/fit/, I've a question. There are a lot of exercises I can do for my abdominal muscles, crunches, situps, oblique crunches etc.

Problem is a lot of them (shit, a lot of exercises period) require me to bend my knee back and forth from extended to pulled up. This is a real problem for me because a year ago I seriously fucked my knee somehow and didn't do anything about it. So there is an awful clicking/cracking noise in my knee every time I bend it so far. My muscles in the leg are also very weak, which probably causes the clicking my old therapist said.

I was in therapy doing leg stretches but wasn't very consistent. So I didn't make much progress. Should I continue with what exercises I remember, or request to go back to phys therapy to get this worked out?

Is the clicking/cracking painful? Some joint noise is normal with age.

If you have access to a PT, take advantage of it.

I have a similar problem, my solution was to slowly restrengthen the leg muscles that support the knees.
Lunges, leg press and the such. Just be cautious of the knees and don't over exert them ^^; gl!

Did you try that water walking stuff? Doing exercise in water lowers the impact a lot, but still builds leg muscle. Maybe that would help with the knee problem :I.

you might have done something to the maniscus (sp?) i fucked that up, and there was a lot of clicking and popping. get it checked out some more, because therapy doesnt help all that much, and working it will hurt it more.

Why yes. Yes it is. I don't feel like much has changed for the better, so chances are it doesn't look any better.

It can be painful depending on what angle my knee is at when it cracks, but generally only hurts if it cracks when I'm say, kneeling for too long.

If you did this, what did you do to fix it? Surgery of some sort? In the month and a half of therapy I never once felt like I was doing better.

I have had a couple of friends who have torn the meniscus, one of which also tore his ACL on top of that, and they both required surgery. Judging from their experience, you will probably require surgery to get better, but it all really depends on what the problem actually is. Hope it doesn't need surgery.
