Bike Accidents/Knee Problems

Has anyone on here suffered a bike crash where they have badly injured there knee joints?

Some of you know i decked my scooter into the back of a parked car. My knees went though the plastic legshields and bent the steel frame support behind that they and the front panel where attached to. I didnt break anything but my left knee joint swelled up immediatly. Went home after the accident and it was just sore. My right knee was too but it didnt swell like the left one.

Next day i got out of bed and fell flat on the floor , couldnt walk, my knees just couldnt take my wait, made me feel sick from the pain.

Went down hospital had like a inch long crack in my lower left leg, in plaster for a week. After i had the plaster off i could walk okay with a limp.

Had weeks of physio that didnt do anything to help it.

This was back in september 2002.

They still playing me up, today they ache and my feet feel numb ive got pins and needles. the left one is worse than the right.

When i walk, if i tense the muscle in the left one it makes a sickening clunk noise. It clicks if bend it.

I keep going back to the doctors but they give me painkillers its pissing me off.

Has anyone suffered knee injurys?

Does anyone know what could be wrong?

Thanks

Yes to: I have suffered from knee injuries

My knee made a nice impression on the concrete known as the road.

I have walked with a limp ever since(although it got better and now it's back to how it was) I have the same problem as you.

I found out a few weeks back after an operation that I have ruptured my cruciate ligament and there is some other damage which is permanent.

Ask the doctor to send you for an scan on your knee(mri? can't remember the name of it)

When I had my crash in 96, my brake lever went into my right knee! It was bleeding for a week!!!! The nurse had to pack it each day. My left was full of gravel too.

Now when it cold i gets stiff and aches, sometimes I have to wear a knee suport, and it clicks alot.

Cant do much though! And don't have any feeling in my knees now!

'Stepped' off me CBR6 at 140 few years ago...
Amongst the injuries, snapped me left midline cruciate ligaments.

It's not repairable so I just have to do physio excerices for rest of life and limp in cold/damp weather! Sad

Yeah I got a couplea problems with my knees they always seem to hurt/click just from changing gears or using the rear brake after a while etc.

Haven't had a crash but reckon my pain is from football injuries. Rolling Eyes

I hope mine gets better, im only 17 i got a whole life ahead of me like, and its just uncomfortable to walk. Ive just been up mates on a pushbike and had to stop twice cause it feels like they are throbbing.

Im going back to the doctors in a few days, if he carrys on fobbing me off with more painkillers (i dont need to be on painkillers at my age) then ill go up the hospital and see the physio woman and see the specialist.

I was 16 at the time of my accident. I am 23 now and still get problems with my knees and back. My back is the worst as I tore, all of the muscles that support the base of the spine!

I couldnt walk prob for 6 months.

Its the problem with bikes, there all fun and fast etc but you have no protection and your body take the full blow in a accident unlike in a car.

I see all the younbg scooter boys i ride with that have been on the road about 3 or 4 weeks and some of the things they do make me cringe, overtaking cars on blind bends, riding right up the arse of a car etc

Thanks a lot for that!

I never injured my back.

The other problems are is that i cannot squat down, if i do and stand up i get a sharp pain.

If i lie on my front and bend it it clicks.

If i stand up put all my weight on it and wobble about on it it clicks for a few seconds then when i got to bend it or walk normally it lets off a massive clunking sound.

What im going to do is ring the specialist at the hospital who saw me before. Tell him i been to the doctors but he isnt bothered.

i remeber te last time i saw the specialist he said i might have to have the camera inside it!

im not bothered what they do to it , as long as i can walk normally and i cant feel no knocking clinkin and clunking and no pain now and again ill be happy!

Cheers again

you cna actually see my knee sticks out more than it should if you compare it to my normal knee, i can't kneel down on my knee cos it pushes against the bone and feels bruised, had that for years now, but recent crash made it feel worse, although it's back to *normal* now
