a tore ACL) in about 2 months, and returned to almost 100% in 3 months. I was able to return back to playing tennis twice a week and skip when doing cardio at the gym. I also was able to squat/deadlift to my full potential while also in the gym.
(The only reason I had the reconstructive surgery is because im young and dont want it to affect me later).
Just give it time. I bought a cheap knee brace which I wore while playing tennis only and it worked fine. I also trained legs twice a week using PPL (6 days a week) while helped me strengthen my leg a lot with preparing for my latest surgery.
Hope you get back to playing soon!
I use this knee brace. Since the straps are adjustable, the brace stays in place and it keeps the patella tracking properly without much restriction.

This was fun, thanks!
I wear these ankle wraps as I've rolled both of my ankles quite a bit before (one pretty bad like you're describing). They limit your movement a little bit, but I've been in situations where I've rolled my ankle while wearing them, thinking it was going to be an injury, but I was totally fine. Something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Zenith-Ankle-Brace-Adjustable-Support/dp/B01LYQU9K4
Thanks, I went to the doctor about 18 months ago and custom inserts were suggested, but it calmed down significantly after I started school (I had been working at a hardware store, 8-10 hours of standing on concrete is no fun). Annoyingly, this semester I'm on my feet a lot more, and my feet are letting me know they're not happy.
Is this the type of splint you mean? Do you sleep with it? ^how?
Agreed on not giving it up. I had PF too. I actually succumbed to the cortisone shot eventually and rest, and the inflammation finally went away... but every so often I still get a little tight in the arches. Overly supportive shoes and orthodics weakens your foot's natural abilities. I decided to get into BF running after figuring I wasn't born with shoes, so my body must have the capacity to run on it's own, right?
I did heal all the way before I started BF running, though.
Other things that helped: this thing to stretch my foot (wear shoes in it) and this boot thing to sleep in.
have you tried anything like?
I have one bad knee and one really bad knee from years of dirt biking and snow skiing. For both sports I wear neoprene sleeves. The ones for dirt biking have metal bands in the sides and they really help. Paid about $40 a piece on Amazon.
My left ACL is completely gone and I don't need the giant metal braces for riding so if the doctor tells you have to have those, do your research. Some people can adapt depending on leg strength etc.
These ones; https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001M0A4HG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I've used these before: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B071H7RFQB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
An important thing to consider is that if you are going to wear sleeves, make sure you do it each time. This way your body gets used to playing with them. You should not wear them just when you are feeling sore.
Switching to wearing them some days and not on others could be worse than not wearing them at all.
Here is the mobile version of your link
I use these Ace bandages:
Also, like I said, these are to support the types of injuries that usually require SAR to be involved. You obviously want small items for things like blisters, cuts and stings that those guys don't usually deal with.
EDIT: Here's the link to that comment in the AMA with the search and rescue personnel.
I think I've started to develop patella issues in my old age and I originally bought these braces for skiing/snowboarding. I tweaked my knee a month or so ago and did several rolls in them while I was on the mend and they performed far better than I expected. They may not be the right support for a full dislocation, but they gave me good stability for my situation.
I currently use a futuro hinged brace but it’s a bit bulky and can be bothersome. I’ve heard people vouching for this brace, which I’m about to purchase https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01BJ3ZTKC/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_2?smid=A28HY9N5C261RL&psc=1
Yes! My friend recommended them after having a similar problem. I got these ones. I'm not sure if they're better or worse than others, but I'll be sure to post updates here and/or MFP after a couple of runs.
I just purchased the nature case because it was the thinnest available. Still waiting on my XL though.
These are the socks I got and These are the knee braces I got.
I would recommend them both. I usually wear them after long runs or speed work and they're fantastic.
Hill training always seems to get me injured so I stopped and just do general speed work. I'd get sore knees, IT Band pain, sore hips and would always need an extra day off and be in pain on stairs. I found some stretches here. I'd occasionally do them but also general rest or easy recovery running would be the best for me. I wear a strap when it feels a bit tight. I think part of my problem is the road camber since I get it on my left side only occasionally.
Sounds like you have it pretty bad.
Wow, your story is very similar to mine. A few weeks ago, I started having pain in my left knee. Took a week off, got a knee brace, wore it on my next run. That helped some. Was able to do week 4 without the brace and with little to no knee pain. I just attempted W5D1 (2x22) and the pain came back. I wasn't able to finish. Plus my right shin/calf was hurting as well, similar to what you described.
It seems like this B210K program has really been killing my legs, whereas they were pretty much fine throughout C25K. I've also been generally slower since finishing C25K. Maybe we need to do some strength training to strengthen our legs. But yeah, definitely take a week or two off, then maybe wear a knee brace when you start running again just to be safe (I got this one). Make sure you wear it for more than one run too (I was stupid and only wore it once).
I would go to the doctor, but I can't afford it. You should if you can though.
Stoic knee sleeves by a mile. Cheaper than SBDs and great quality for the price you pay.

