Question: Hi ... I had a surgery on my knee due to cartilage defects on november 2015 and till now after the surgery and I can't still run .... and I cant land on my right knee when i jump because its still going to be painful, some Doctors checked and cant seems to find the problem after the results of MRI test on after surgery, I want to know if there is anyway you guys can help me because I really wanna start walking properly and running

pain when walking sometimes and when declining stair case I sometimes get almost twisted on my right leg like falling down

another doctor wrote me this, how true is this or what do you think ?

The results of two MRI show somewhat different areas of concern.

The earlier MRI mainly showed a defect in medial femoral condyle which which seems to have been filled up by cartilage repair .Some edema in underlying bone still persists and may be causing the pain to an extent.

The new MRI shows changes of moderate patello femoral arthritis and that may be responsible for your present pain.

Greater stress is placed on patello femoral compartment when using stairs and that may be responsible for the problem while using stairs.

Therefore though surgery seems to have worked the newer degenerative changes may be causing symptoms.

Therefore you may be helped to some extent by using supplements like glucosamine and rosehip extract.

There is no curative treatment of osteoarthritis as degeneration cannot be reversed.

Having regular exercise to strengthen the muscles controlling motion about knee namely quadriceps, hamstrings would also help.

Feel free to ask any follow up questions .

If not , do remember to rate my answer as this is the only way we get assessed and paid for our work and time on this website.



As per the newton's law " every action has equal and opposite reaction".Therefore when you run on a hard surface like a road the knees are subjected to a much greater stress because every time your foot hits the road the hard surface rather than dissipating that force sends that force back through your knee.On the other hand the treadmill absorbs a part of the force on every impact.

Your knee is not in it's prime.It shows changes of ostaoarthritis which is also known as degenerative joint disease.You have to accept that fact and modify your activity accordingly.

If you do not do that your knee is going to have a shorter natural life than it should have otherwise.

I understand that this may not be what you expected to hear from me but I have to tell you complete truth and be ethical in my answer.I hope you would not hold that against me while rating the answer.
