To add to my tale of woes I now know that my right knee issue I've been having is anterior cruciate ligament related. A physio I know formally (but not as a physio ) said it sounds like it, but without proper investigation can't say how bad. So appointment to book for the GP to see how bad it is what the NHS can do.
My knees both can hyper-extend anyway (as can some other joints), but my right tibia will pop forward a bit if I bend imy knee too much and then pop back when I start to straighten it. Any sideways/ twisting movement is painful. Tender and swollen either side of knee cap depending on the day.
I've suspected it was ACL for a while and been trying to avoid any aggravating stuff. Funnily though squats don't seem to make it bad even though I do full ones neither do deads and from what I've read should be good for it.
Found some exercise to do in the meantime to protect and strengthen it but has any one got any other advice?
Thanks in advance