Edit: realized they’re at $65 now dam I got them at $49.99
My knees are pretty jacked from playing football (soccer for American folk) for 15 years, so ache and just hurt in any type of rubber guard-esc position (knee bent not necessarily rubber guard). I've been using [these] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/NEO-Open-Knee-Support-rehabilitation/dp/B001M04WVK/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1519725737&sr=8-1&keywords=neo+g+knee+supports) for a few years now
I can't help with most of this but I might be able to help with the knee. Whatever might have happened to it, you might need to 'fortify' it by working out the supporting muscles around the knee. This takes pressure off it. You'll most likely need to do the exercise consistently (every other day).
The workout is this but turn whichever foot you're lifting towards the floor. Lift your leg to a comfortable height and bring it down to the point your toe touches your other foot and repeat until your leg starts to fatigue (should only be about 20-50 times depending on weight and ability). Make sure you roll over on your other side and do the same to the other leg even if the other knee doesn't bother you, it's important to keep them equal. Wait two minutes after each set for each leg and do it again. Like I said, do this every other day and work your way up to 100, or add a 5lb weight and do less reps. You shouldn't need to go beyond 100 reps/5lb weight, but your results could vary depending on what happened to your knee and other factors. You might feel relief within two-three weeks, but if you stop the pain will likely come back so you have to keep up with it.
Another, less lasting, option is a knee strap like this. It will likely only work when you wear it, and may not help in all situations you may need it in, like working the knee out will. You can wear it above or below the knee, but I believe it just helps take pressure off the knee.

if you want a pair to use during other activities I would get a second pair similar to the Hookgrip knee sleeves. the hook grip ones can be pricey but there are cheaper versions on amazon.

I've never had shin splints while skating, but I used to get them a lot while running.
What I found took care of them was:
Good luck! Shin splints suck and are incredibly frustrating.
What kind of graft did you have?
Tore my left ACL, had the patella graft, then did physical therapy for over a year. Built it up on my own for a while, then finally felt ready to train Muay Thai. I trained hard at a gym that focuses more on fight training than just plain "teaching", so I put it through it's paces.
It was my left/lead leg, so it took more damage to the thigh from kicks than anything. Although, honestly, when it came to knees & kicks, I did baby it a bit, just to be safe, but had no problem training. You should definitely invest in a knee brace of some sort. I have something similar to this, but older... might upgrade actually (this one looks really nice).

