in reply to: pain in the back of the knee on standing leg #4116
Wow Elena, I am experienceing the same thing and havent been able to figure it out. I have been trying some stretches before I go to class and sometimes these help sometimes they don’t. Nothings really making sense yet. It is quite painful and strange – I also just have it in one leg.
I’m going to try some of Gabrielles suggestions and will let you know if I find something that helps – keep me posted too
Zin reply to: Pain on inside of knees #4036Hi Wendy,
I think one of the problems is Drs./Pt people etc want to give us completely different advice then our instructors – so what do we do? I’m in PT for another injury and of course he thinks I need to stop going to yoga.My Dr thinks I tore my miniscus (inside of knee) and I’m waiting to go for an MRI to see. I was always able to go back in the pose properly and never felt any pain at all doing the pose either until it was very painful and very painful the rest of the day. Now my instructors have adviced me to just stay on my knees with my hands on the floor and heels right behind my knees. I’m testing if I can go back at all towards my heel or bring my knees together. For me its the twisting of the knee that really hurts. Have they told you to just hang out here for a while? I find it boring and I really want to do more but for me its a lesson in patience!!
in reply to: Hamstring Insertion Injury #4001Wow Gabrielle, thanxs for the reply. There is so much fabulous information on this site – its going to take a while for me to go through it all but I’m so glad I found it. I really want to stay with this practice and these injuries have been making me wonder.
Do you think I can heal these while continuing to practice?
You say that what I am doing is actually hurting me but I was unsure of what you were referrng to, of course I dont want to do this.
In reply to your post…I do feel like its something I am doing yet there are so many poses that are bothering me I am having trouble figuring out how to correct them. One thing i decided to try since your post was to keep my knees locked and only bend forward until I felt the pull at the insetion. The forward bending seems to be the issue also as Jenny O commented about engageing the quad, I think this is something I have a really hard time doing.
The poses:
Standing Head to Knee – I tried locking my knee and bending forward only util I felt slight pain and I didnt kick out
Standing bow Pulling – Locked my knee and kicked out but only bent forward until I felt pain
Standing Separate leg Stretcing – Straighted my knees, grabbed my heels and bent forward until I felt pain and then tried to concentrate on stretching my spine and working more on stretching that then on touching my head to the ground which is more forward of a bend
Triangle bothers it too
Separate leg strectching – on these I didnt lock my knees
In Tree and toe Stand I feel it but it feels good to strech it in those poses
Separate leg stretching – is a painful one – afterwards it always hurts to turn around and even sit on the sore area. On these i also didnt lock my knees
I know theres a lot here, I really appreciate your help!!!!!!!!!!!!
