Knee Pain

xariusleloft:
This question is for a training partner of mine.

He was doing full squats one day when he said that it felt like a blade stabbed him on the inside of his knee. He was fully stretched and warmed up and on his fourth set, not including warm-up. THis was about four weeks ago and still to today he can't even do sissy squats without the blade like feeling coming back.

Does anyone have any ideas or experiences with a similiar injury? He doesn't have any health insurance so I told him I would see what replies I get here.

Thanks in advance.

Probably ruptured a Baker's cyst or ganglion.

xariusleloft:
What would be the proper rehab. for it? thanks.

Doc Savage:
If that's what happened (sounds like it) it will go away by itself.  Rest / ice / NSAIDS will help.  But presence of a cyst usually means a problem with the inside of the knee that may cause future problems.  These cysts usually recur unless the underlying problem (e.g., meniscal tear) is attended to.

xariusleloft:
COOL, THANKS.
