causes of knee pain

Edit Post

possible causes of knee pain 2 years post LL (internal femurs, retrogade)? Pain is killing me

Edit Post

How active where you during the last few years it’s possible it could just be vary stiff also how much and what segments did you lengthen

Edit Post

Who was your Doc? Knee pain ist more common after tibias lengthening I thought. I want also internal Femur. Sounds not good. Sorry to hear.

Edit Post

I had knee pain in my right knee, and I did internal femurs as well. In my experience, it had to do with hip misalignment caused by muscle imbalances from the aftermath of LL. My knee pain is pretty much gone, but my right hip is still raised a bit, so I'm strengthening my lip hip to hopefully correct this (x-rays confirmed this is the case, and my legs were confirmed to be the same length post LL). In many cases, knee pain is caused by week hips (gluteus medius muscles). If you can strengthen your hips/glute medius, you should see your knee pain reduced or go away eventually.

I have heard that some people end up with permanent knee pain from lengthening their femurs too much if their starting height/ankles are very short. Like, if you're 5'3" and lengthen femurs 8cm or more, you might end up with permanent knee pain/arthritis. But from speaking with Dr. R, cases like this are very rare.

Thanks guys. Idk what else to do. Pain is sooo bad now. I'm taking pills but they don't help.
@Yellowspike, I wasn't that short. I was 5'65. Now I'm 5'85 or 5'8 depending on the day (when I finished LL I was 5'9 but I lost height).  My ortho told me I will have arthritis soon. I'm worried. I will work on my gluteus to see if that helps.
@MrBlack, my doctor was Dr Monegal. I don't recommend him. Worst choice ever.
@MoonKnight, I have been active but unable to run and work out. Normal walking OK. Some days knee pain is very bad. I did only femurs.

Poor troll. How are you still allowed to post after:

5 banning for multiple account
Creating a fake diary with no evidence
Posting other patients private medical content
Disturbing genuine patients diaries
PM real patients with all your rubbish

Man you call me fake patient...difference is I can prove it and you don’t
Your obsession for Monegal is pathological

Warn readers this individual has never had surgery, never posted evidence and his only aim is to slander the guy who saved my leg. The. He will say I am either Monegal or that I work for him.
Same bull  as usual.

Individuals can make their points. Patients can write their diaries. But this pathological behavior should go back to ban because there are real and genuine patients here.
As for the mods they should consider permanent banning... just for posting private medical info from user MM. this is not just against the forum it is against law

Are the rods inside or are they removed? Unfortunately I've read that retrograde is linked with knee pain and it may or may not improve with removal. Perhaps physio and muscle building exercises might help as it did with me.

Thnx Microbe. Rods are out. Pain hasn't improved. I don't know what to do. I've visited other doctors and they don't have a solution for me. I'm trying some exercises Yellowspike recommended, but no improvement yet.

Can you please stay out of my threads Cinderella? You're a toxic FAKE Dr Monegal and/or staff. You should be banned.  I have many proofs of Dr Monegal's disasters and not only MM. She is the worst case in LL history, yes, but not your only bad case. There are also other patients here who post good things but aren't OK after many years for femur and tibia alike (misalignments, fractures, implant failure, nerve problems, permanent knee pain). I haven't posted their xrays and information because I respect MM and all my friends. They're your victims. Dr M, I know you're reading. You should improve your surgical skills, compensate patients for what you have done to them and not using this forum to fish new patients.
