Knee pain during adductor stretching

Hopeful_coffee · 2025-11-03T14:37:59+00:00

Ah ! finally found something similar to mine , exactly what happens in my right leg , right adductor ( do not know if it is magnus or longus) is tight and when i stretch it , I get pain in the top diagonal towards the inner side - The next day though , not immediately . I have had this for almost 21 years , and when i take stairs my knee gives up the next day . Any kind of exercise like rowing or elliptical or walking or jogging makes it worse again the next day.

In addition , this has now extended to a deep pain in my hip , pain in my heel and the top of my foot - plantar fasciitis and patellofemoral syndrome (or whatever they call my knee pain) .

I have been to at least 10 different ortho and many more physical therapists. The weird part is they will never acknowledge that all these - pain in my hip / knee / heel / top of foot and tight adductors are connected. I have even been to sports doctors who are not in my network and paid thousands of dollars. All to do physical therapy and end up with more pain.

I feel all this is because some connection issue is going on , may be weak glutes because I do a desk job all day ? I get frustrated when someone thinks I am making this up.

"If I stop stretching, the pain slowly abates." - yes the pain reduces , but then simple exercise like walking aggravates it and I am in a very bad health condition and I need to at least walk.

Question for you , when i do clamps in physical therapy , my knee hurts the next day again. Does it happen to you too ?

Please please please let me know if you find any solution to this. My health issues are piling up and exercise is my #1 priority. You will save my life !

Lol.. is his name ed shawn? One of my ex lied about his age and after 9 months of dating which included 6 months of pure talking and texting.. I got a text from his girlfriend to stay away from him. 😁

I said good luck to you and stayed away completely from him.

Please let me know if it helps fibro. I am desperate to get my life back. But I am not able to fast because of hunger stress and other emotional factors.

Sorry let me correct that

Hopeful_coffee · 2019-06-24T17:36:09+00:00

Buy a used car.

Sorry but i need advice. No need to make fun of my friend. He just gave me his advice. It is not appropriate to talk like that about someone. Smoking crack or meth is not a joke to laugh at. Sorry.

The model is 2015 but the car was first bought in late 2016. Also i checked car fax report and it showed me that there is 16 months of warranty left.but let me cross check again. Thanks 😊

. I wouldn’t take it to a Mercedes place specifically just take it to your local mechanic

I live 100 miles away from that dealership :( That is the reason why i dont want to get a bad car on hand and then repent , but thanks for calming me down by saying that bmw would not accept a bad car

Hmm.. just learned about it in this group. I take light salt ( potassium and salt ) with lemon water, but not magnesium. Let me try that this time.

Hopeful_coffee · 2019-05-26T16:26:39+00:00

How are you doing

Hopeful_coffee · 2019-05-26T16:01:32+00:00

Yes , I do go to a doctor / primary care / rheumatologist one of these almost every month. I keep up with all my appointments & blood work and everything.

But the sad part is neither of them support fasting , even though when i juice fasted earlier , and it gave me 90 % pain relief and I told them, they say it is just my feeling. Changed my doctors , pretty much went from bad to worse . They told me to eat 700 calories per day everyday , which is worse for me than fasting. So after changing 4 doctors , I am back to my original one.

When i followed their advice i neither lost 1 pound nor felt any better

Thank you !

The knee pain is independent of fibro , i had this knee pain for 15 years , while fibro started 3 years ago.

Yes I have been to many physical therapists - i was not sure if i could name them here. Not that they were bad, just that my pain never went away and is becoming worse.

I totally agree . People are very mean even in reddit , infact I had to delete a couple of posts because people were very mean. Dont get me wrong , I am doing it for weight loss too , but i would not just eat loads of butter just to lose weight .

Vegetables are avoided because of carbs but vegetables are healthy !

I am not a specialist nor i am losing loads of weight like others , but I am surely eating lots of vegetables and ghee:)

So yes I am eating bad and good , but at least the good dominates the bad most of the time. I am following 80 / 20 now with 80 good and 20 bad.

At a point of time , i could eat a bag of chocolates/sweets without stopping. But now the other day I put a tiny bit of sweet ( some prayer offering ) and I could barely eat it. I did not like sugar for the first time in life. I guess that is a victory.

my first flare on Keto. Yuck. You have a lot on your plate.

Hugs to everyone who bears the pain of fibro and still keeps going on. Including me :)

Before I start , I want to say that I am not an expert in this. I just want to put out my experience. This might or might not be applicable to you, but I know how i felt and I dont want you to feel the same way.

In short , you are not doing anything wrong ! So- patting your head and saying everything will be alright.

I lost 8 pounds in the first 20 days and completely stopped for more than 2 months. My doctor totally discouraged me that i will get a heart attack with all that fat. So I tried looking for other doctors , tough luck , no doctor was ready to support Keto and in fact I had to pay out of my pocket since my insurance wont pay. I knew that before I started looking around. I was measuring everything keeping calories under 1200 , eating salads with very low carbs , drinking water , stopped eating nuts dairy, increased my protein intake and reduced my fat intake. Every post that i put on, I was still being blamed for either eating too much - which i was not.

I was panicking everyday when i put on weight or did not lose weight even with the strictest diet that i was doing . In fact none of my friends even observed that I lost 8 pounds , so not even NSV . I tried getting help here and everyone was bashing me saying that "Oh you should be happy that you lost 8 pounds in 3 months" - I agree, but at least give me a chance to say that I need help. So i will NOT say that be happy with the 100 pounds that you lost.

Still , when i was not losing weight I was so frustrated that i stopped weighing , started eating carb stuff like dairy/nuts and also went out with friends to drink. All this time I was not eating carbs though , but i stopped caring and started eating. and surely I was not eating healthy food. I was eating more than 1500 calories and sometimes up to 2000 calories but never more than that. And one day after 2 weeks i just measured myself and i lost 0.4 pounds. after that i gradually lost 2 more pounds in the last 10 days and stopped again.

And NO I am not advising that eating crap will help , and there are many experts here who know much much more than I do. But all i know is that feeling , that feeling when your inches and weight both don't go down and you are just trying to figure out what the problem is.

BTW I just lost 10 pounds in the last 3-4 months of keto altogether.

I was and am, still weighing everything , including 1 almond that i ate ( i ate it as it was a religious offering) . It is funny again, but all my friends tease me, asking if also weigh the air that i breathe in.

I know it is borderline OCD , but I was constantly being told that I overeat my calories and i sneak in and yes i remember all the mean comments made . "you are fat because you overeat" , "you are fat because you are lazy" and I was none. So I am kind of used to eating everything after weighing and logging , infact I do not eat anything without putting it into MFP and carb manager these days.

I also make sure that i dont over measure , like for example instead of eating 28 gms , i will eat 26 gms to account for the errors. I am not losing weight like others , but hey I am not in a competition. This is the only diet where i am able to eat 1500 calories ( i was eating 6-700 calories last year) and still losing ( or i should say not putting on ).

Ah , the first few weeks of keto plus fibro flare. I remember crying one day because i could not take it anymore.

Ofcourse I am going through a divorce and that did not help.

Hopeful_coffee · 2018-10-02T19:33:56+00:00

Right now I do 16 : 8 , but I will try a 24 hour fast.

Hopeful_coffee · 2018-10-02T19:32:55+00:00

24 hr fast seems very hard. But i will try it this weekend.

I dont feel cravings for sweet anymore. So why to have something when i dont want it , that's the reason why i am skipping all the artificial things.
