You have patellofemoral pain syndrome. This condition causes pain around or under the knee cap, which can spread to the side of the knee. It's often due to overuse, weak muscles, or improper knee-cap positioning. Exercises to strengthen leg muscles and supportive sports shoes can help. A key part of treatment is avoiding activities that worsen the pain.

My son was got hurt by car fall in his leg figure

Male | 3

I'M sorry to hear about your son's injury . First, stop any bleeding with gentle pressure.... Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.. Visit a doctor to rule out any broken bones. Follow any instructions for medication and rest. Avoid putting weight on the INJURED leg. MonitoR for signs of infection, like REDNESS or fever. Contact the doctor if symptoms worsen or persist....

Recently I started doing yoga again, and ive immediately been reminded why i stopped before. Basically some stretches feel fine, like once in the sides of my torso. But some other stretches i feel nothing at all, like if i put my soles together i can keep my knees fully on the floor and lie all the way forward and still feel absolutely no stretch, this is what most stretches feel like. But then some other stretches hurt WAYY to much, most importantly my hamstrings, i cannot lean even a bit forward with my legs straight and it already hurts like heck. I have no improvement in my hamstrings when doing more "gentle" yoga stretches, but then when i tried pushing myself a bit more in stretching my hamstrings, it would start hurting in my knees so much when i walked, almost like a pop or click with every step. Recently i considered the possibility of possibly being hypermobile, i can put my pinky fingers 90 degrees up, i can reach my wrists with my thumbs and i can do that thing where i lock my hands together behind my back and can put them over my head without letting go. I also get a strange uncomfortableness/awareness in my joints sometimes, not even a pain just uncomfortable. So basically my question is, do you think im hypermobile? and if so how (if possible) can i still do stretches/yoga without either feeling nothing or feeling intense pains? And is there any way i can get rid of the uncomfortableness in my joints?

It sounds like you may be hypermobile, which means your joints can move more than usual. You might have less stretch during yoga or feel intense pain in some stretches as symptoms. Instead of pushing too hard when stretching, focus on gentle moves for flexibility because this can help protect your joints. Also, make sure not to do any position that causes discomfort or hurts.

I don’t know what I did to my foot. I rolled my ankle and not the top of my foot hirts

It looks like you have suffered the straining of ankle and injury to foot ligaments. Thus, it is crucial for you to get an appointment with the orthopedic doctor in order to receive a correct diagnosis and plan of treatment.
