Those videos must have cost the predatory health billing system millions in vague early exploratory consultations. Bravo! Too often people go to the Dr and because they have no idea about their own physiology can't describe coherently where they have pain and never end up with any concrete diagnosis or require loads of expensive additional exams to try and get additional information.

I see most of the treatments to knee pain are knee area strengthening...yup, I have been doing this for the past 6 months and my knees could not feel better.....you just have to dedicate yourself to regular exercises and they will be life changing.....it worked for me

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE CLARITY

best video on knees i have ever seen ! you are the man i was a downhill skier when i was young and did taekwondo for 40 years

Excellent, informative, video. Thank you.

this video helps me A LOT! Thanks doc!!

The best and most simple explanation for us to understand. Thank you Doctor Bellemans.

Excellent video. Thank you.

Thank you Dr. It is a relief to listen to a soothing and caring voice.

Very clear, very concise, wide-ranging info laid out in an easy-going style. Wish we saw this more often in health-related videos. Thanks.

Super helpful, thank you!

Thank you for your information it's very informative on how to recognize our situation to start with a treatment.

Great video havent even watched but this is exactly what I needed to see

An English version of your book would be fabulous.

Excellent advice

Great information!! Thank you

Fantastic video. Thank goodness none of your suggestions for therapy included knee replacement. Had my right knee replaced back in 2011. Works fine so far. I now have issues with my left knee, but at 73 years old I don’t want to do another knee replacement. Thanks.❤

Bedankt voor uw super goede/informatieve/interessante videos! heel handig als je overmorgen een examen hebt ;)

I got TKR in April. I am so glad that I did. I was tired of shots and gels.

excellent info thank you

Great video!

Great info thank you

Thank you!

Dr Bellemans, Your videos have greatly helped me with my knee. You are so skilled in anatomy and your detailed analysis and treatment recommendations are explained very well

I want to 👍your every video. You deserve so much more attention on KZfaq!

Love u doc! Thank u very much for this info.

Thank you. Thank you. Strengthened quidriceps and it worked. No pain at all. 😊

This information is heartbreaking and shortsighted. Not once was it contemplated that the root cause could be knotted muscles in the quad, calf, or hamstring which stretching and strengthening is unlikely to solve. The site of pain is certainly not always where the problem began.

Thank you so much for this video, Dr. Bellemans. Can you please make a video of best "strengthening exercise therapy" for patellofemoral syndrome/patellar tendinitis/quadracep tendinitis? Also best exercises for patellar endotorsion? I know I can search youtube for suggestions from other people, but I trust your knowledge more and want to be sure to do them correctly - would be very grateful. If you don't have time to do a video, then maybe a simple descriptive list? Thank you!!!

This novice finds this video to be stellar in all aspects of the production. Super helpful, subscribed, congratulations on your excellence & efficiency! This will definitely improve my understanding & communications with my Dr. & therapist moving forward.

I need one of these videos for the elbow!

Wow! I was recently terminated from my job after my knee 'injury', because they felt I was unable to perform my job duties, of course did not happen at work... but while awaiting my MRI I've been putting in my due diligence and researching possible causes. I would describe my symptoms 1st as a burning sensation in the inner/ lower portion of the knee, more recently becoming very painful to even walk. This video brought back memories I'd forgotten about having very high arches and years ago being told I had collapsing arches! I completely forgot all about it. I'm 55 and should be wearing good arch support shoes. Chiropractor told me 'don't compensate for what good shoes should be doing for you', as in buying arch supports for dumb shoes. Here I am quoting him after completely forgetting about this issue from more than...20 yrs ago? Thanks Prof Bellemans, I will take this information and proceed with knowledge!

Thank you so much ❤ Can you also provide similar knowledge for the shoulder and how to recover from the shoulder Dislocation and weak shoulder

Thank you. I had an impact trip and fall on concrete 3.5 years ago. I think I was incorrectly diagnosed as X-rays showed no breakage. I did six weeks of uninformed general strengthening, which led to me discontinuing treatment when exercises continued to cause pain. After six weeks, I was expecting some results. I lost 50 lbs, and at a very reasonable weight for my height. I still have knee pain, and take Pilates once a week to strengthen my core and legs. I don’t know what to ask if I go back to an Orthopedic doctor, but, I will study this video and try to pinpoint my pain so I will be able to discuss my pain and triggers with a new doctor. Squats have been very difficult where there was none before, even though I was overweight. Hopefully I at least have a tool to use to communicate what I need. Thanks again.

Thank u for this excellent video, yet what about pain due to osteoarthritis in knee joint , and different stages

I have pain behind my knee and also in the front. I've had an ACL repair many years ago and an arthroscopy more recently. I'm currently doing the GLAD program for knees and hips, which I hope will help. Hope to avoid surgery. Thanks for the video.

