knee brace for baseball knee injury

Orthopedic Brace & Support Questions

I tore my medial meniscus in my right leg last summer while playing baseball. This is the knee that I plant with. I assume I tore it from swinging too hard and over rotating. After having it repaired the surgeon informed me I have a significant ACL tear. I was wondering if there was any type of knee brace I could wear that would prevent any further knee injuries. I am also supposed to wear ankle braces because my ankles pro-nate (turn out) and have over developed quads and underdeveloped hamstrings, which seems to add to the problem.

: How do I get rid of my love handels??????? Help my boyfriend will dump me if you don’t hurry!!!Doing leg lifts, which are when you go on all 4’s, and bend your leg to about a 40 degree angle and lift it up and down. Doing these for about 15 min. a day, consecuativly, will trim your love handles. p.s. personally, I think if your bf is going to dump you because you have love handles, you arn’t in a healthy relashionship. I’m sure you look fine the way you are!

Orthopedic Brace & Support Questions

I fell down the stairs a little over a week ago. I hit on my left side and along with several big bruises I had just a small amount of brusing on my back about the middle of the rib cage. I only had some minor swelling and soreness there until one week later when I was stretching in my car when I felt something pop and very painful about the heart area. When I would breathe it felt like bones rubbing together and I could only take tiny breaths. I wrapped with tight bandage and have worn for a couple of days now. I was able to remove bandage and now only have soreness in that area. I wonder if I should get an xray or just try to take it easy for a few more days? I have a white water rafting trip in two weeks and want to recoup asap!

i am 14 years old and I play football. I find that I can play football or any other sport for about an hour or so. then if I wait 30 mins my knee soon becomes stiff and becomes painful when running and I wont be able to run on it for the rest of the day. almost half of my football team have this injury and it isnt un common. I also had severs disease which is growing pains in ur ankles but I think they are better now. all the advice I have is to rest as much as possible and too ice as much as you can!

Orthopedic Brace & Support Questions

I got a small beebee sized lump on top of my foot a while back… The first night it was a little painful like a bruise. The next day the pain was gone but the lump flattened out wider… It has since gotten just a little bigger and some of the pain is back, mainly when I put my weight on that foot. I’m a little nervous, should I be?
