dtstiachi Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I have noticed a very sharp pain in my left knee area when I lie on my left side on that leg. This started happening last Dec. after I finished posting (or Zhuan Zhang training) It has only happened 2 times since then, but the pain was enough to lift me out of bed. I am slightly confused about the pain because my knee doesn't hurt at all except when I lie on that one side that one particular way. I can run, kick, do Tai Chi, spar, lift weights etc, and my knee doesn't bother me. Only when I lie on my left side at a certian time does it bother me. Any ideas or helpful tips would be appreciated. If the condition gets any worse, I am going to see a doctor, but it is so random and sparce I don't want to really blow a lot of money on it. i also don't want him to tell me I have to quit the Martial Arts. (*probably my biggest fear) My knee hasn't hurt for several weeks and I hope it stays that way. Any help or tips would be appreciated. Thank you.

fangshi Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Where in the knee is the pain ? When you are lying down is your lower back staight or curved ? Does the pain run down the leg or is it issolated to the knee . Is it pins and needle pain or different and how ? Do you notice any pain or discomfort in lower back or in the self that runs across the top of your gluteous ? Does it start when lying down or start earlier and get worse when you ly down ? Does ice and stretching help at all or do you just have to ride it out ? Let me know , I may be able to offer some advice but certainly not as good as a doctor . We are not so much individual beings as individual points of perception within one immense being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtstiachi Posted March 27, 2005 Author Share Posted March 27, 2005 the knee pain runs along the right side of my knee cap on my left leg. I think it is the nerve/tendon that connects something there. I am lying on my side with a straight or semistraight back. the pain is a very sharp pain that causes me to rise up out of bed. It only happens when I lie on my left side, and i has only happened 3 different times since Nov. I don't have any other specifics. I believe I hurt it while doing a Zuan Zhuang excercise (Posting) with my knee in an incorrect position. Any help will be appreciated. If it continues to bother me, I will see a doctor this summer, I just think that it is funny that it only happens very very sporatically. thanks for the help "The journey of a 1,000 miles starts with but a single step."