OMG thank you

Please make a video for hip joint

EXCELLENT

Thank🙏🙏you.

Great explanation, any exercise for quadriceps tendinitis ?

I watched this video to see what my knee pain could potentially be before my Dr's visit. Turns out an MRI concluded I had a lesion on my bone which caused my knee pain. They want to remove the damaged bone and replace it with cadaver bone. Oh joy.

Dr. Bellemans, could you cover back of the knee pain? I feel it as I come up off a squat or sitting position.

mine is definitely from body weight. Im doing these lunges and the instructos are telling me to go deeper and I just say no. I'm listening to my body and I dont want to damage it before I get back down to size. Thanks so much for this.

I was so hopeful that this video would give me correct terminology and help for my knee pain, which is behind my knee, but it wasn't covered.

Wow you are on point and cover all possibilities New subscriber for sure Does walking backwards help?

Hi, for prepatellar knee bursitis, acute , or chronic, which effective therapy modalities do you offer to reduce the synovial fluid and how? Thanks

Yeah thought so, I've always had tendinitis in my different joints

Well I have all the stuff years ago had a severe accident and a patella luxatie, now years later it’s getting worse I always have done exercises, it helped a lot. There are some things I may not do like jumping, biking and running, an operation is not an option because there is too much gone, a new knee replacement is not possible because there is not enough to keep it in place 😢😢😢

What do you recommend during an episode of inflammation please? Maybe better to avoid exercise until it gets better? Thanks

Do you have a video for shoulder

It looks that some people complain about not having their pain location listed here. Maybe they should listen again to what Dr. Bellemans said @0:30...

I could really use some help diagnosing what part of my knee is hurting. I have extreme pain when I bend my knee past 110° roughly(like sitting cross legged or squating deep) I also have pain if i over stretch -1° or further(i can go pretty far on my other leg). Very rarely my knee buckles a little backwards and it clicks sometimes when i turn sideways. It was caused by a sharp turn(not too much pressure or speed) when skiing, i did hear a pop when it happened too but was able to ski fine after for a week. It did swell a lot though.

I’m 15 with knee both of my knees I ran cross country for a a whole year for my high school and I started to have knee problems I think number three is what I have right in the middle

Wonder where this doctor is located. I sm pretty sure he can heal my knees

Thank you for this detailed video. My pain has a name: HOFFA SYNDROME!! I feel burning everyday.😢

im 15 and I have some knee pain. When I sleep less it flares up. Its not terrible. I think I might have runners knee or arthritis idk. Its around the bottom of the knee cap. It also goes away almost immediately when I do leg extensions and make the knee burn with excercise.

I've had several of these except for ligament damage. I don't understand why you don't suggest keeping the quads stretched to prevent patella issues or to de-stress the tendons to allow healing

Why nothing on the back of the knee

What about pain behind the knee, swelling etc. ?

Great videos! ..... but why non on pain coming from the back of the knee in the centre of the flexion point?

Is it possible to have two or three of the conditions that you listed? On both of my knees I have daily pain where my quads join my knee. I also have pain near the Hoffa fat pad on both knees but much worse on my left knee. Also, on both knees it hurts intensely to even touch the bone that sticks out slightly below my knee cap. This has been going on for over a year

10 mos. ago I injured my knee by slamming it down twice really hard, putting something in the ground. MRI showed complex meniscus tear, Baker's cyst, bone contusion & loose bodies. 6 mos. later I had surgery a partial meniscectomy & loose body removal. 4 mos. later it's better, but, still hurts. 3 wks. ago I hurt the other knee. I somehow twisted or put a lot of strain on the knee getting up from a low bench.. Extreme pain at times. 10/10. No arthritis in either knee, my DR was surprised, no swelling either time. I have not been to my ortho about this yet. My knee hurts in ALL the places you mentioned. I don't think it's the meniscus. Is there such a thing as all over pain? I am in denial as I cannot accept another injury, as I'm still dealing w/my first one. I've had it. I enjoyed the info, but, watched your video trying to figure out which section my pain is in. I say All of the Above.

I really need to see a physical therapist because every time i try strengthening my painful knees with following video exercises at home, they get so much worse. I have pain in like half of these places and im sure its because of my foot tending to be turning inwards and some strength issues.

Can anyone advise for a similar video on ankle pain? Thank you so much.

Yup that did it!!!

From the video I gather I get Tibiofubular joint pain, a piercing pain on the right knee outside or just below the knee. I get it after lot of hiking on hills. The pain is pronounced when you go down an elevation, even small elevation like 5 degrees, while going up it does not pain. What is the best way dealing with it? any exercises alleviate it? thanks

What about the pain at the back of the knee? I get one when i climb stairs by loading the heel. If i climb stairs with the load on fore/mid foot, there is no pain. Thoughts?