> r anything at all, I don't know why anyone would think it'd be somehow inappropriate for a non-Japanese woman to wear shorts. I wear shorts and skirts all the time because Tokyo is a humid hellhole.
> Low cut shirts, v-necks or promine
I walked in Nike Free 5.0's + [plantar fasciitis inserts] (http://www.amazon.com/Airplus-Plantar-Fasciitis-Orthotic-Insole/dp/B00HWNIQZE/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1467608638&sr=1-1&keywords=plantar+fasciitis+air+plus)
Usually covered about 8-12 miles a day. No foot pain... back pain was another story. If you're going to be walking definitely recommend some comfy sneakers and some inserts go a long way. I did not see anyone in Tokyo wearing flip flops to be honest.
Re: shorts, I didn't wear them and I didn't see many locals wearing them. Most women in Toyko favor breezy gaucho pants, dresses, or longer skirts. I think knee length shorts are okay though. I personally liked [loose crops] (http://shop.lululemon.com/p/women-crops/For-Love-Crop/_/prod1960017?rcnt=17&N=7yr&cnt=31&color=LW6HDXS_013612) and [joggers] (http://shop.lululemon.com/p/women-crops/Jet-Crop-Slim-Luxtreme/_/prod5020087?rcnt=2&N=8c0&cnt=22&color=LW6HA9S_024894)... the reason I linked Lululemon is because they are breathable. This is of the utmost importance!
If you want to cheat you can buy tights at Daiso for $1 and wear those under short dresses or shorts. This is how women in Tokyo get away with wearing shorter lengths. If you wear a dress with tights, it is very nice to help you stay cool but not look inappropriate.
I would suggest you start with something cheap. I use this one when I am not exercising http://www.amazon.com/ACE-Knee-Brace-Dual-Stabilizers/dp/B005YU8SVE/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1409062782&sr=8-4&keywords=knee+brace

This one
Cool, thank you. That ace brace looks tempting. I already have these and they do a decent job, but sometimes I feel like I need more. (Like right now my patellas are moving/grinding an awful lot due to all my physical activity.)
​
That link you provided talked only about wearing braces when doing sports. I don't do sports but I feel like they are useful when cleaning the house or going out to places where I will be walking a lot (so, not out to dinner, but out to a shop or a park / nature area).

When do you use yours?

I just made a post about this in the Major-Junior thread, but I've been doing a lot of powerlifting routines lately. (Currently doing the Texas Method).
Let me preface this with some information about me. I'm 25 years old now, and hurt my knee back in 2012, pretty severely. I had an extreme case of patellar tendonitis, and it affected me so badly that at one point I was reliant on a cane to walk. I've had three knee surgeries with the first two being unsuccessful as the cause of the problem went undiagnosed. The third surgery found the issue with my patella having extra connective tissue which was throwing it off track and putting extreme stress on my patellar tendon.
I had that third surgery in July, and started to play college club hockey ~2-3 months later. I just hit new PRs today for 315 for 5 on squats, and 375 for 5 on deadlift. My knee still isn't 100%, and if I don't do enough it becomes incredibly difficult to push off that leg when skating/going up stairs.
The best advice I have is this:
The stronger I get, the less my knee hurts. Don't confuse complex leg workouts with effective ones. Once you get knee wraps or knee sleeves, start doing a good strength-training program. Starting strength works, and other simple workouts where it consists of mainly basic movements are incredibly effective. Avoid running if you want to skate well. Stadium/stairs are fine to run, as they are much lower impact than just hitting the pavement.

Also for everyone in here saying get a maxboost, get a tranium instead same case but cheaper.
The Nillikin nature is what you're looking for, I think.

Funny, I just got new Maxxums and am having the same issue... Intense pain on the right side. I can see a dark red imprint of the screw from the boot in my ankle. I just got these:
ZenToes Ankle Bone Protection Socks Malleolar Sleeves with Gel Pads for Boots, Skates, Splints, Braces - 1 Pair https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0791SG9BX?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
I haven't tried them yet but it's decent gel padding made specifically for this. There are many options online for this issue. I am super looking forward to skating totally carefree.
Had that too :-)
Last year before hiking I wore this sort of walking boot thing that stretches out your calf muscles, the logic being that since the fascia is all connected, by loosening it up you allow things to stretch more without inflaming. Something like this:

I had no PF problems last year, although I did break my foot and get off early because of that.
As flyboy23 said, it might be related to your patella. I have a similar issue from when I was a kid, and I use a patella band to alleviate the pain. It puts pressure on the tendon and seems to correct the placement of my kneecap and keep things running smooth. Here's a link to one on amazon.
I've found this strap to be very helpful with my ITBS.
