Hi Phillip. Yes it is. I was told the angle places more emphasis and focus on the vastas medialias which in turn can help the tracking (I'm not technical...
Hi Pat, I can see why you find extensions more powerful - they totally isolate the qaud and build strength in the belly of the muscle. I think it's great you...

Hi Jennifer, I am sorry that your left knee has been giving you more pain than usual this week. When something like that happens, I always think the worst. I...
Yes, I like the elliptical 100% better than the bike! Thanks! ... From: jennifer.kelly34 <jennifer.kelly34@...> Subject: Re: [Chondromalacia Community]...
I don't do much in the training room, more outdoors which suits my brain better I guess. So only once or twice in a week for exercises like squats. I also...
Pat - Adductors: think of add, add to the center, bringing in, the inner thigh muscles and Abductors: abduct or to take away from, outer thighs, move away...
Jennifer - I'm not sure which way the "V" (of the V squat you talk about) is pointed. Do you mean toes pointing inward or outward? It may be different...
Hi Jennifer! How are you doing? I did the elliptical and the V squat today, so I thought of you. How is your left knee? Pat ... From: jennifer.kelly34...
Hi Sally, I meant in a squat stance, but with my feet turned out so that they look like a V. It's interesting that you have pain in that stance. So far, I have...
Hi Pat, My left knee is now back to 'normal'. I had a lot of pain behind my knee cap (do you get pain there for CMP? MY PT said it is referral pain), but it...
Hi Jennifer! Glad your left knee is feeling better! I get so afraid when I have pain, my thinking is that it will last forever and I will never be the same...
Hi Pat, I can relate to how you feel. I am also dominated by the fear that exercise could be snatched from me if CMP begins to get worse. As I said to you...
Jennifer, Yes, I enjoy doing new exercises that challenge me. That is why I started doing the v squat and the elliptical. I have heard that we need to change...
Hi Pat, I think you have plenty of reason to be hopeful and positive in terms of running. You did get the ability to run back and remember - there is no...
Hey Pat, Sorry I didn't reply sooner. I have been incredibly busy and forgot to check the group for new messages. Yes, it has been quite a nightmare. Today...
Hi Rachel, Wow, sounds like you have a lot going on in your life! Going back to school for NP or Nurse midwife sounds exciting. I work with both of them and...
Pat, Thanks for the encouragement. I am keeping up with my exercises. You are right that the chondromalacia can be reversed. Mine is almost completely tracking...
I just came back from a visit with my ortho since we moved to the Dallas area. We tried a steroid shot and then did the Supartz injections which didn't work....
I have had good results and bad results. I to had a lateral release that I believ emade things much worse. I had had scopes done where they just did some...
Then I think you should be OK. Like I said, I have had some very good result other than the one lateral release. Good luck and keep us posted. Don ... -- Don ...
I had a lateral release a long time ago (16+ years) and it was useless. I had a scope for diagnosis and to gather cartilage for Carticel, and had good results...
Hi Linda, I have had two scopes - one on each knee. The OS simply cleaned the area up. I was told there was a 50/50 chance in terms of it atcually helping...
That's exactly what I said -- keep things to a minimum. I specifically said if recovery time was going to be more than 6-12 weeks, to not do it, and wake me...
I have yet to meet or talk online to anyone who had good results from a lateral release. My OS says he doesn't do them except in very rare cases where he sees...
Jennifer: Sorry for the delayed response... haven't been checking in much lately. Prolotherapy is an injection technique that helps rebuild connective tissues...
