Guest guest Posted January 12, 2001 Report Share Posted January 12, 2001 About 3 months ago I heard my knee pop while going into a pose that was easy for me to do, one I had done a million times.It caused me severe pain everytime I tried that pose again and through research I found out that I had torn a ligament. <br>So I've been careful and and now it's almost healed. My question is - Has this happened to anyone else? Should I expect other injuries in the future? Was it my breathing? How can I avoid this again?

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2001 Report Share Posted January 12, 2001 In which asana did your knee pop? Was it the left or the right one? There is an ongoing discussion about knee injuries and related hip tightness on another Astanga board.<br><br><a href=http://pub42.ezboard.com/fyoga84291frm3 target=new>http://pub42.ezboard.com/fyoga84291frm3</a><br><br>Look for the 'knee gripes' topic.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2001 Report Share Posted January 14, 2001 Thanx for directing me towards the other board. It was really helpful and reassuring that I am not alone with this injury. By, the way it was the outside of my right knee - a ligament that often tears when twisted or hit hard that resulted in pain only during and after yoga. I'm finally beginning to stretch it without wanting to die!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