2:56 i literally had that asa an active young teen! Glad my hypothesis at the time was right lol, luckily it went away with age

I have pain above my kneecap due to chondromalacia and also bone ache at the lateral side on the femur. I don't know if it is due to IT band friction or because of the patellar tilt which I maybe aggravating with cycling. Maybe the IT band friction causes patellar tilt. I am only 52 kgs and 1.74m tall, 44 year old male.

Umm, why did you leave out ligament tears/strains like the MCL, ACL, etc.???

thanks doctor... now I know why did I suffered for years because number 8

What about knee giving in sometimes on the front but pain behind the knee & right below (the back of the knee) & just right above the back of the knee

Walking has been the best thing for my knees

I don’t really know what my pain would be considered, when I squat down and bend my legs it hurts when I get too deep on my right leg, then it really hurts if I push my foot/leg to the right at all. Still can walk perfectly fine and can bend it left just fine, anything would help.

I have normal xray, but have difficulty walking... What to do... Had check up yesterday I'm anxious so not yet take Danzedin 80k spu that's 2x a day. Help

I had a very strange event a month ago…I went to just sit on my bed and my knee kind of locked…it wasn’t dislocated as such but I could not move it even a millimeter up down or sideways…I was in absolute agony and I had to go to hospital in an ambulance…the pain was on the right side of my right knee…the pain relief didn’t even touch the sides…my leg had to be held straight out.,go to hospital and they took me to X-ray…with my whole leg supported…then suddenly just a quick as it came on it went back into place…X-ray showed nothing…the relief was instant and I felt 100 percent better…no one can figure out what happened…any ideas🙏🏻

Dr. I'm from India and I'm suffering from Hoffa Impingement (No.9 in this video) since January this year while playing Football...I also saw 2 doctors since then but the pain is not going away...I've to wear Knee Caps to do daily activities. Please Advise some exercises for this pain.

A bad clean gave me a miniscus tear that would lock the knee during sleep. Awful sensation. It generally worked fine all day and i could even squat without pain but full flexion would sometimes be impossible, other times the knee bent fine. It thankfully healed on its own after 6-8 months. (I guess it was minor).

Free😊

What about the back of the knee?

I dont know what is happening to my knee. I have random sharp and unexpected pains under my patella (started about 10 days ago). According to this video it could be ossgood syndrome. But can this syndrom be intermitent ? 99% of the time I'm fine and pain-free but all of a sudden I'd feel this awful stabing pain just behind the low part of my patella. I've noticed it happens mostly when I'm climbing upstairs or when I'm standing (typically when I'm quying at the supermarket cash point, or at the bank). I'm fine with walking and so on but I have sometimes (once or twice a day) this awful stabing pain and I dont know what to do about it. I'm asking here for the just in case one fellow youtuber could enlighten me about what it is ..

what about the back of the knee???

What about at the back of the knees? The MRI has shown a tiny tear in my cartilage and the pain is unbearable I can’t walk, in a wheelchair I keep thinking they’ve missed something

My knees hurt when I cross them or when Im making a rapid turn turning my knee outward, also when I Wake up in the morning or walk around alot, I feel tingling almost like my legs want to go numb but they don't. I don't know what to make of this.

Greetings Doctor, My left knee always pops whenever I perform squat. There is no pain associated with it. Is it something to get concerned about. I have had this since 8+ years. But now it's just more prominent. I'm 22

Well we are here because we can't get to see a doctor. Ive been phoning up for months and most times they dont even answer the phone but when they do ,there are no appointments and try again tomorrow.

What exercises a good for petellofemoral pain syndrome?

What if the pain is internal and not external?

I feel like I have 8 out of the 10 mentioned here. Heeelp! 😭

DR Bellemans i would like to visit your office plz reply i have sent numerous messages..

suffering with knee pain...has MRI to rule out meniscus tear, surgeon wrote in report I have no pain, which is incorrect, now lost as to what to do, surgeon not replying to my contact. My appointment with him lasted 5 minutes and not much hands on.

I normally encounter pain at the back of my knee whenever I ran, unfortunately you haven't touched on back knee pain

Glad I found this video. Shame on my primary care physician and my orthopedic doctor, they were unable to explain my problem. Most primary care physician are really dumb , they don't have any knowledge.

none of these are where mine hurts.

My knee pain alternates between these places day to day. I’ve suffered for a few years now. It goes away after a nights rest (if I don’t push myself through the pain). I’m 30 now so I hope I can solve the problem as soon as possible.

This guy doesn't mention increasing nutrients, which of course is the most effective course of action.

what about no pain but instead feels a bit swollen ?

Wait, so meniscus can heal on its own? Previous googling research i done say there's no blood for that part so it cant heal on its own most of the time?
