Hypertension.......Help!!!!!!!!

[munz]

what is it????? my DH is just been told he's got it. he's got to have two weeks of his knee strapped up then if that doesn't work (doubtful as he's already done 8 months of strenghtening exercises) then he's off to litchfield for 3 weeks (a physio/rehab centre) for intensive beastings, then if that doens't work it's an operation.

what's the worst that can happen? does anyone know anyone who's had the op and been OK? (he's in the army by the way)

hypertension is high blood pressure, usually defined as higher than 140/90

It's high blood pressure

Hypertension is high blood pressure. Are you sure it's hypertension? Not sure what his knee has to do with it

must be something else then - althou that's what he called it - apparently his hamstring muscle's too big??

hypertension

def not that, will have to double check with him what it's called.

could it be adverse neural tension?

Hyperextension?? Sort of 'over straightening' of the knee.

yes potty that's it hyperextention asked him last night i'm worried silly about it - will start a new thread thou I think.
